Affiliate shout-out "www.poker-signup.com"

[dealace1]

I really doubt that changing an affiliate is common place but I have reason to try and cannot get my current affiliate to respond. I'm looking into any insight you may have.

I signed up at Absolute Poker 2 years ago just to try it out, I signed up there because a friend played there. I did not use a signup/affiliate code. Through discussions with AP support we can only assume that someone on my computer had surfed a site that put 'http://www.poker-signup.com" in a cookie because AP has them listed as my affiliate.

This year I decided to take my playing to the next level and researched rakeback affiliates and tried to have my account switched. AP refused, as I guess they should in order to protect the affiliate business. In Dec 2006 I decided to stop using my AP account over this issue, and have not generated a penny of rake on that site since. I have tried unsuccessfully to contact the email address that AP gave to me 'webmaster@poker-signup.com' to see if they would release me given that I earned them a lot of money in the previous year and no longer play there at all due to this issue.

Do I have any options? Is that account dead now and my only option to play on those tables and receive rakeback to use BCP or Vegas724? People have suggested opening a new account under a family members name etc. but I want everything 100% above board. If AP really doesn't want me back I won't come back.

I would appreciate any advice you might be able to offer on this issue.

Thanks,

...Deal

One of the skins is really your only viable option at this point.

Hmmm, something tells me the whois for this site might not be legit

If you feel like having them lose their domain you might report them to ICANN too. At least then you might get some correct contact info.

Thank you all for posting. And thanks to the affiliate that I was trying to contact for contacting me and offering to release me. Someone from this forum let him know about this post. What a great community.

Thanks so much,
