This is not correct. The owner simply got fed up with the hassle.
There is one way to make this work fairly – do NOT map the affiliates – simply maintain the old program, just make all future players come through the new links.
This way, all affiliates who signed up sub tiers continue to get credited properly. And all new player signups will obviously go through the CR system and thus not affect the old system.
If you have a question about this, feel free to email me. I am no longer going to pursue this publicly – I see a breach of contract and I expect it to be rectified.
I will grant the fact that the new model is more profitable than the old one – so this would positively affect my results – but for earnings over 30K – ie the big boys – it is no more profitable than the old one, and for some of these affiliates the change is going to result in a significant swing in their numbers because you have not correctly mapped the affiliates over.
