    Run away FAST! Don't walk... RUN! About 3 years back they were a very good program for me. About 1.5 - 2 years ago it all went straight to hell. They DO NOT PAY! I have had a pending payment for so long I can not remember the last time I beat on them.

    The owner even promised to take care of me and asked for my P-Pal info. It was just a red herring to get me off his case. And... I know the former AM from there, he left as he was not paid. [Edit: Sentence Removed - see note below]. Do a Google search on Spadster scam and check out all the peeved players that got shafted too.

    Thanks! I singed up for them and they didn't respond so it threw up a red flag for me. I also noticed I never saw anyone promoting them. Any tips on a reputable spades program? I know a lot of people love playing spades online.

    I have not found a US facing one that is of the same quality (of software not mgmt). I dabble with World Winner but have not seen any really good action from that partnership.

    Originally the above sentence, including the last name, was included in the referenced post. However, after being contacted by Nir's wife, we have researched the situation and the evidence we have gathered indicates the accusation that was made regarding who runs the scam was not justified. So the sentence was removed from the post above, and Nir's last name has been removed from the post to avoid any further unfounded damage to his reputation.

    The information we have is that Nir was not an owner of Skill Rush, but rather an employee of the company that supplied their software. We were first told this by Nir's wife, but based on our own research we have also received confirmation from a third party with direct information about the operation, that Nir was not the owner or operator of the business.

    We also contacted the the original poster to identify what documentation is available to support the original assertion. That documentation consisted of evidence of a payment to an affiliate coming from an account in Nir's name. However, we have been told the account in the name of Nir was established during the course of software development for the purchase of goods at that time, and the subsequent use was not under the control of Nir.

    I guess any excuse is better than none. The fact remains that this is an evil program that not only shafts players but affiliates as well. All affiliates reading this should heed the warning to stay far away. (unless they wish to promote a property for free).

    I edited my post to clarify that no question was being raised regarding whether or not there was a scam. The only area where an adjustment was trying to be made was with respect to identifying a particular individual as running the scam.
