After a few weeks running, I´m unfortunatly not able to find out anything good about the new program:
– They combined the different brands, so if you have a positive balance at one brand and a negative balance at another brand, they will deduct the negative from the positive balance. This will cause huge decreases of our commisions.
– The minimum payout for neteller was increased to the doubled amount, so small affiliates are not able to recieve monthly payments any longer. Maybe Starpartner does not know that smaller affiliates have to pay hosting fees for their sites too…and sometimes during dry months they are in need of every payment, even it is only 25 bucks.
– A lot of the marketing material disappeared..like mailers and reviews.
– The stats are very poor now, no information about the players anymore. I´ve also heard from several affiliates that the stats still do not work correct.
So please, can someone tell me anything good about the new program? Maybe I have overseen something. Your opinions please.
I think the table I put together speaks for itself, players from the phased out casinos seem to vanish. Soon after the merger my # RP declined. I had some good players at Maple……… :
