World Bingo Network Closes

[Sunflower]

Dear Affiliate,Unfortunately, due to many circumstances totally beyond our control, World Bingo Network will close its doors, effective May 27, 2011. This has been an incredibly difficult decision, but we have no choice. Obviously this will affect all WBN affiliate sites and affiliates. We will do our best to settle all accounts if and when possible.Thank you for you past support. We wish you all the best of luck for the future. Best regards,Julie Burton & WBN Management Team

We will do our best to settle all accounts if and when possible.That doesn't sound too promising!!!

Another nail in the coffin.
They also owe me commission from a few months back.
I somehow don't think we are going to see it.....

[mynuw]

They owe me for several months also....Wow! What can you do??? NOTHING!!!!!!!

[pokertramp]

I have been emailing them for months over a carryover balance that disappeared months ago. They replied once stating there was no carryover a few months back and never replied after that. They are crooks anyways.

If you use Gone Bingo or xoom bingo might want to check them. The Bingo sites are up and running but you can not acces the affiliate sites.

This was a rogue group for players anyways, from the USA bingo terms and conditions:

Deposits may not be withdrawn except on closure of account.

Accounts must have been funded with a cash deposit within 15 days prior to requesting a withdrawal.

Withdrawals are not permitted within 10 days from initial registration of an account

All deposits must be fully cleared prior to a withdrawal being processed.

Management reserves the right to delay payment of any large winnings while you provide a picture or story for promotional purposes.

Casino game wagering requires a 20 X playthrough requirement before being eligible for withdrawal.

Minimum withdrawal amount: $75.00.

Maximum withdrawal amount $5,000 per 30 day period.

When you withdraw winnings, any BBz left in your account cannot be more than 50% of the cash left in your account.

I say good riddance.

Sad to see them go. They were very much pioneers in online bingo. If people like them hadnt pushed the boundaries then a lot of what happened since might not have happened. They poineered the concept of networked sites/rooms and many other ideas. However, leaving affiliates high and dry is not good. They still owe me $$$$.

[GaryTheScubaGuy]

me too.

Its funny. Every conference I attend (around 30 a year) you see the companies start, thrive and then fail.

It's all about credibility which is nearly nonexistent in this industry outside of a few standouts.
