Hi again, friends...
Thanks so much for the feedback. We completely understand the ill-will and mistrust toward this group. To understand what we're doing here, please let me give you some brief history:
------------------------------------------------------------
The APCW was founded in 2003 from the aftermath of the GPWA implosion with Cynthia Carly. We had a front row seat for that debacle, and witnessed what led to that collapse: Mostly the egos of certain webmasters who though themselves "all powerful", a lack of professionalism, and poor business tactics when dealing with online casinos.
We decided that the APCW would try it's very best not to participate in such things. And during our history you may have noticed that we never tell players where to play or not play... we never tell webmasters who to promote or who to avoid... and we never tell online gaming sites how to run their business. We make every effort to simply inform and advise, and if we give an opinion we make damn sure we say it's our opinion.
To that end, we have grown into a news and information source, and we try to report facts in an unbiased manner...
We have become an advocacy and watch dog group, and are dedicated to protecting players & webmasters when the facts we discover indicate problems or issues with a site...
We are also a marketing agency for gaming sites to reach out to players and webmasters, so long as we are honest, give truthful information, and operate in the best interest of players & webmasters...
------------------------------------------------------------
All that has led to Gambling Wages in August of 2008:
Over the past year, the APCW has reported negative information on Bodog, 888, Vegas Affiliates, the Kahnawake, and Gambling Wages. And the only one to contact us and show any interest in reaching out to you guys has been Gambling Wages.
Since APCW is in such a unique position, it only makes since that any site which sincerly wanted to solve it's image and operational problems would contact us for assitance. But it makes equal sense that players and webmasters would be extremely skeptical given the record of Gambling Wages over the past several years.
Please do not confuse the message with the messenger in this case. Gambling Wages simply wants the APCW to help them solve the biggest problems they have, and get their message out that they are under new mangement and moving in a new direction.
To test that theory, the APCW went all the way to Central America to ask them the tough question you deserved to have answered, to open a dialogue between the operator and their customers & partners, and to make suggestions on how to improve their service for you all.
------------------------------------------------------------
Moving forward from here:
Gambling Wages does not expect anyone to take them at face value. They fully understand that only good payment processing, openness, communication, and better relations with players and affiliates will save their business... and they must demonstrate this change over the long-term.
The APCW will continue to help them achieve these changes so long as they continue to move forward with them sincerly. If it becomes evident that they are not working to improve the situation, or that they are not doing what they say they are doing, we will abandon the efforts and report those facts to you as well.
Thanks...
