This Week at PAS

The big news this week was that the echeck and paper check processor for Poker Stars and Full Tilt went down.  Countless players were bounced checks and currently players in the U.S. are unable to deposit by echeck at those rooms.  It appears that although Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet’s echeck processing went down briefly they have once again started processing echecks again.  Hopefully this is just a temporary problem… Continue reading

This Week at PAS – May 31 2009

Starting tomorrow June 1st the Cereus Network, which consists of Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet, will start deducting 50% of all cleared bonuses. While this is still better than many online poker rooms it is still not as good as the previous terms where Absolute Poker did not deduct any bonuses from MGR and Ultimate Bet only deducted 25% of bonuses from MGR. Both rooms will still continue… Continue reading

This Week at PAS – April 18

This week was payment time for Full Tilt, Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet. Unfortunately though there have been some delays. Full Tilt Poker was able to pay our players around 2am ET on the 16th. While typically they pay our players between the 10th and 12th the range is the 10th through 15th so payments were only a couple of hours late. So many players are… Continue reading

This Week at PAS – March 27

This week we removed Poker4Ever from PAS. Poker4Ever started deducting 100% of bonuses from our commissions. This essentially meant that the more players we sent to Poker4Ever claiming a first deposit bonus, the more in the red we would go. There are not any offers on PAS that deduct 100% of a bonus from commission, this would make it impossible to make money promoting virtually any poker… Continue reading

Poker rooms like Betsafe and Sun Poker had already left the network and the player base had dwindled ever since the UIGEA passed. The only Cryptologic poker room that was promoted on PAS at the end was InterPoker. We have decided at… Continue reading
