Aff networks changing their software – fortfeith your profit

for some reason you will always have the odd affiliate program who thinks they can do whatever they want. Unfort. as most of you know this industry is still far from regulated and as long as it isnt these things will happen. Best thing to do is to blacklist them and whenever they call you to make a deal just say please wait a moment and let them wait for 30 minutes before hanging up :roflmao:

Yet another example of how rotten this business has become.

It’s become impossible to trust affiliate programs.

They seem to think nothing these days of breaching contract.

A contract is a contract.

You can close any contract you like with affiliates, but once you did enter into the contract, you are legally bound by it.

If you want to make a different contract you can do so legally with any new affiliates, or by renegotiating the old contract with old affiliates. But you cannot change it at will after it has been closed. That is the law the world over.

And don’t quote any catch-all clauses that say you can do whatever you want whenever you want – they do not EVER hold up in court and are just something lawyers like to throw in there to discourage lawsuits.

If I sell you a television for $100, and after you receive it you decide you’d rather pay $50 and send me that, I will take you to court for the remainder.

Without strict adherence to contract law there would be no trade possible.

Contract law is cut and dry the world over.

That said, I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. (had to get my small print in there )

Playshare, Roxy and Vegas Affiliates are all in breach of contract. Grand prive just plain stole everyone’s commission permanently.

What have we come to? This is just disgusting! The industry is getting so shady I am wondering if we don’t need a union to defend ourselves.

The civil war on here played right into the crooks’ hands. Before, any programme worth its salt would be wary of upsetting the affiliate community and being blacklisted, hopefully we can build that community up again – starting with everyone removing links to the casino groups mentioned here.

I have an idea…

One of us creates a site… ex. casinostoavoid.com >

1) A group is listed along with all the casinos they manage and the story of why they got blacklisted….

2) Affiliates post a comments about them and get to leave a link back to their site page containing the blacklisted casinos. (free 1 way link ) not to the index page….

3) players searching online would find them and read affiliates comments.

4) there could also be a section for players to comment.

Golden idea…?

I think this would be an excellent idea

Of course, it would need quite a bit of thought and discussion put into it to get it just right, but I think it would be very useful for webmasters

Ideally, it would be endorsed by the major players in the industry, including CAP, GPWA, AGD, CM (the list goes on…) and the owners of these sites could provide quoted endorsements. The more authority the better.

Maybe reputable online casino owners would also endorse the site?

I think the site would need some careful design to give it a professional appearance, rather than appearing as a portal. More like a listed company’s investor relations site appears – facts, evidence, authority.

All webmasters with reviews to any Grand Prive casinos etc., could point their links towards the appropriate page on the site and hopefully they appear high up on the search rankings for key terms when players are looking for the casinos too – in my opinion a casino that cheats webmasters can’t be trusted not to cheat players

I picked it up and am holding it for this… I think it’s a great idea.
