What Happens to Affiliate Funds?

[MassPoker]

A friend emailed me a news article about 888.com's position regarding the new U.S. legislation surrounding Online Poker and Gambling. It appeared as though Pacific Poker and 888 respectively is just abandoning their U.S. customer base altogether without finding any new sources of either depositing and/or withdrawing funds.

Also, I referred 4 people last month and am due to have that money paid on or around the 15th of this month. I have a couple questions regarding this;

a) will we be paid for the referrals that were brought to Pacific Poker this past month, and;

b) how will this new bill affect 888.com's affiliates from the U.S. in the future?

I sincerely hope that something can be done to circumvent this new legislation, and that we are able to continue doing business.

All In,

From what i heard from them you aff account is ok , you will still be paid and you can still refer new players as long as there notfrom the usa

That is correct- we'll be paying for all US players that had opened accounts prior to our announcement of blocking US traffic, and we'll be paying for any traffic which is not US.

I attached the letter we sent our affiliates; as you can see, 888.com has very strong brnading outside of the US, and we are sure that we can leverage this situation and assist our affiliates to bring non US traffic.
