Casino Blasters wrote me yesterday evening and asked that I post this for them as an explanation of their position:
That being said, I’d like to reiterate that there isn’t a single casino affiliate program that can say all of the following:
- -that they have never had a NEGATIVE carryover policy
- -that they have never had a rev share with a tiered system…ever
- -that they have never cheated anyone out of receiving their rightful
earnings (like everyone else working within the current constraints we may have been guilty of a late payment or two, but at the end of the day everyone gets paid)Not only can CasinoBlasters say all of the above, but further to that we can add the following:
- -we have never closed anyone’s account that was owed money or that wanted to work with us
- -we have never called affiliates to give them ultimatums (send more traffic or else)
- -we have always worked with affiliates at whatever level they felt comfortable with
- -we were the only program that did not abandon their affiliates when the US passed the unlawful gaming act
- -through BCP we were the only program that allowed all of our affiliates the opportunity to continue to earn rev from their US traffic
And..
- -we have given unconditional support to CAP,GPWA,CAC, etc. and have exhibited in one way or another at virtually every affiliate conference since 2003
In this context it seems unjust that simply by reserving the right to review dormant accounts after 90 days CasinoBlasters would be considered “predatory.” This is not to say that we don’t understand your concerns; we do. Clearly this is a decision that was not easily made but we have stated clearly that accounts will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
We have stuck steadfastly by our affiliates through good times and bad and have every intention of continuing to do so. The best indicator of future behaviour is past behaviour and if we are to be judged then all we can ask is that it be done within the context outlined above.
