I absolutely think you can not shut down an affiliate for sending players who take advantage of the bonuses that are provided by the casino. And I absolutely think you can not shut down an affiliate without notifying them at some point. Granted, a program has every right to do these things, but that is not a reputable program.
I think I am mis-understood. I fully agree with what you’ve said.
so we got that straight.. fair ?
okay.
here is where I disagree
Also, many respected members here have said they get emails weeks later from reputable programs so they let it go, well, this to me means it is NOT a reputable program.
These companies are making millions and milliions of dollars and most are shaving their stats and incompetently dealing with their promoters and we just accept it becuase that is the state of the industry. No way!
well I wish it was like you say…. but just because I say it won’t rain or flood…. doesn’t make it so.
is that a fair comparison? Trust me …. none of us as affs are happy about some tactics of aff programs…. but we pick and choose the better of the lot.
are any of all perfect or what we’d expect or want? seldom.
And i am….. if of most … the pickiest .. look at my sites… you’ll see.
I list so very few programs its a wonder I’m still in biz.
and I think after looking …… you’ll have to agree. I’ve almost pushed myself out of the biz by being so picky.
*Perhaps you may not agree with my choices. …… but i think you can’t argue I have cut back to less than 5% of the choices out there. This done on MY perspective of the industry aff programs and of course .. how they choose to treat players.
** I do admit I have banners still up of programs I’d probably replace …. if i found that banner… I have literally 1000s of pages …. and am backwards …… and give it up to those more advanced than myself … that I can’t make site-wide changes with a blink of an eye.
point I’m getting at is that i have made adjustments….. have tried to support those i thought I were of quality….. and delete those not ……

I guess it comes down to …… to what do you consider quality programs?
I myself… consider the following and none is negotiable.
1. must treat players right ….. at least after I’ve contacted them … because my job is to ensure this for players.
2. they must address problems I contact them about. – that said.. I understand there is a time difference …. they are busy …. and as much as I’d like them to be Mcdonalds and serve right up……. as far as I’m concerned ….. as long as in (a reasonable time line) … they address and make happy my players…. I have no problem.
3. They gotta pay and not cheat me … I run a business dependant upon that and …… frankly…… no getting around it……. I need to be treated fairly and won’t accept bullshit…. even if they achieve the above two.. because in the end ……. I know if they’ll screw me .. they’ll do it to my readers.
4. When there is a problem ……. they do all and everything to make it right.
I guess I can’t add to that …. not off hand anyway.
