Eurolinx/twolinx are scammers

[herrkeuner]

Hi guys,

i told this story to a friend of mine and said i should post it here. i looked here and there and thought it is a nice forum!

ok lets start it!
iam an affiliate for poker rooms only we made some big success till now and i searched for a new microgaming deal because my old one moved to cake! so i found about eurolinx!
we talked a bit to get players to eurolinx and planned a leaderboard with 4 freerolls for a prizepool of $350 and promised me to pay for that also we add up a free money deal($30) for every sign up. first two weeks after the promotion started the affiliate manager recognized a casino player who wasnt allowed to do that because it was restricted to poker! i send this guy a mail here and there and he stopped that and we were fine! so after week 3 eurolinx stopped the $30 promo which i think is fine if its too cost intensiv and they noticed multi accounts and chip dumber.

here comes the climax:
yesterday i wanted to log into my affiliate account at twolinx.com and i couldnt log in. ok i thought this will be some mistake and contacted the guy in skype he said:"yes we banned your account" and told me that i did a very bad job bringing "bad players" and stuff and also the multiaccounts and chipdumber! i told him that it is not my fault that they are doing this because i wrote it everywhere on my page that this is not allowed. still hes telling me that there are too many multiaccounts. i said to him why dont you check the accounts first before you deposit and hes never responding to this question and always starts to say you just brought bad players. i followed that besides the bad players we got some serious guys who want to build bankrolls and that it takes time to get the loss back because of the freemoney. i mean when you start with $30 it needs time to move up and to rake more! then he started to blame why only 5% of the players deposited. i told him what he expected?! we wanted to bring new fresh players there wont come any high raker atleast not for this promotion.
he still said it was my fault, i told him tell me one thing i did wrong and he simply answered smth like:" i didnt expect that u make it public"...... yes of course i hide the $350 +$30 free promo just to my old players. that makes alot of sense

then he stopped talking to me and iam sitting here to tell my players that we stopped the $350 leaderboard which is like killing my reputation which i bought for almost one year as an affilaite and i also wont get my commisions for this timeframe which i think wasnt too bad!
its not like that i want to advertise smth. its just that i want you to know that i would not go with eurolinx! they scammed me, broke promises and also killed my reputation! its like i can insta close my affiliate site!

thank you for reading

ps: i didnt look over my grammar because iam somehow tilted and from germany!

regards

Wow this sucks. Hope things get resolved. BTW, whats a chipdumber?

[herrkeuner]

chipdumber are guys who makes multiple accounts throw the freemoney to one account and try to cashout!

Oh! Is that practice pretty common? Do people actually get away with stuff like that?

Well first of all welcome to the forum herrkeuner.

Unfortunately when you get deals like this it isn't uncommon for the poker room to start balking when it gets players of a lower quality than they would like to see. Whenever you get the room to put their money in the pot you are always at risk of them folding their hand. This doesn't make it right, but it's part of the reality of all this. On the other hand you might find a deal like this to be mutually beneficial, but not all are, and it's not always in your control like this wasn't. You need to keep in mind that poker rooms aren't in the business of charity and if they are losing money on your players or see that your players are abusing the system then they are going to act in their own best interests of course.

Maybe , but as a Business Partner Eurolinx accept this Promotion.
They could know it before, otherwise its also her business to make the security so high that this cant happen, as he cant do it as an affiliate.

They have to pay it out as this is part of a Business relationship... and to freeze an account and holding the commission is a very uncommon practise in my eyes and show us that Twolinx / Eurolinx are not reputable Partners.

Thanks for this Forums, to get help and protectetd from this kind of scammers and cheaters.

I also was thinking to sign up and promote them, now as i see how they handle her affiliate Business its for me a red marked Site.

wow, now they offers me a nice compromise (not)
i wont get my commisions for may/june and the revshare wont increase if i hit the boarder! thats very nice of them (not)

this tilts me even more!!!
