Its a well known fact that Big Daddy’s Casino runs under the Futurebet/IGS software platform. Many claims from poker site operators claim Futurebet/IGS has ripped them off for huge amounts of money and have not paid players and affiliates.

We here at GFPC were an affiliate for Big Daddy’s Poker and we are also concerned for our own players, and other players all around the world. As an affiliate we also have not been paid by Big Daddy’s Poker.
