No provider will (or is allowed) to make contractual agreements between them and EA public. Different games have different requirements and qualifications you need to meet to be considered as a ranked provider.

Subject: Re: [cod] Off Topic: Bad Company 2
Is what this person saying true?
"To become an EA trusted partner:
EA requires you to give them 640 slots on 10 servers and you have to
sign a contract to serve them for 1 year. You also must give EA full
access to those machines in order to qualify. Also for every 10 servers
you rent out you must provide EA 1 ranked server."

Do the binarines support Linux?
Thanks. :)
