New GREAT offer...

djfonti · 10-01-09, 10:51 PM

Back to business people, that is enough Benitez-style crazed ranting for one day!

Can someone highlight exactly what the issue is here about pending/requirements etc please? I am still not clear as to what the 'issue' is.

I need to do an offer on my consoles account, and this may possibly be it. All I am going to do is sign up, deposit, and perhaps wager at a later date or straight away, I don't know yet. That would go green yes?

Sorry for the stupid questions.

At the moment, from what I gather you sign up, but before you deposit the offer goes green.

Not any more ....

Lee has changed it so now you sign up and complete the offer (deposit and wager at least £7) and then it goes pending for upto 14 days.

Good offer in my opinion

This is the problem atm, but I trust eXceem users to do the right thing.

As long as you deposit the money as required, it will credit fine.

Now this 'problem' is public it is at risk of being abused. I will review this on a daily basis between now and when it is fixed by the advertiser. If it is being abused then I will have to pull it, temporarily. There is definitely nothing to gain by abusing it because, a) it will ruin it for others when the offer is withdrawn, and b) your credit will be revoked. No point you see !!

I hope it doesn't come to that.

I reeealllly hope this offer doesn't get abused !!!!

Its sooooo much easier to get people to sign up when Paypal s an option !

I thought that earlier when I posted but didnt want to mention it, lol.

Is there anyway some of the posts in this thread could be edited by the admins/mods to delete information that might be used to try and abuse this offer?

Agreed

Unfortunately, due to the public announcement of the tracking issues it seems that there is a bit of offer abuse happening.

I do not want to risk losing this offer therefore I have taken the decision to put a hold on it until I speak to them tomorrow.

Ill reassess the situation then.

Wasn't planning on making another post in this thread but I'm now feeling guilty as I appeared to have spoiled (for the time being) a decent offer.

Certainly had no intentions of doing so and I'll try my very best to make up for it in one way or another. I'm open to suggestions of ways to redeem myself!

chigley · 11-01-09, 01:19 PM

Oh come on try and keep it realistic

I'm considering competition ideas or something but can't think of anything that hasn't already been done.

If I'd have kept my gob shut, people wouldn't have known about potential abuse opportunities, and the offer would still be leave.

It could have been figured out though by someone who did the offer, so atleast it wont mean a revoke for someone

Charlie, dont worry about it mate!! Seriously.

It would have been found out at some point I'm sure.

I could keep running it but I don't want to risk losing it. This is the best way to deal with it for the time being.

I dont blame you nor should anyone else. It isnt your fault that the tracking has flaws.

I'll update when I know more.

Cefca · 11-01-09, 05:29 PM

I'm probably just stupid, but I don't see the abuse since if no'one deposits, their offers gets revoked anyway. The only problem I see is with trades.
