It seems some review is in order here. Back in 2011 BigTime Revenue applied for membership here. The brands the wanted to make available to the membership was BigTime Bingo, Online Bingo, Bingo Palace and Bingo Vega. Steven picked up on the fact that there was many outstanding complaints about Bingo Vega on the internet. The other 3 sites had no bad history.
In order to get a GPWA Membership, Steven informed them that they had to clear up any outstanding claims that Bingo Vega had. Bpu had some outstanding issues with Bingo Vega along with Casinomeister's. Steven contacted us both and asked if we would be interested in working with BigTime Revenue in clearing up Bingo Vega's reputation, by settling any unresolved players claims against Vega.
Both Brian and my Staff were happy to work with Steven, because we were convince that Mike Yates, Bingo Vega Owner, aka Floorman, Had seen the light and if he wanted to grow with the industry he had to clean up his act. Under Stevens direction, many of the outstanding complaints against Bingo Vega were resolved. Some were so old that the players involved could no longer be found.
Since all outstanding Bingo Vega complaints were satisfied, BigTime Revenue was allowed membership into the GPWA! Steven imposed the condition that Bingo Vega was to complete a probation period, free of complaints, before it could add Vega to its brands.
Our probation period ended long before It seems some review is in order here. Back in 2011 BigTime Revenue applied for membership here.

Our probation period ended long before Casinomeister's and thank god theirs was still enforced. On Jan 1, 2012 I received concrete proof that Bingo Vega owner Mike Yates was involved in rigging his Bingo and Casino games. I shared all this evidence with Steven and we both worked on this together.
My major concern was I found out that Mike Yates, Bingo Vega Owner had acquired the other BigTime Revunue Brands and since he had a history of cheating at Vega, he could also employ the same tactics at his new sites. Contrary to what BigTime Revenue says about Mike Yates, that him and his family are no longer involved in the day to day operations, my sources tell me differently.
Steven had his own way of dealing with this issue so rather than make waves here I let him see if he could come to a resolution. My feelings and experience told me they would Stonewall him as they do everybody. In the end! Steven went on to better things, but this issue of Bingo Vega's connection to Bigtime Revenue has never been resolved.
If you need more info on this read my previous comments in this thread. I for one have never felt comfortable referring any of my members or guests to any of this groups brands.
