Best Casino Partner exiting the market

[The Buzz]

Buzzy has learned that Best Casino Partner will be exiting the U.S. market by the end of the week. An official announcement will be sent to affiliates, but Buzzy just wanted everyone to be prepared.

[Topboss]

I have only 1 word to say to this and it begins with F !!!!!
Do you know if it will be only the US market or a total close down?

[Dominique]

Yes, what topboss asked please.

Total close down.

[graham]

I wonder if they are going to do the same as casino coins and continue to run with existing players or just shut down completely? Also the first post says US market, but the email sounds like all markets. So which is it?

[The Buzz]

Buzzy's understanding is it is just the U.S. market, but will seek clarification.

[tg12345]

It's all markets. No new players as of Friday. Quarterly payments on existing players (so I was told..)...

[ColinA]

I got the same email, and it looks to me like thy are closing doors totally, not just US, as Im in Canada.

[Redbush54]

same email here.

[allfreechips]

from my last payment it seems like they have been closed down for a while... yet another chunk of bad news

[Randy72560]

So is this US only or???? I don't see it clarified anywhere.

[opafrank]

Last week I replaced all Casino Coins banners, now I have to do the same with BCP - what a pain!!! A bigger problem is, what do I replace them with? As far as I know, the only 'big name' software brands still accepting American players are RTG and Rival. I already have plenty of both. Is there anything else worth bothering with?

[tg12345]

So is this US only or???? I don't see it clarified anywhere.

I spoke to them directly. It's everywhere, not just the USA.

[arkyt]

Amazing!

I wonder if all these casino groups are being told that if they pull out now they can reenter in a set period of time under a regulatory environment... or possibly VT is in the process of pulling something off. Sucks to see an entire platform vanish. Course I reckon they could have been hurting for quite some time and they are getting out for good ... the others are likely hurting too, they are just shaving more to lessen the pain!

[Topboss]

I also just had a chat to Tim and he confirmed that it is ALL that needs to be pulled - USA and the rest of the world. They cannot accept ANY new player registrations.
It is very sad as they were one of the few decent groups left, and they are not happy chappies at the moment either.
I also think it was really decent of Tim to take the trouble to phone as many affiliates as he could personally, rather than just sending a blanket email.
( He did say that he is going to personally contact as many affiliates as he can but it may be impossible to contact everyone by phone of course.. )

[BishamonMedia]

Things are looking very bleak right now, and its a case of Rome burning and letting in the barbarians. Sigh, people will look back at what the doj are doing and tut and shake their heads.

[big fish]

yes, this is a sad day indeed BCP was an awesome online casino affiliate program. one of the best IMO...

[cass]

To say the least this is very bad news indeed! BCP was really a great affiliate program and we have been marketing them for many years, the million dollar question now is which software program will follow VT next, RTG or Rival?!

Cass,
