jsa52 | Interview With John Abbott of GoneGambling
- START INTERVIEW -
Reporter: Hello Mr. Abbott. Thank you for making time today for this interview.
Abbott: You are welcome.
Reporter: This past week there have been a lot of different rumours flying around the GoneGambling site about something big that is about to happen.
Abbott: I know. I started most of the rumours.
Reporter: Can you shed some light on what is planned?
Abbott: Certainly. I have had a full week of very tough negotiating with a popular games site to have them come in and sponsor much of the GoneGambling site.
Reporter: What is the name of the games site?
Abbott: Trader Auction Games. Otherwise know as TAG City.
Reporter: TAG City? But don`t you already own that site?
Abbott: Yes. That`s why the negotiations were so tough. I knew what I was going to say before I said it and I also knew what the answer would be. It wasn`t easy with all that happening inside my head. I`m only a man after all.
Reporter: So how will this sponsorship deal you have struck with yourself, work? How will it benefit GoneGambling members?
Abbott: It won`t benefit GoneGambling members. Not unless they are paying members of TAG City. I`m running two websites you know - not charities. For over ten years I have had a bunch of freeloaders as dependents hanging off GoneGambling. They have fun and win cash and are a drain on time and resources. And when they request support, they expect a response immediately. Sadly, when I log in to credit most of these members with GG Points or issue GetLucky vouchers or fix a problem, I notice most don`t have one casino account number listed to try and win bonuses. That tells me that they have never, and will never, support the casinos who sponsor our site. It was OK to carry these people while things were going well. But since the introduction of the UIGEA, many Americans (through government scare tactics and misinformation) have ceased gambling online. This has caused a drop off of casinos who sponsor GoneGambling and affected the profitability of the site. So, the free ride is over.
Reporter: Won`t this move be seen as harsh and a knee jerk reaction to tough times?
Abbott: It will only be seen as harsh by freeloaders, and they don`t support GoneGambling financially, so they don`t matter in the big picture. We don`t need freeloaders for the site to survive. Of course they will yell and scream and cry not fair, and we`ll all have to leave the room coz the smell of them shitting themselves at the thoughts of their comfortable and FREE little worlds tumbling down, will be to overpowering. However, the next day, we`ll hose the room out, spread some lavender scented potpourri around, and the members who remain will get down to having a full time party at both GoneGambling and TAG City.
As for this being a knee jerk reaction, it must be the slowest knee jerk in the history of man. It`s been years coming. Unlike many casinos and some other gambling portals, we did not turn our backs on the American players who had supported us for many years once the UIGEA came into effect. Sadly, our show of support for many of these Americans was not returned to us in a viable and monetary way.
We have begged and pleaded with our freeloading members to support at least one sponsoring casino each, they wouldn`t do it. Instead they responded to our pleas with demands for more free stuff and more GG Points. Give me, give me, give me was often the resounding cry in Sunday is Funday chat. For those who couldn`t deposit with sponsoring casinos because of banking issues or problems, we started TAG City. Did they support TAG City? Not at all. In fact, some even went out of their way to sabotage the site. And some of those very same people have since won and claimed cash prizes in recent months from the very site they set out to sabotage.

jsa52 | Good upgrade, but i don`t pay.... if...
Hi
Because i have supported this site, with my own money, and GG team don`t even want to add
scandies/scandinavian (letter) support.... or last time, even 2008, i wasn`t able to use even EURO symbol = €
(if u see it, then it is first time, when gg team fixed something based - the feedback) :::: I edited, and all common marks are non-supported)
A with dots or o with dots, meaning common Ö and Ä ... and in some cases "å"
Your system block my emails, even it is valid, and like people suggested that use TAG City email, so i got few gg points and show my support to GG.
EDIT: So i need to pay, that it take over 2 weeks, to fix that. Because staff here can not trust my words.
John A. aka admin was only want to solve that, i got replies that i don`t know how to send screenshot and so on. While JOHN TRY TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE! And he did it.
So, i do not except miracles, but will except that people from €/euro-area, etc can use their own symbols, or better... use their own language. But Euro and pound - etc - should be a basic symbols on every PC - since 2000
Based my calculation, as a affiliate as well, you have earn(ed) THOUSANDS from me, and i believe that u have a lot of EU-members, without language support or non support, because GG -filter, and even basic symbol will missing.
So if i have paid thousands and i need to pay more via TAG-city, to be a 100% of community. Tell me reasons to pay.
And does "paying more" mean = No advertisers or/and pop ups?
First time feedback
Take care
Vesa
(frustrated, so i fix my typos)

gazelle | IMPORTANT 5,000 GG POINTS TAG CITY REWARD
Here`s where things stand at this time:
#1. Members at TAG who have paid for GOLD or PLATINUM in the past 12 hours should already have received their 5,000 GG Points. You MUST login to a game at GG and play it to make the points appear. Don`t complain you haven`t received the points if you haven`t played a game at GG. The GG Points balances you see on the games are what you should receive.
At this time there`s only Big Scratch, Jackpot Bingo and Stormy Weather hooked up for TAG members. All other games are the same as always.
#2. If you were a GOLD or PLATINUM member prior to 12 hours ago, we have to manually add your GG username to the TAG site so that the GG site can pick up on who you are.
If you are GOLD or PLATINUM right now, and have not yet received your 5,000 GG Points, post your TAG City username BEHIND this post. Don`t post crap. Don`t post anything else. Don`t post twice. We don`t want to sort through stuff that doesn`t matter. All we need you to post is your TAG City username. (Your post will already display your GG username and that will give us all the info we need to help get your 5,000 GG Points awarded faster.)
Please allow Trish1 (Littlebit) or myself 12 hours to credit the points. You MUST login to a GG game to make the points transfer from TAG to GG.
The above ONLY applies to GG members who are GOLD or PLATINUM right now. If you were GOLD or PLATINUM last month or the month before, but are not GOLD or PLATINUM now, tough titties to you!
3 MONTH MEMBERSHIPS
If you paid for a THREE month membership you will be credited with 5,000 GG points at THREE different times over the period of the membership. At the start of the first month, at the start of the second month, at the start of the third month. If you have already used up one month of the membership and are already into your second month, you will only be credited with 5,000 GG Points twice. Once now and once in your final month. If you are in the final month of your three months membership right now you will only be credited with 5,000 GG Points once.
PROBLEMS
We are bound to have teething problems as this sponsorship is implemented on the site. Please be patient and remember that we will NOT go back over game wins etc., because you didn`t get what you thought you should have when something was being put in place at the time or was waiting to be put in place. In other words, take the site and the games on an as-is basis while we are setting things up.

mickyb4 | Email From Member
Regina writes:
You had the best site on the internet, fun to play and always a challenge. To decrease points because one does not subscribe to TAG is so unfair! I used to play frequently on that site until they came out with their outrageous membership fee, now I no longer do. Keep your faithful players by going back to your true nature, fun and honesty. Thanks for letting me give my opinion of your new policy.
GoneGambling responds:
Hi Regina,
There`s no gentle way to say this so I`ll call it like it is. Having someone like you leave the site is no loss to us at all. You don`t support our sponsoring casinos and you don`t support TAG City. Why should I pay for your entertainment? You talk about us being unfair in wanting our business to at least break even, let alone make a profit. How selfish you are. From reading your email I can see that Regina comes first, Regina comes second, if there`s anything left for her to grab for free, Regina also comes third.
Go and put your hand inside someone else`s pocket. I`m done with having you pick mine all the time.
Your selfishness disgusts me.

Members note:
It`s funny how we had the best sites on the Internet while they were FREE. Suddenly, the thought of parting with money seems to make our sites change over night to not be the best.
I am of course expecting this stupid selfish woman to respond to my email with the usual threats. Now that she`s not playing on either site she has lots of time on her hands to try to damage our reputation. Many have tried and many have failed.
