PokerStars Scamming?

[freydaddy]

It's to bad you have that outlook on the the industry, there is a ton of money to be made, however seeing your attitude over a measley $150 towards one of the biggest poker rooms out there, i doubt you would have much success in the business. if you sent the players and they played the required hands to earn the points YOU WILL GET PAID, if you tried to defraud Poker Stars you will not get paid, simple is that

Why would the biggest online poker room attempt to "cheat" and "scam" a new affiliate over $150? Perhaps your players were just tracked to someone else originally, or used Firefox and cookies didn't work properly. I do agree that it sucks about the communication issues, but slandering the poker room on a whole bunch of forums isn't going to resolve anything.

BTW, I'd be e-mailing them daily at this stage, or even e-mailing support and asking them to pass on the message in case e-mails aren't getting through, as well as using a different e-mail address to make sure they're receiving everything.

Ranting statements like that would be a good reason not to respond to you.

You said you don't know if they have qualified, so your only beef is they haven't responded. That isn't "scamming", but suggesting it is would be a good reason to ignore you.

Make sure that your players have "qualified" as that is the only way PS will pay you for them. Although they should still show up as a referral in your stats.
