FREE SPINS - Guidelines
Sky were pitted once for affiliate term changes, but not player issues.
They're simply not here anymore, grey, rogue or otherwise. That would suggest CM doesn't have a business relationship for new players any more, so I would err on the side of caution until Bryan tells otherwise.
That suggests otherwise.
That's just what you make of it.. You are an affiliate yourself, and know damn well that you thus have 'business relationship' with the Casino's you promote or list.
Nothing more, nothing less. As a long time member here, you should know better...sometimes it feels you're just making drama, or stirring the pot. There are better and friendlier ways to go about, if you see things that are not clear to you, or things that are not clear enough/open to interpretation - no need to be 'aggressive' about it.
Whatever relevance the Free Spins Thread has to a handful of posters, it certainly isn't what this forum is all about: it may attribute to their personal reasons for increased activity, but it's definitely not worth a gazillion pages of nonsense and high school drama. As for trying to come up with a new, acceptable platform for all - naturally respecting the wishes of your host, as the host obviously is trying to accommodate the people (a minority, mind you) that feel the need for this thread - then you need to be constructive, and not judgmental or anal about it.
I mentioned this on another thread regarding sky Vegas.
Seems to get a mention on here vested interest is essential.
Some players don’t give a hoot for affy’s nor the business interests they have.
They are here
Said this before regarding sky Vegas.
Blacked here as affiliates lost out.
By no means does that mean they are bad to ‘players’ by no means does it mean they are a poor casino.
Infact it’s raher the opposite, super fast paying, good bonus offers with fair wagering, not to mention no insane SOW requests.
We have ‘accredited’ or so called on here with terms so bad they make the eyes bleed, only earlier I pointed out the redbet/mr green issue, yet they are ‘accredited’
If this is just a forum for those with a vested interest then that’s super, but it’s not publicised as that.. ‘the advocate of fair play’
You simply cannot just dislike a casino as a personal business agreement went tits up, that doesn’t involve normal everyday players at all.
You cannot judge a casino as ‘your affy’ deal went sour and think that’s how normal players will be treated, it’s so far removed from the truth it’s frankly laughable..
the demonisation of betat/slotty prove testimony to this.
I don’t know genuinely where this forum is going anymore, you have certain mods with power trips, bans that are so laughable it’s silly..
is this a players forum where we can come together for our love of slots and online gameplay or just a place to further certain business interests.. I’ve no idea anymore, I was here for the slots and interest in casinos, god knows about the rest.
Regardless of what you think about affiliates, traditionally, they are also players, and almost all the good things you are now profiting from as a player (regardless of having ever used an affiliate link) is in one way or another due to the cooperation of affiliates, players and casino personnel, the effects of which have gone way beyond this, and other influential forums. You, and a lot of your mates, should try and take the time to have a proper read in the hundreds of pages of history that you can find in the blast from the past section..
Banter and heads up about freebies are fun, but they aren't all that important on the scale. Important is that you get a fair game, get paid in a timely fashion when you withdraw, have a clear picture of what to do and not to do, when playing with or without bonus, and know who to contact when you have issues, be it tech-related or otherwise. That's what this forum is mainly for. Aside from that there have always been tons of cool promo's and now there is even an awesome CM community giveaway thread, for and by members..
The Freebies thread has often indeed just attracted a lot of newbies that shill, post links to crap casinos, try to initiate pm-scams and whatnot - it's exactly the reason what it got shut down, several times. The forum has certainly increased, and was also completely updated, not so long ago. Some of the changes are still being smoothed out/improved. I'm saying that the mods are very busy.
The bans/infractions and/or power trips? Again, a little activity beyond banter and free spin/promotions threads, could have easily learned you otherwise..
This forum is not 'going' anywhere. If you have learned something here, during your stay about slots and casinos - job done.. if not, you've been reading the wrong threads.
If you actually pointed something out about issues with accredited casinos, then it will most likely be addressed. And solved. But, as said, the Team is very busy, and it's not just a matter of you 'addressing' or posting about something, and then it is solved. Everything takes time, and you have to wait for the right people to read what you wrote. If you post something about an accredited casino, which needs addressing, you pm the rep, and if needed, a mod. It starts from there. Players will help you, where they can, if needed. Or at least that's how it always goes in my experience.
It's all give and take - be nice, be grateful, contribute where you can, then the laughter.banter and freebies will find your way as if it was magic. problems will get solved, or you will find out it want a problem.
As stated above, in response to colin - the business side shouldn't even concern you directly. You aren't forced to sign up through CM 's links, yet you can participate in all the cool promo's from whatever accredited casino you have accounts with, and get support for each and every one. You get to give input, possibly improving your overall experience in your favorite casinos.
Sometimes casinos are full of it, and go rogue or just lose accreditation..that's also where we all chime in - we warn each other and protect each other, even boy-cot evildoers if possible. And that brings me to your statement about 'players caring for affiliates', and just wanting a Casino that gives freebies, and treat their players fair..I really think you've been here long enough to know better, but i'll tell you anyway: if a casino is screwing over affiliates, they certainly won't have trouble screwing players. Apart from the ones that are making them money..
And i know...there are tons of shitty affiliates out there as well, most of them are tied to shitty casinos though, and you won't usually find them here.
You need to see what kind of people you are dealing with here, on a daily basis. Most affiliates, and a lot of Casino reps and managers, used to be (sometimes) disgruntled players, that learned a lot here, and elsewhere, and decided to fix what needed fixing, and as such improving the industry as it is now. It's still far from perfect..
I'm probably boring you already, i hope you understand what i'm trying to convey though. This is a great forum, be patient, relax, it will all be sorted out.
I voluntarily applied to help with it whenever I can. Same goes with participating in the forum. I was supposed to be just Account Manager
