Halt All TonyBet-Related Marketing Activities

[Pokerface]

Just received the following:

We ask you to cease all TonyBet-related marketing activities immediately and remove the venue from all of your sites. We are currently undergoing a stringent internal audit of all of our processes and operations and have been strongly advised by our consultants to cease all marketing activities in UK with immediate effect.

Please be assured that we have not taken this decision lightly and are planning to resume all marketing activities in the nearest future.

Due to the upcoming EURO Championships, we appreciate that you may need a few days to replace our brand with another, so we kindly request that you remove our brand by no latest than Friday 15th June. We thank you for your co-operation and apologise for any inconvenience caused. Sincerely,
Team TonyBet

AM said it is not a licensing issue and they will continue to accept UK players that come organically, as well as continuing to pay on any active customers.

Detailed info will be out in around 2 weeks they say.

Yeah that doesn't sound good...

and they will continue to accept UK players that come organically

Translation, those players we do not have to pay affiliates on

That's of course their right to do own SEO and try to get players like that. But it isn't free traffic either, as SEO efforts are costing money.

I understand that everyone thinks we will be fcked up again and maybe we will, but this looks really like their compliance problem. Not that it makes things better, because they are the last RS program that works in the UK.

That market is dead, cremated, bones melted, ashes scattered.

but this looks really like their compliance problem.

I think so. They wouldn't have pulled their affiliate promotion the day the Euros started if there wasn't a problem. They paid us a fixed fee for Euros promotion so obviously not something they have been planning to do.
