    Default ChipSplit: Important Notice on Press Releases

    Hi Guys,

    Effective immediately, all press releases will have to be approved by ChipSplit Affiliates before being sent out. Please email support@chipsplit.com with your releases to be reviewed.

    If there are unapproved releases sent out, then the affiliate traffic will not be accepted.

    Thank you.

    umm what? do you mean any press releases with an affiliate link embedded in them? If that, then I can understand. If you mean something different well you're going to need to define that in more words and basically explain affiliates are not allowed to make press releases, design websites, write content or represent themselves in any way in which it could reasonably be mistaken that their word is coming from Carbon Poker as official, and that affiliates can not represent themselves as anything but an affiliate (avoiding: sponsor, partner in wording). (I'm not an English major - someone else can write that). as it stands now this seems like a very vague statement and its not even clear what the policy is. It could got as far as being interrupted that no one who is a chip split affiliate can make press releases period without permission first on any matter. I'm sure that's not what's being said, but as is stands now I'm quite unclear what the policy actually is and what it is you're attempting to regulate or prevent.

    Some succeed because they are destined to, but most succeed because they are determined to.

    I would like to make a press release saying that Carbon is back in US. By the way, what is the date again, I forgot?

    Basically saying this

    If you send out a news post with Carbon(or any other property) attached and your affiliate tag is stuck to it - expect to lose all your income. Since if you add your affiliate link to it and its a generic link they would have to assume and can assume all your traffic is from this press release.

    Excuse me but this sounds like Horse Sxxt! - no offense to you at all Atil (your wonderful as always lol)

    Makes me wonder if there is some juicy news about to be released and has negative PR to it and a form of damage control is to advance notice everyone - since we know how important reputation is to them.

    Or just another bullsxxt tactics that limits affiliates to be creative and do their thing. I say fxxk it!

    This actual rule makes me "Nauseous" - ship the Gravol please!

    I really don't understand what all the fuss is here. 99% of affiliates don't even receiving their traffic for Press Releases and I'm not saying that you can't released them, but that they have to be reviewed. We have had cases in the past where affiliates put out wrong information and we want to control that. Pretty simple. Articles on your sites are still fine.

    Do you guys really not know what Press Release means?

    Really? I'm really surprised you look at it this way GFPC. It's best to ask questions than jump to assumptions and post it on other forums.

    It makes sense to me. From my understanding this has come down from Merge and it is to avoid a ton of unnecessary exposure. This is not just a chipsplit/Carbon thing, I think it is essentially a network rule set by Merge for all the skin operators. Maybe Chipsplit is just the first to convey the message.

    Personally I think it is going to be hard to come back into the U.S. without receiving a bunch of exposure on the various poker news sites, but the network can make any rules they want.

    As long as your not buying press releases through a PR service, I think you'll be fine. If in doubt just ask your A.M. Seems pretty straightforward to me. No different than when non gaming companies tell us we can't bid on certain PPC terms unless the affiliate commissions won't be honored.

    Exactly. I really don't see the reason for your extreme post GFPC.

    A press release is basically any content written to inform members of the media. Both the term press release and members of the media are extremely loosely defined terms.

    Also to clarify what exactly is the policy? What is it that can't be posted on press releases? Affiliate links, any mention of Carbon Poker - no press releases at all from any site that promotes Carbon poker.

    If I got word Neteller was returning to the US market could I do press release that Neteller is returning to the US market and here is a link of sites that accept them? And on that site promote Carbon Poker?

    You post was incredibly vague and includes verbiage that affiliates might not get paid. Of course affiliates are going to overreact, or at least quickly question it.
