  I understand the frustration that many people have with the promotions and surveys.  The DOVE promotion was put on by DOVE.USA which is the US portion of the whole company.  In this case my assumption is that the other DOVE business groups chose not to participate in the project and thus only the US players were granted the balls.  For the record the promotion gave you a free ball every day, I think it lasted for about 30 days, I got about 25 balls.  Since then DOVE promotions seem to pop up once every few days with the same prize, a free ball, not sure how long that promotion works.

  While I feel that it would have been better for all players to be eligible, DOVE,USA obviously feel that they would only fund their target market and you can't blame the other players who got the balls for taking them........we can feel sorry for you guys but we aren't giving up the balls  lol

  Hopefully WGT will encourage their other advertising partners to include all of their members in the future.

  i'm sure if there was a promotion just for the uk our american friends would feel abit miffed about it.

  but you never know next promotion might be just for europe (but i won't hold my breath)

  please WGT make sure that all your patrons benefit. as a sign of goodwill WGT send everybody else a sleeve of balls.

  oh no can't do that can you that would cost you money WGT.

  And that is my point. No worries about this specific promotion, but if all promotions are just geared to the US market then something is not fair for the rest of us. Just share it out a bit and look for some international or regional partners.

  Please.

  for me its simple:

  Dove offers balls to USA players only. Fine. And i won´t buy any Dove products. Period.

   

  What about if Europe and the rest of the world "forgot" about Dove? hum... interresting

  I totally understand what you say here, but. I dont think DOVE broke into wgt servers and started this promotion without wgts approval. So here comes the question. Does wgt do everything to assure same conditions for all players? Obviously not. Period.
