[Integrity]

This is a difficult situation for the APCW as I believe there may be some mistakes that could seem like serious integrity issues and yet be simple oversites.

First of all, a poker room that required me to depost 20 Euro would <b>never</b> get me as an affiliate. Warning bells would sound in my head immediately. It's just strange, and I don't understand the need for it. If there is a legitimate need for a deposit in order to become an affiliate, then the process is flawed and should be changed immediately. Also, the statistical information provided should be brought up to 2009 standards if there is truly a bare minimum of information for the webmasters, as has been reported.

That said, it is also totally possible that an affiliate manager or account reoresentative offered this webmaster 40% or 45% to get them on board, and then the account was set to a standard 30% when actually openned. There is no concrete evidence to confirm this one way or another, as emails and chat logs can be altered. However, when I worked as an affiliate, poker rooms paid me <i>no where near</i> 45% (as stated in another post at APCW) and I would be very wary of one who actually promised me a percent of rake that high.

All in all this is an ugly he-said / he-said incident, most of which can be placed somewhere between sloppy work and a deliberate deception. I have not yet seen any concrete evidence that there was an earnest attempt to deceive from either party, however that would not excuse unprofessional behavior if the webmaster was in fact offered a higher percentage of rake than he received... whether deception was involved or not.

My initial reaction to this situation is that Lucas Poker may have dropped the ball when it comes to keeping things straight with their affiliates, and perhapse also in setting up a reporting system which allegedly leaves much to the speculation and imagination of the affiliate. At the same time, they also seem to be quite concerned about their industry image, seem to have tried to make earnest ammends with this affiliate, and are open to talk about the incident in a public forum.

KazaK: Tell us what you think Lucas Poker should do to make this situation right for you and others?

Lucas Poker: What do you believe Lucas poker can do at this point to show goodfaith toward affiliates resolve this?

Make sure that when you choose a program, it is white listed by numerous sites, and that the company or parent company is stock listed, this way you avoid these types of issues.
