Sort of makes me wonder how many of these casinos are directly involved in QT!Quote:

It won't let me merge them since the rewrite changes the url.

Well this is just jacked up! I've lost thousands of dollars over this crap and it sucks. QT was not honest with us in that last email and I hope they burn for it.
I have the feeling that the money will eventually be released in order to get the monies to the rightful owners. In other words, this is not QT's money. I'm not 100% sure on the ramifications of actual player money. IE: Is it actually illegal to place a bet online, or is it just illegal to take a bet online.
In either event, affiliate funds should not be subject to any of this to begin with. The money we had in there was mostly generated by programs that don't take U.S. players anyway. I've never done a gambling transaction via Quicktender, just simply received payments for services.
I don't really feel the U.S. is looking to take money this from it's citizens. I think they were on a fact finding mission to find some offshore gambling sources and assorted info, and to cut off a major processing service for U.S. transactions. They certainly seem to have accomplished that, but I think the money will eventually sorted. JMO. Could be wrong. Who knows these days! lol
I hope that you are right CPA as I can not imagine how they think they can just take our money. I've always recognized the 'danger' of being an igaming affiliate, but I never thought they would just take our money via this method.
I don't mind waiting to get it back, but I'd just like to know that it's not lost forever.
EDIT: I hope that folks that was using QT was also filing and paying taxes if they are in the US or that could be the next bombshell they throw out.
They froze the Poker money on that debacle, and cut a deal for the Poker Rooms to cease in the U.S.. After they agreed, then the money was released. I think we are talking the same kind of thing here.
If you notice, QT says it has closed, (which was most likely one of the goals of the Sting), however, Use My Wallet says "Temporarily Stopped", so it appears the processor has agreed to stay clear in the U.S., but will continue in other countries. Again, JMO based on what we've seen so far.
Lets hope it moves faster than the Neteller cash did as that took quite a long time if I remember correctly.
I wonder how much the U.S. paid them....in order to be allowed to be seized.
I mean really...how dumb could they be ?
what's next.... ?
What sucks is they said they were contacting people via email - I have gotten no email! With something like this - thousands locked up and I haven't been notified of whats going on.Quote:

Anyway, I think that old guy who said the world was going to end who was wrong... well.... **** I know my world or at least a large section of it was :(
RIght now things are really not good for US facing casino operators, and i personally think that this is possibly the next step towards legalisation.
I understand that many of you focused heavily on the US markets and done extremely well with this niche, but for now I would heavily suggestnot giving up, but instead thinking of new ways to affiliate market.
Because the US are taking serious action towards US facing operators, All affiliates should just start refocusing on the Non US market for now until something becomes legalized in the US...

IMO it's ALL about the US regulating the industry and I'm not going to be a casualty any longer. Having thousands of dollars taken overnight via QT is a huge wake up call for me and I'm done taking the chance.
I'm pretty much with you ... why should we continue to work at something that doesnt at least show some promise ... right now things are looking pretty darned dismal. If/when things start to show promise I might get back into it full time - until then I'm just going to let the dust settle and hope that I can get all my money out of QT some time soon!Quote:

No one can be certain of what the Fed may or may not do to Affiliates. Our names and banking information are stored with the processors that are being seized! All this uncertainty has made me uncomfortable and for my peace of mind, I decided to pull all the banners from my Forum and chill for awhile and see what develops.
