FULL TIME FOR HAMMERS ONLINE CASINO
(398) (7-September-2006)
Partners agree to call it a day on disappointing business
Online casino players and affiliates alike were receiving bad news from
the one year old Hammer's Casino this week as the partnership between
Imperial E-Club and the West Ham United football club decided to call
it a day after disappointing business results.
The closure is being effected amicably, with a seamless transfer of
players accounts over to the Vegas Red online casino. The heavily customised
West Ham United online casino site is to be closed, and the HammersCasino
domain will go into escrow for several years in terms of the original
agreement between the parties.
Affiliates will notice little in the way of change as their rewards
will be carried over to Vegas Red and the same tracking references
will apply.
To ensure a smooth transition, visitors clicking on Hammers Casino.com
will be automatically routed to Vegas Red. 24 hour Support teams will
be available to deal with any enquiries or problems.
InfoPowa sources said that the deal between Imperial E and West Ham just
didn't deliver the right numbers from the football fan side despite a concerted
marketing effort. There is apparently an element of sports/football fans
being more sports betting oriented and that may have had an influence too.
The football club started doing a little better on the field in the
months following the initial deal, so that may have made for a more demanding
partner, too. |
