Aced $25 been added & been away

[scrawnybob]

hi all

sorry for my absence the last few days - had to go on a stag do in Spain

as I understand it the PKR game didnt run as we didnt get 10 min ?

I will have the bodog results up once I have results email from them

I will have fulltilt results up later today when I get them done

I will have aced results up later today also

just to mention that again the aced game was setup as a $25 gtd not added ... so I have just made the additional player trasfers to the top 3 players so the payments are correct

also the payments for the $25 added on last weeks game

Aced have also made some announcements regarding their affiliate program which looks like they will be affecting affiliates but not players at aced - I will update as and when I have more details in terms of what will be happening with the 2 remaining games once Carbon / PDC & Merge have properly announced their solution and how they plan to proceed with aced from the POV of players and partners ...

players need not fear - they will be looked after even if affiliates arent at the moment (but hopefully they will)

cheers scrawnybob

Thanks Bob I noticed the payment in the lobby the last 2 weeks and thought that looked strange. Aced have had some problems getting the games right.

Thanks villa
i have requested a withdrawal
Lets hope it gets approved

Note that earnings through the Aced.com affiliate program will not be honored by or transferred to your PDC affiliate account.

PDC will honor affiliate earnings.Does that mean they will also just take over and honor the player accounts ?

I for one hope they stay open, i like their outs program and plus i am a big Merge fan boy anyways. I did hear about them screwing over the affiliates though and that sucks for them, especially the good ones like Bob

hi

just to clarify - I know this announcement was made early and does NOT reflect the intensions of carbon / merge who have taken on aced business ...

Aced have announced they are closing the affiliate accounts and affiliatr side of business - ie. they are cutting off me and others in the business

they have said nothing 100% about players

and this is why I DIDNT announce anything because nothing has been properly announced ...

however I guess if others are making news out of things a bit selectively before Merge and PDC have clarified what they are doing I guess I better outline what we know ...

I honestly dont thing players have anything to worry about - either

aced will carry on under the new management / owners (Merge / Carbon) and hopefully they sort out the affiliate side (the announcement was a half assed one from aced BTW)

OR

aced players will be moved (including balances etc) onto carbon poker or PDC and the aced site will get closed down in an organised manner and hopefully they sort out the affiliate side also

Basically announcing aced is closing is a tad jumping the gun - they weren't doing well and in order to make sure things are properly sorted out Carbon / PDC who are also the owners of Merge Network have taken the site on - I dont know what they deal is with their debts etc but the point is that the player deposits etc would be ring fenced and this is all being handled by carbon / Merge so that players DONT lose out.

other sites might report things early to create a bit of a panic and direct you to new new rooms to sign up to etc - but I'm not going to make a fuss out of something that could vastly more affect me than it not likely affecting players

Im not saying that you shouldnt take your money out if you want to -

do what you like / feel you want to do ... but essentially this has come from discussions in an idustry forum about a shitty notice issued to all the aced affiliates that they were closing down the affiliates program & accounts NOT players accounts

and Carbon / PD / Merge have followed up confirming that they have taken over Aced and the original email sent by aced wasnt really very correct or how they planned to handle taking over the problem of aced and that players and indeed partners would NOT be left high and dry - it just all needs sorting out

I dont like execessively melodramatic news reporting and as hitchikers guide says ...

DONT PANIC

hi all

ok so just to add that I think Aced announced they will "close" the affiliate programme on 7th May

that isnt the site

however to put this in perspective Merge / PDC / Carbon have taken on Aced afaiks and are trying to figure out the best way to proceed and I think will offically announce something soon

the aced announcement wasnt even directed at players - so I think was released early before Carbon (who have now got aced to sort out) had figured their solution and announcement

like I said feel free to do withdrawls but I'm confident that carbon will honour the player balances and guess they will just be moved

this is what I have been told "the players will be ported over to carbon / PDC - nobody will get screwed - not players - not partners"

cheers scrawnybob

I hope that everything is sorted out OK
when EPP closed down and they transferred players accounts to another site albeit another network it still hasnt been sorted
I and others are still waiting for monies to be paid out after the site they moved to closed down
So i would rather try and get my money out myself rather than wait for them to do it
