Hey there,
after some thought, I concluded that some of you guys might be interested in learning about this - at the end of the day, the crypto wild west is real and the unprofessionalism is unheard of. This time we are "talking" about BetFury, an operator one might think is big enough to make reasonable decisions.
To be 100% honest, I could not care much less personally (even though I would have of course appreciated the $$$) - what bothers me is how short-sighted a business can/must be in order to act like that... or I am missing something...
Ultimately, I will not stop trying to help bring the industry I am working in to a better level, trying to be as transparent as possible while doing so.
I can tell that I have discussed this with numerous iGaming professionals and they all were speechless looking at the numbers and how this is being handled by the operator in question, here BetFury.
I shared this on Medium:
https://medium.com/@BTCGOSU/btcgosu-ends-partnership-with-betfury-with-immediate-effect-e33df658c713Hi!
Can I ask for your contacts to clarify the circumstances and resolve this issue?
Thank you
Yours sincerely,
BetFury
Hi,
now that`s a surprise and I am not sure if you are serious about it, willing to really find a "solution"...
We tried to find a solution multiple times. In September 2022, some employee of yours reached out via email, we responded like this:
"Hi X,
thank you for your message.
This is what happened:
https://medium.com/@BTCGOSU/btcgosu-ends-partnership-with-betfury-with-immediate-effect-e33df658c713https://medium.com/@BTCGOSU/betfury-cheats-players-in-terms-of-cashback-btcgosu-1441ca1b4eac"
Your response was this:
"Thank you. Considering all our reputational damage after these articles were published, we could not let this happen again.
Best regards,
X."
Then, a month later, you came up with the below:
I have never blackmailed anyone, including Betfury. The act of retroactively changing an affiliate deal is unethical unless there is a mutual agreement on how this is going to be handled, ie paying out a lump sum and letting it go, full stop. And that is when I shared this in public (Medium). So is not following up on cashback promises and selectively making up some terms that do not exist, not to this very day. That is when I shared this 2nd story in public (Medium).
For what it is worth, I am long over this story and I could not care less about it nowadays.
Nb. It is hilarious that you seem to be playing the victim card now when it is YOU literally taking massive advantage of the big traffic we have sent you --> not honoring the negotiated deal
Nb 2. I am removing the negative tag here on the forum anyway, not because it did not happen but simply because there are way more brands that have acted similarly shady and whom I never tagged
Nb 3. Any discussion on the subject on a professional base shall happen via email (you know our official email address) in case you ever want to solve this. We have tried more than once, with no success.
Thanks, we're not interested in talking about it anymore. Just like you, we are not interested in discussing this case. Users ask - we/you answer. I hope we will continue to discuss the platform and token here. Wish you all the best 🤗
So yeah, if you really want to discuss a solution, please hit us up via email using the contact form on our website (or by checking previous email conversation) - let`s just not waste each other`s time. Generally, as you know, I have always been keen to resolve this, that`s how I operate.
