asino Affiliate Programs and the Massive Frauds
Oct 09, 2005

Massive Frauds in the Casino Affiliate Programs!
Later this week we will have a special report on the massive frauds that are taking place with the casino affiliate programs controlled by the crooked organized crime operators. This report is based on extensive research, testings, reporting, complaints, investigations, compiled for the last 8 years. The source of this information comes from game developers, their own directors and officers, their management and accountants, their technical support and sales teams, their marketing companies, their licensees, their affiliates, and also their own players.

The report clearly confirms that none of these casino affiliate programs tracks the real sales properly, and most don't track them at all. We have seen plenty of massive frauds, and figures confirming that 99% or 100% of the sales were not tracked at all, so the poor innocent affiliates got massively cheated and robbed by these thieves.

In addition to the casino licensees running these massive frauds, there are also plenty of marketing companies who run these dishonest casino affiliate programs based on cheating, and defrauding the affiliates. Their entire business models are based on frauds, and nothing else than frauds, and we are certain about this because there is no possible doubt about it.

Thousands of naive affiliates wrongly think that bigger is better, so they signed up with the bigger ones, including many public companies. The fact is that the biggest ones are the worst, and they are only bigger because they cheated and defrauded more affiliates and more players with their fraudulent rigged software.

It is absolutely certain that the game developers are heavily involved with these massive frauds, together with their own licensees with their marketing companies. This is pure and straight organized crime at a massive level.

The smart webmasters and affiliates are dropping these fraudulent scams and insisting on pay per click and pre paid advertising. The others are getting massively cheated, more than they can ever imagine.

Stay tuned and don't miss this special exclusive report, based on inside true and accurate information ..........

Gawd--I'm shocked Claude Levy is still around. This guy is a kook--have a good look at his site and the tabloid stuff he's putting out there. Just because it's in print, doesn't make it true.

A bit of history on Claude--he's a former Crypto licensee who has had it in for Crypto, ever since he lost his license. Since that time, he has been on a mission to smear not only Crypto, but pretty much anything online gambling related.

If I want important and factual news pertaining to the online gambling industry, I would glean far more by reading Better Homes and Gardens.

I would have been unconvinced had he used the word "frauds". But we're talking about "massive frauds" here people.


Just to clarify with this edit, I am being 100% snarky.

Gambling Magazine, like GreedyGirl said, is a mouthpiece for one Claude Levy. His people have no conscience whatsoever - they regularly rip off content from other sites as well, including Got2Bet.

That being said, I would still like to see this "evidence" of massive fraud. And I certainly would like to see who he is targeting before making any further comment. (ie. I also believe there is fraud in the affiliate marketing industry).

I too believe that there is some fraud in this industry - I wish that it wuld be possible to conduct periodic audits. We pretty much depend on the program's word regarding stats.

But this guy is a total cook and has an agenda. I wouldn't put much faith in anything he has to say.

I left this one up because it is so rediculous its funny. Its kind of like when you go to the market and are at the check out stand and read those tabloids that scream out "Bigfoot is sent to Iraq on secret mission to rescue Elvis!"

I've forwarded my url directly to the casinos and was able to check forwarding stats against clickthroughs....I've found Wager Profits to be exactly right. Unfortunately ....Wager Profits was the ONLY COMPANY who was. Is easy enough to find out if you're getting skinned...that is, unless you got your head in the sand ....and you don't want to find out. My compliments to Wager Profits ...they're square.

I have to say that he is probably closer to the truth than most people

would like to acknowledge or admit. To side one's view on the other end of

the spectrum of honesty is just as ridiculous people.
