Div Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Ok everyone. The immediate panic for fundraising is over - we have smashed our target and as a result I have now placed our order for our spangly shiny new dedicated server and we will move to that in the next week or so. I am humbled by the response I received. In 24 hours we raised the following; Casino Affiliate 12 users clicked our affiliate link and deposited $50 in a betting account (one into poker). This has raised $2350 for the website which is astonishing. In "real money" this equates to £1331 B) Paypal Donations We have taken loads of individual donations through paypal. This amounts to a total of £240 ! Cheques I received cheques from Skyline Drifter, Livi Clyde and David W which were all for £20 each. Awesome. And another from Chic Gibson for £20. 11/01 More cheques from HP$, Yogisbairn and Duff man totalling £85 received Thank you all very much !! I also received £20 cash from Paisleybuds (although I suspect Tommy was the donator !) Another £185 raised Total Funds Raised To date we have thus raised; Casino £1331 Paypal £240 Cheques £185 ========== £1756 ========== Web Hosting Our web hosting is $1188 which equates to £671 I have paid half of this up front for the new server and the rest will be paid next week Nett Funds So - this will leave us with nett funds of £1000 less any £28 refunds we process for those who signed up to the affiliate scheme (6 claims made to date). Once I have received our commission from 888.com and completed the move to our new server I will run a few competitions and start giving away some prizes as promised. Again - can I thank each and every one of you who has reacted so quickly to this situation, makes me realise what we have here on P&B ! 888.com P&B Affiliate Scheme The affiliate scheme is now at an end - thanks to everyone who took part !

SPLwankwankwank Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Can I suggest we don't bother with the prizes? Very generous idea of Div but shouldn't the money just be kept for the next time of asking by the server host? I fear they will ask for more the next time...

Very generous idea of Div but shouldn't the money just be kept for the next time of asking by the server host? I fear they will ask for more the next time... I'd agree with that. Costs will be ongoing, so I don't see any need in giving out prizes myself. Having P&B is reward enough in it's self! Still, it's Div's shout - however he sees fit is fine by me.

LordHawHaw Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Whit's going on? can I get paid for posting now, I'm in great demand you know. Is there somewhere a technophobe (nae paythingy) can send a very very small cheque, I'd send cash but £4.83 in coppers means I'd need to use two envelopes for security Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McB Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I'd agree with that. Costs will be ongoing, so I don't see any need in giving out prizes myself. Having P&B is reward enough in it's self! Still, it's Div's shout - however he sees fit is fine by me. Ditto - sticking the surplus cash in the bank so there's already a bit of money there when the web hosting has to be paid for next year seems to me to be a pretty good idea. But given that my contribution came from those nice people at 888.com, I'm not bothered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALL HÚNS 'n' TIMS ARE SCUM Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Give it me! Although I'm up at the moment, I addicted to Caribbean poker. I've stayed away from online casinos, now I'm hooked. This winning streak is going to end - then I'm intercoursed!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very generous idea of Div but shouldn't the money just be kept for the next time of asking by the server host? I fear they will ask for more the next time... In common with everyone else on the thread I agree with that. It's up to you Div but I don't see the point in giving all the excess away as prizes when undoubtedly you're going to be in the same position next year as I presume this is an annual fee they want for the dedicated server. Stick it in a separate account somewhere so you're not tempted to spend it and use it next year to save all the panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Div Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 Yip - not the worst shout in the world - but I would hope that my being a bit innovative I can soon implement my plan that will mean the site is self financing and may even turn a wee profit. There will be prizes - it is what I have promised - and I'm a man of my word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
