Help Stop The Freeroll Whores

[simoneaton]

This is one of the reasons why I hate freerollers. The worse offenders by far are th Polish. Freerolls are a good idea to trial out the software but the best way to enter people into these tournaments is using tokens instead of passwords making it virtually impossible for unwanted guests to get in but involves considerable amount of more work and removes the automated feature.

Yeah, this guy posts my passwords every weekend and he gets alot of traffic. Last I checked he had over 20,000 members.

I reported him to all the rooms I found links to but not one of them did anything besides recite all the alternatives to password protected freerolls.

Its pretty strange that many poker affiliate programs would allow this site to keep he´s affiliate account when he post passwords to other affiliates private freeroll...what does Pokerstars, FUllShit, Partypoker, everestpoker, titanpoker etc. have to say to that???

If you check the sites "low freerolls", many of the freeroll-post there is leaking the password to a tournament another affiliate is having, with he´s own affiliate links.
If its a pokersites facebook or twitter freeroll I got no problem with it, but other affiliates private tournament!...He should at least get a warning about that next time the pokersite will shut his affiliate account down.


Good news is that a noticed this site was closed a couple of days ago. .. : freeroll-pw.blogspot.com

Looks like blogspot.com shutted the site down... good job!

Yes that is a good thing. I am glad they are doing that!! In my opinion this leech or people like him are stealing affiliate earnings. Its disgusting. I mean these freerolls are for selected affiliates and their players will generate rake from these events. If someone not associated to the affiliate wins then the rake goes elsewhere. I am not sure why affiliate programs do not take this more serious and shut all his accounts down.

Simply put it is affiliate earning theft and if the programs do nothing they are supporting it since they will still pay him for this theft.

Also to note - FULLSHIT often makes affiliates pay for freerolls (sometimes they will pitch in 50%) so that it is even worse. Affiliates who promote Full Shit and pay for the freerolls get double burned.

PromoPoker.ro is a forum where they share all private passwords.
That site has to be stopped!

I reported him to Full Tilt, PokerStars, Carbon, Cake and Titan that I can remember but like I said, they weren't willing to do anything. I also contacted forumotion "the free forum site that hes hosting this site at" and they didn't even respond.

And by the way I do pay for 100% of the freerolls that hes leaking the passwords to.

Those guys at fourmotion emailed me today with tons of links. All these links have affiliate tags associated to them.

Maybe i should post them here? All the major sites are on there.

When I reported them I gave every site his aff links and it didn't make a difference. I think that Full Tilt said they sent him a warning letter but with no actual repercussions other than that he obviously didn't stop.

This was all back in May so I can't remember everything but I think that Carbon and Full Tilt were the only ones to say that they did anything, even when all of this was posted in their public forums at GPWA.

When we set up freeroll tournaments for our affiliates we suggest them using an eligibility profile which only allows players tracked to a specific affiliate(s) to enter the tournament.

In some cases, the affiliate would like a few players that are not tracked to them to play, so in this case, we can also set up a tournament entry coupon to issue for the odd player(s). This has worked quite well and eliminated 99.99% of freeroll whores; well more like 100%.

Generally with freerolls, affiliates have some sort or contribution to the prizepool so it makes no sense for them to allow players tracked to other affiliates to play and let other affiliates see the rewards of your work and contribution.

Using an eligibility profile or entry coupons really get the job done. Looks at our PAL/PAS Winter Poker League. We use entry coupons and its going great.

Good luck jschmuch.
