As of February 2nd we will change the payout for signups from certain countries. All countries that currently pay out 1000 MobPoints for level #1 players will be reduced with up to 50%, including approvelevel 2, 3 and 4.

We have been analysing data for quite some time now and due to various factors such as changes in global economy with less depositors as a result, increasing fraud accounts/request and creditcard chargebacks, entail that we have no other choice than to reduce the payout scheme for Mob Points affiliates if we want the Affiliate program to keep running. Obviously we have no intention of shutting down the Mob Points Affiliate program, so this is a necessary step to take.

The Mob Points will be updated during February 2nd 2009.

Thank you for understanding and your continued support!
