About LinkBacksThe Grand Prive Casino Group recently shut down their affiliate program. However, they continue to run their casinos and profit from the players their webmaster partners sent to them in the past. They have cut their "partners" out of the deal they made with them, and are keeping all the profits!

THANKS!! Your damn right a fight is what they are going to get!! We may have spats that happen in this biz with each other but when you screw over affiliates we can also ban together at the same time and fight side by side.

Great video, APCW.
Glad we are all helping out!
Thanks for letting programs know that affiliates will fight for not only to help their players but certainly themselves!

I have been in contact with Andrew at eCogra this morning. He, in a detailed email, told me that he has spoken to Grand Prive' management about this situation and doesn't believe it's as bad as we perceive it to be (his words, not mine).
He also stated that he provided Grand Prive' with my contact details, and that they have expressed an interest in speaking to the APCW directly to get all the facts out on the table.
Apparently, they would like to restore "webmaster trust" in their program... to which I must add, "Why?" and "What program?"

"TRUST" is a word that I will never again believe comming from Grand Prive
Their total disregard for what I would consider thievery of our affiliate accounts and any income generated is purely a criminal act.
Did they honestly believe this type of indifferent greed would be accepted without a fight?
My worst fear is that other Microgaming programs follow this type of practice - If Grand prive walks away without a scratch.
I don't know how some affiliates feel but, "MY CLAWS ARE OUT"

Well, that will certainly be a challenge, and one that I doubt they really comprehend. We could help them understand the challenge real quick if they agreed to have someone actively participate in the forums here and directly communicate with the webmaster community in that fashion. So please extend that invitation to them if they are indeed serious. I'm certain the folks here will be happy to help to enlighten them on the damage they have done to their brand.

It really does not matter how they care to explain the situation it really comes down to the fact that they are receiving money from players acquired from affiliates, and not paying a commission. Even though I do not know how much that actually is, it's still a fundamental principle they are violating.
I don't see other programs catching on to this bandwagon, because it's such a bad play.
