CardSpike Poker Room Tries to Make Good Finally
Following two month payment delays to customers and affiliate partners and much controversy related to the possible ownership of online poker room, CardSpike.com, that company's management on Tuesday issued the following statement to Gambling911.com, ensuring that everyone is now being paid what is owed:
The management at CardSpike would like to sincerely apologize to our affiliates, players and service providers for the recent issues relating to the CardSpike.com online casino and poker room.
A lot of inaccurate information has recently been printed in the media concerning CardSpike, and this will be corrected over time. To date our focus has been and will continue to be getting over the operational hurdles that have arisen and getting all the people that are owed any money paid in full. One thing that has been accurately reported is that our affiliate payments were delayed and this is something we apologize for. We fully understand the significance of this to the affiliate community and have been working hard to make this right. These delayed affiliate payments were the result of an integration issue which we are now confident has been resolved. This is not offered as an excuse - rather as an explanation of what has happened. At this time all affiliates have been paid up to date for their services and in an effort to rebuild trust we will soon be forwarding affiliates a payment equal to their last two months commissions to be used as a credit against services going forward. We hope that this will help to alleviate concerns surrounding future payments and allow us focus on building the CardSpike brand into a premier online casino and poker room.
We would like to thank our players, service providers and affiliates for their patronage and support to date and hope for their continued support going forward.
Thanks,
CardSpike Management Team
Gambling911.com began covering the CardSpike fiasco earlier this month and we're sure it's just a coincidence they suddenly found a means of paying everyone that next week after what some affiliates say was up to a two month waiting period.
The GPWA and other sites have also been demanding CardSpike to pay its affiliates.
