Bovada/ ignition confusion over moving players to Retention Channel

[GamingPro]

Concerning chat over at reddit. Bovada/ SLOTS.LV and Ignition are sending players invites to there new casino with exclusive rewards to BVX casino. The invites are only going to old players, and you log in with your ignition casino log in's/

"Has one one else got an invite to BVX? It’s apparently an invite only exclusive platform. What are perks of this site?"

"I got one. It's basically just another Bovada site. It has everything exactly the same except it doesn't have poker. You can transfer money between the two sites. If you deposit $100, you get spin a wheel to get free rewards points once a day for 7 days. Supposed to give you better bonuses and rewards."





This is very concerning, discussion at reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/Bovada/comm...es/bvx_invite/

indeed seems so.

This reminds me Bwin sending the whales to Premium.com

I hope this will be clarified

[wonderpunter]

they have usually been a straight affiliate program for years, would they tarnish that rep?

[Cash Bonus]

indeed seems so.

Yeah, it does appear to be the case. After reading the OPs message, it made me suspicious that they would send a bizarre notification like that to their partners.

For us milk and honey, for you peanuts... looks like this...

Yep, I do confirm, Bwin . com is doing same trick with their high profile customers (transfer them to Premium . com)

[kwwriting]

Oh wow.

Wasn't Bovada sold a few years ago? New management might not care about the older affiliates.
Just skim off the consistent losers and leave the rest in the affiliate account.
Does BVX have an affiliate program?

[Sherlock]

I am confident that Ayre is still behind Bovada. Until BSV and Wright it was a good news. And until now, they paid like clockwork. So I am far from making assumptions. There are a lot of threads accusing Bovada/Bodog affiliate program of wrongdoing and until now they all were false. Not everything was always perfect there from technical standpoint, but there was never intention to rob affiliates.

Yes but the casinos themselves are inviting players to their new casino, without tracking it seems, and giving them big rewards and bonuses to play on the new site. Might be the casino and not affiliate program.

On another note the affiliate site hasnt updated any stats this month,

[TheGooner]

1/ I would be concerned if the player tracking wasn't being carried to the new platform.
2/ I see finance stats for Aug 1-3 on site, and impressions for Aug 1-6 on site.

bwin sounds like premium theft at best

What is the new tab "Retention" about?
Can it be the new casino?

[MMM]

from their email:

You may notice over the coming days that your affiliate account will show customers under a new channel, and we feel it’s only fair to explain to you what is happening. This channel’s name is “Retention x 1”, and will appear alongside the other brand/s you promote via Revenue Network.
The channel has been created in order to track, record and measure the revenue activity of select VIP customers separately to the overall playerbase. The original customer referred to the brand by you has been transferred to this channel by way of a new Customer ID, as it is the optimal method of tracking their specific behaviour. The commission deal that they were originally acquired on has been carried over exactly, which means you will continue to earn commission on this customer as before.
The great news is that this will allow the brand to provide the customer with enhanced benefits which, in turn, will give you escalated potential to generate meaningful commissions. Some of these benefits include:

• Higher Withdrawal Limits
• Personalized Hosting Service
• Bespoke Bonuses

We are very excited about this evolution, and are confident that it will make a meaningful impact to your earnings potential with Revenue Network.

I suggest that everyone accusing RN of wrongdoing should apologise and the thread name should be edited.

[GamingPro]

I started the thread and agree the name should be changed.. Can i ask why they didnt tell us this three weeks ago, when all the players were getting invited, instead of after? You know there is not too much trust in this industry, and with the way things are going ill just say lest see.

I have edited the title to be a bit more in line with what the research shows.

Tried to pick words that would possibly be searched for with the limited character space there is.

Actually only recently visited GPWA after several months away as my home build and other business ventures were not related. The reason was to understand what retention channel is. Now it is clarified I hope we can see some transparency of what players were targeted and who moved over.

I would love to see the same.

I have 2 signups on 17th of Aug, 1 FTD on 14th of Aug [sic], first deposit on 5th Aug [sic!].
I would expect the reverse order of history.

Was MMM the only one to get an email explaining this or am I the only one not to have received an email from RN? Promoted them for many years with very significant number of referrals, yet the only information I have had about this is from this thread, for which I am grateful.
