    Default Third Bullet Poker fires it's last shot

    After over a year on the Cake Network following several years on True Poker Network (ick) Third Bullet emailed affiliates that the online poker room will be merging with Cake poker and all players will be moved over to Cake Poker.

    To all our loyal affiliates,

    As you may already know, Cake Poker has been operating and hosting our games for quite some time now. I'm sure you will agree that they have done a fantastic job. We are happy to announce that we are merging our players with Cake Poker. Beginning November 13th, the Third Bullet software will update to the Cake Poker software.

    We require that you create a NEW Cake Poker affiliate account to manage your Third Bullet players by Wednesday, November 11th. You MUST do this by clicking http://cake.ckpnetwork.com/?SubAff=1445316. Notice that even if you already have an existing Cake Poker affiliate account, you must still create a separate one to manage Third Bullet players.

    After you have done this, send me the email address and UserID of your new account. This new account then be filled with your Third Bullet players and cash balance.

    You will have access to an increased technical and marketing support team that will make your affiliate experience even better. In addition, this merger with Cake is expected to decrease costs and expenses that should increase yield on your affiliate commissions. We have full confidence that you will find continued relationship with Cake Poker to meet or exceed the level of professionalism and customer service you have come to know at Third Bullet.

    You will receive a separate email from Cake Poker within the next few days to welcome you to Cake. Thereafter, we ask that you please address your questions or comments to contact@ cakenetwork.net.

    Thanks,
    Third Bullet Management
    Sorry to see them give up the ship but at least players and their funds will move over to Cake. Not like many of the rogue operators (cough,cough) that steal the player funds and close up shop leaving only a banner farm behind.

    I applaud Third Bullet in taking care of the loyal players but am sad to see the players moving to cake and more than likely combining their funds on an existing Cake poker account.

    While it's probably going to cost affiliates the majority of their future Third Bullet commissions due to players not wanting to have two Cake accounts, at least the players are being looked after. This is probably the best outcome one could hope for in this type of situation.

    Thanks for posting the news and instructions sir.

    I never made boatloads of cash there but $50 here and there. I hate to lose the brand, it was always a nice lil' end of month surprise. And as Terry said, at least the players are secure. I hope some don't have a cake account, most do though.... I wonder if Cake will do like VP24/7 and AP did and allow the player to merge funds. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

    I already change my Third Bullet page to Cake, (was not pushing Cake). Pretty easy changeover and at least I can retain some of the rank I had with the page. Just added a disclaimer at the top so those that search out 3rd see it right up top.
