Well I'm back, and it was a very interesting and busy conference. I tried to hit all my bases while I was there - here are a few.

You could bring up the retroactive changes that Fortune Affiliates have made. This is concerning many webmasters. I know that this is also being mentioned with FA reps at the CAP Miami Spring Break.
Yeah, they were getting pretty beat up about this. And I am sure they are getting dog piled in Miami

They are aware that many affilaites think that this sucks - I can understand their points on this, but I am unsure if I fully agree on how this is being implemented. There are a few other casinos that are doing this as well.

Equally as important to me CM, is the Reverse Withdrawal. I'd like to see casinos offering to reduce it for players on request. Better still, as someone previously mentioned in my Sticky thread, Microgaming etc could allow this to be included optionally by the casinos, with a setting accesisible by the players. As i mentioned previously, i think this would be a good approach to show that they all care about the issue of chasing losses contributing to addictive gambling.

Happy to say that this is something that is being worked on, and reverse withdrawal periods are being reduced at players' request in many casinos.

I hope you got my invitation to Miami - I never heard back from you.
I sent my reply telepathically, but I guess that didn't work. Naw, too busy to sit around a pool and get wasted. I can do that here

(no pool, but a Biergarten)
Seriously, I can only fit in two affiliate oriented conferences a year - CAC in Amsterdam (it's close by) and the CAC in Vegas (piggy backs the G2E). Anything more than that would just be overkill.

This was tossed around during the "Bonus" panel discussion. "greedygirl" might be able to fill you in a bit more on this.

Why do you say one thing to a player to elicit his deposit, then the direct opposite once he's deposited, played and it's too late to turn back the clock?"
Didn't see them.

Here are three nice direct questions for anyone from Golden Palace:
1) Why do you claim you do not answer to your software provider, Playtech?
2) Why is baby abuse for advertising purposes acceptable?
3) Do have have any intention of paying those handful of players remaining on the scene that you robbed in 1999 / 2000 and have provable, legitimate claims?
Didn't have a chance to chase down the GP guys. But Playtech adamantly disagrees that GP is not answerable to them. I also spoke with one of the executives of the Kahnawake GC and he was going to look into this further.
