(For any of you who are not familiar with the rogue casino group Grand Prive and the stunts they have pulled to screw their players and affiliates over and over, simply Google 'Grand Prive affiliate' and you'll have thousands of pages to choose from)
For those that are educated on the subject, Grand Prive have done it again.
Intentionally timing it to coincide with the long weekend, knowing full well that casino managers, affiliates, etc. are on holiday and unable to react in a timely manner, Grand Prive have:
* Parked all of their web pages * Rebranded all of their casinos to add the word 'Bet' to the front (BetGrandPrive, BetVillaFortune, etc.) * Launched websites under the new brand name, but hid EVERYTHING regarding ownership and contact information using privacyprotect.org * Walked out on their contractual obligation with Microgaming and moved to the BetOnSoft platform
As this has only occurred in the last 72 hours or so, the full ramifications of what this latest stunt will have on players' account is not yet known, but it can NOT be good.
I am asking everyone to join me in a boycott of all BetOnSoft sites.
If enough players do so, then the owners and managers will have no choice but to force BetOnSoft to remove Grand Prive from their network.
The choice to join this boycott IS a matter of principles, but many of you are going to find it a difficult pill to swallow because this include boycotting Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet.
The casino games offered by AP and UB (blackjack, slots, etc.) are provided by BetOnSoft.
I have been a loyal player with Ultimate Bet for seven years, but that account is now closed.
Decisions like this are NOT made lightly, but there are times when you have to put your morals above your hobbies.

I thank all who join this boycott.
Reminder: in order for this to be the most effective, be sure to withdraw all your funds from the site, and then immediately contact support to tell them why.

its ridiculous that sites like this are allowed to run and betting networks even accept these sites, its not good business for them and they are gonna lose other sites too in long term if they keep it up
