Or maybe they're trying to go out with a bang?
I remember when Battlefield went down. It was not because of the room, but because player deposits were held on Tusk's trust fund. The bad thing with this is not only that players' money are given to a 3rd party, but also because they do not store that money - they use it for investments, etc.
I figure that probably Eurolinx (and other MicroGaming skins) player deposits are held on trust funds, then the money is invested somewhere, but due to the recent 'financial crisis' they (the trust fund) might have LOST our (Eurolinx's) money.
So now they are bankrupt! The only good thing I stil see, is that a poker room is not a very expensive business to keep - they are going to wait untill players rake up some cash for our withdrawals and then pay them out. I figure that Eurolinx is broke, but they do not want to go down. That is what these reload bonuses are for - to attract players and generate rake, so that the business could be up and running again. Unfortunately, many players are running away from a crippled site, leaving it with less and less rake generated.
I still haven't cleared my bonus on Eurolinx. But when I do, I'm not going to jump into requesting a cash out. Maybe they will give me some opt in bonus to generate more rake for them.. I see no point in requesting a withdrawal and having my money stuck in a limbo.
This is my view on the current situation. Let's hope it all turns out well..
