Yep… this kind of rule will make things not only tough but new affiliates will struggle as well.
It happened to me when i was promoting bet365 (they had the minimum 5 players rule), and had close to $1,000 in affiliate earnings from just ONE player…guess what, after some emails with the Affiliate Manager i was told no payouts because that rule. Sure they had that on the T&C’s before but …. So, I delisted (no blacklist) them and i making some money from another program i put in their place. Same with Bookmaker.
From that time i make sure to read the T&C’s before promoting any program.
Now, for programs to reverse contracts on that direction I surely will blacklist them, it’s not fair and think all the folks here at CAP could do the same. A list of those thief sharks should be helpful.
I managing over 600 websites, imagine just blacklisting on all websites, and so CAP members.
By the end, they will see is not worth and maybe try to come back, then, no way baby, trust is hard to recover.
