Affiliate websites have become a very useful source of information to bridge the communication between online casinos and players.  When big changes happen in the world of online casinos most players turn affiliates as a consolidated source of Internet gambling news.  Message boards and affiliate programs have been the main communicators of the Microgaming issue.  Microgaming has decided withdraw its services from the United States market.

Now, similar word has reached players about the BelleRock group of online casinos and poker rooms.  Affiliates have received a variety of messages from the BelleRock group about their intended departure from the US market.  Messages have read:
 
“In the short term players will be able to continue placing wagers, however the long term view is to become 100 percent independent of US purchases and play, with our focus being solely on the rest of the world, where we are already getting the majority of our business.”
 
“Please be advised that, with immediate effect ReferBack, representing Belle Rock Entertainment, is withdrawing from the USA and will no longer be representing any casinos or poker rooms in that market,” read a message sent to another affiliate.
 
Then another posted:

“We regret any impact that this decision may have upon you, and would like to reassure you that the decision was not taken lightly. Recent experience has seen the USA becoming less and less profitable as market conditions have become ever tighter, to the point that continued activity in the USA has become decidedly unattractive to ReferBack.  At the same time, ReferBack has seen very substantial growth in other markets around the world, and is therefore able to assist affiliates wanting to re-focus or extend their marketing efforts beyond the USA.”
