Sure Louis, hopefully I will open your eyes to the people you are dealing with..
Interesting that Purple lounge know who I am (if they don't a quick search on GPWA will tell them exactly who I am), and what they did. Their silence in this thread is deafening...
Fwiw, I was pushing PLounge on my vip bonus and rakeback sites back in the day when this was cool.. About a year into my pushing of PLounge, Callie @ PL contacted me regarding an old wordpress blog Post I had up regarding rakeback on Purple lounge.. she DEMANDED that I take the post down (even though it was 3 years old and totally legit when it was posted) - I told her that her demands were silly (b/c MG doesn't own the internet, and the blog-post was true and fine when it was posted- )...
Anyway So they threaten me with Legal action (LOL, email is below),, Purple Lounge then locked my affiliate account and seized a few pennies ,
The a guy at Purple Lounge gave my details to Microgaming and they contacted my then employer (who also use a MG poker software whitelabel solution) and were well aware of my name, address, job title, employer etc. Nice one, trying to lose me my job Purple lounge you scumbags. I have seen the emails and I know it was sent from a guy at PL to microgaming.
One of Callie's charming emails:
"Further to my previous communications with you, I must insist that you remove all mentions of Purple Lounge from your website. The offers which you have on the site are in direct breach of Microgaming and Purple Lounge Policy. If all references are not removed within the next 24 hours, your account will be closed permanently and all monies forfeited. Further, failure to remove all references will result in contact from our lawyers for Breach of Trademark and Copyright Infringement."
pretty retarded given that they were happy that I was pushing rakeback on their site back in the days when it was permitted.. Anyway I told her to tell MG they could stick their threat.
what PL did was illegal, deplorable and ridiculous.I didn't bother pursuing it, but when I saw the threads here saying how "classy" they are (from companies that work with them.. ahem) I thought it would be bad if I didn't warn the GPWA community of the deplorable actions and lack of ethics of this company.
The irony of it all is that sites like raketherake, rakerace dot com etc all mention rakeback all over the place, yet Unibet and other MicroGaming skins are pushed on there with no problems or threats at all , b/c who's gonna bite the superaffil hand that feeds them......
Irony, hypocrisy, lawbreaking, trying to lose me my nice £45k job the list goes on... all over an old blog post.
FAIL.
DO NOT PROMOTE THESE PEOPLE. THEY ARE SCUM.
