Stupid, with all respect, if every aff manager of every program I have signed up for for any length of time would send me reports about their personal whereabouts I would consider it unbearable spam. You got to be reasonable, I don’t expect my mail to be clogged with such mails.
If I have established a relationship with a program after working with them for some time, they do tend to let me know when they will be gone, and that is good and useful.
Also, not being seen doesn’t relate to being professional imo. I don’t go to conferences to make friends, I go there to cement business relationships and meet managers and operators face to face. I personally like to know just who it is I am dealing with and base decisions on that. It works for me, you might try it sometime.
Rogue affiliates hurt US as much as they do the casinos, T&Cs for affiliates and players get tighter and tighter to prevent fraud all the time. It is in OUR interest to keep the industry as clean as we can.
So, asking direct questions when a fraud case is presented is in no way anti-affiliate. We need to keep our work environment honest if we expect to be treated the same way in return. Sleeze breeds sleeze.
So the way I approach Airual’s issue is by investigating as much of the circumstance as I can. I have no doubt the players were fraudulent, so the question remains how a novice aff gets hit with such a big number of fraudulent players within 10 days. There is defintitely something wrong there. If he is going to continue and end up running a profitable business, that is the point he needs to focus on.
Re. notification of account closure, I already addressed that.
