We, at the 888.com Affiliate Program, welcome differing viewpoints and constructive criticism from CAP members. It helps us improve our program – and that means better support for our affiliates.
We welcome affiliates who take the initiative in creating incentives for their players. It’s a win-win deal for all sides. However, all incentives must be approved by the 888.com Affiliate Program staff prior to implementation, with no exceptions. Our policy is crystal-clear on our Affiliate Program FAQ in all languages:
“Q. Can I offer my referrals an incentive for signing up through my site?
A. Yes, the 888.com Affiliate Program allows affiliates to offer an incentive to players who open a New Money Play account through their site. However, this calls for a special approval of the Affiliate Program team, and may require the criteria of a New Real Player to be different than those in the basic Terms and Conditions.
P. ¿Puedo ofrecer incentivos a las personas que remito para que se inscriban a través de mi sitio?
R. Sí, el programa de afiliados de 888.com le posibilita ofrecer incentivos a jugadores para que abran a través de su sitio una cuenta en la modalidad de jugar por dinero. Sin embargo, esto exige una aprobación especial del plantel del programa de afiliados y podría requerir que los criterios para nuevos jugadores por dinero fueran diferentes de los estipulados en los términos y condiciones básicos. “
It is also clarified in the T&C.
In BetGra’s case, I personally checked with Account Manager in charge, and although BetGra did not ask or receive prior approval for his incentive offering, she offered to pay for any Real Players (players who meet certain, widely accepted criteria) coming from that campaign. Until now, none of his players has been able to meet the criteria; but were the players to reach the required level, he would most certainly be paid accordingly.
I hope this clarifies 888.com Affiliate Program’s treatment of this case. I will be happy to discuss any further questions this forum may raise.
All the best!
