Absolute Slots changes to Slot Power

[mojo]

Here is the scoop so far for anyone who didnt get this from Marc who has taken over the affiliate end:

Dear Affiliate,
AbsoluteSlots.com has been involved in a domain name dispute. The dispute could not be settled by the parties.
As a result of this AbsoluteSlots.com has officially changed its name to SlotPower.com.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU?

Your AbsoluteSlots.com affiliate account will function without interruption. No need to sign up again as an affiliate.
Your players will continue generating revenue for you.
Your affiliate payments will be made and sent as usual.
You will be getting new banners and a new link to the new site today and tomorrow.
We will add a 15% BONUS COMMISSION to your account for April and May!!
We apologise for any inconvenience.
Best regards,
Mark Winter
Interim Affiliate Director
SlotPower.com | Online Slot Machines and Casino
PS: We will launch a special promotion to drive up sales from this week.

From Benjamin:

Unfortunately, as Mark indicated in his emails and post, there is a dispute currently going on regarding payment of consulting fees and commissions due to us for the services we have rendered over the last six months. As you can imagine when an owner refuses to pay a consultant/master affiliate their fees and commissions this is not a good sign. It’s basically the same thing as stealing all of an affiliate players after guaranteing them payment for life and then adding on a failure to pay for additional services like salaries, artwork, banners, payment of the fees at GPWA and AGD etc…. that they had agreed to. We are working on an amicable solution and hope that Absolute Slots continue working with its players and affiliate tracking maintained. We will keep you posted on the status of these discussions and we hope the owners do the fair and honest thing. If you have any questions regarding this please feel free to contact me directly at benjamin@absoluteslots.biz

Thank you,
Ben

Official statement from Slot Power:

Statement from SlotPower.com

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The management of SlotPower.com wishes to inform the casino affiliate community, that SlotPower.com has no business relationship with Casino Affiliate Programs, Effective Media, Card Spike, Warren Jolly or Louis Fabiano.

Benjamin@absoluteslots.biz is not involved with the affiliate, or any, matters at SlotPower.com. Continued libelous statements or the implication of non-payment to affiliates by the domain name owner of AbsoluteSlots.com will result in swift legal action.

SlotPower.com will honor all outstanding affiliate and player debt of AbsoluteSlots.com. All affiliates and players will be paid on time.

We are planning on adding additional casino brands, new marketing materials, attractive bonuses and the best overall gaming experience on the net.

To compensate for the work associated with the domain switch, we are increasing affiliate commission to current affiliates and will be offering new bonuses to those affiliates who start promoting SlotPower.com.

Please direct all enquiries to affiliate@slotpower.com

So it appears that Effective Media had the rights to absolutes domain so a quick change resulted in Slot Power. Banners will need to be changed. I had stopped using them because of the EM connection.

It appears that some banners are now available if anyone needs to make changes.

karmas a bitch eh...sorry I dont pity those who complain about not getting paid when they have yet to fully compensate those they stole from on another property.

It’s basically the same thing as stealing all of an affiliate players after guaranteing them payment for life

Hahaha. There will be very little support or sympathy from affiliates. It appears that EM couldn't get paid so they held the domain hostage. Hence the hasty change. Some links were redirecting here:

What a tangled web!

Not this shit again!

We'll probably be seeing effects for a long time to come.

Affililate payments are now going through Slot Power.

I have no idea what to make of this mess? How can someone completely take a site design and just change the name. Obviously Rival Gaming was ok with this happening to allow them to still accept deposits and affiliate payments?

hopefully this will be worked out quickly, I would hate to see the industry finally take one step forward then two steps back again.
