I've just received this email.
You have no doubt heard about the new European legislation, which came into force in the UK on May 26th 2008.
We are sorry to have to tell you that due to these new laws, we now have to withdraw the “free syndicate places” we previously offered as part of the “reward” process of the old e-lottery plan.
The previous commission plan had to be updated due to some compliance issues, one of which was the “free syndicate places”. The new e-lottery commission plan has resolved all of the compliance issues, but did not address the question of “free syndicate places”. There is currently some disagreement amongst regulatory authorities and between different countries in the EU as to the application of the new law to free offers. Unfortunately, because we operate our offers and promotions across many EU member countries, we have to take a conservative legal approach. This is why you may see other UK-only operations continuing to use such offers in their programmes while ours have stopped.
Unfortunately, the “free syndicate places” will need to be withdrawn during the first week of the next Business Cycle (in the week starting 7th of July 2008). You can see all your current syndicate places by logging into your Back Office or checking your Membership cards. Any syndicate cards with ‘Free Syndicate’ on them will be removed and will no longer be displayed in your back office.
Your main syndicate places will always be displayed at the up of your Back Office. If you are unsure exactly which places will be affected, please email
admin@vwdmail.com before Monday the 7th of July so that we can assist before these places are removed.
Although this is not “great news” for those members who currently have “free syndicate places”, this legislation has allowed us to improve the commission plan in many other ways. We can report that with the new e-lottery plan it is now very simple to achieve promotion up the plan, thus giving access to deeper levels of commission... And, at the higher levels in the plan there is now “Global Revenue Share”, a new addition to the commission plan which allows qualifying members to earn a commission from the whole of the e-lottery business, not from just those members in their own teams.
If you have any questions about this announcement or any other part of the commission plan, please email Member Support.
