I don't see how 2+2 retained much respect here. They didn't do any research into an utterly shady sponsor, and are directly responsible for at the very least one poster (and let's face, probably more that we haven't heard from) depositing money into said utterly shady operation.

But it only took me 30 seconds to reject the rakeback/affiliate proposal you sent us.

Hi Mason,

I am more than happy to engage you in a discussion of that proposal either publicly or privately if you so desire. However, let’s not do a further disservice to the players by hijacking this particular thread further.

Everyone else,

I am not saying 2+2 needs to be perfect, merely competent. Not knowing an obscure detail that ended up being relevant about a sportsbook, would be not quite perfect. However, not doing even the most basic investigation into an advertiser is incompetence.

Given the rather colossal mistake 2+2 has made, you would also expect them to do something other than the bare minimum. 2+2 has a reputation of the utmost integrity, and to retain that integrity, they need to handle situations like this better. Just taking the banners down is something you’d see from random, minor, scrupulous site. However, for a site like 2+2 to retain the respect they hold with users, Mason (or at least another red) needs to make a post that goes something like this:

“Hi everyone,

We have recently committed a very serious mistake, and would like to apologize. We recently took advertising from a sportsbook that ended up being a very poor place to send our players. To prevent this from happening again, we have implemented policies/procedures X, Y, & Z. Additionally, any poster who has any problems at all with Oddsmaker, should contact [email protected] and we will use our contacts there to assist you as much as possible. Finally, we would like to thank PropPlayer for bringing this to our attention, and have sent him five free books of his choosing, as a way of saying thank you for helping to stop this before it could have gotten much worse. Again, we are very sorry for this mistake, but with the steps we have implemented, making it again should be nearly impossible.”

That is the sort of thing I’d expect to see from an industry leader in respect & integrity.
