I am with you, BB1. I would like to see them change. I gave Fortune, Vegas Partners and Partnerlogic 6 weeks or so before I blacklisted them. Maybe that was too long since now they are being forgotten because of the Referback mess.
I don’t know whose hairbrained idea these 6 months and 2 deposit rules were, they surely could not have thought that affiliates would go along with it.
I am still chewing on the two deposits – the fact that players can be xmarketed and lead through all the referback properties before they make the second deposit anyplace boggles the mind.
If Referback is so big on choices – give a choice. Let people choose if they want to pay their share of bonuses or if they want to forfeit the first deposit. I don’t like paying for bonuses either because it is just funny money that gets lost anyway – the people who cash them out must be both great players and super lucky with today’s wagering requirements. But – taking away our first payment because you hand out too much funny money – that is totally nuts.
Then the 20% thing kicks in because you can send a dozen players and none count.
Add in that players are removed from our accounts and the site still says “lifetime” all over – really!!! What are you thinking?
So I have blacklisted Fortune, Vegas Partner and Partnerlogic because they remain in breach of contract for some 6 weeks now, which permanently damages the industry.
But I somehow think that RB will see the light before I have to go to that extreme. If not, then they really just don’t want affiliates.
All of these programs are being removed from my site bit by bit. I hope to make good progress with that on the weekend. Once removed, I doubt I will work for them for a percentage ever again. Prepaid flat fees from thereon out for these folks – I’m not taking any chances.
Last chance, guys. Want traffic? Be reasonable.
