Actually I don’t think your post is off-topic at all Fergie.
(Referring to: A little off topic.
Don’t you all think that a CPA deal where affiliates are paid, say $150.00 for a $50.00 deposit is just ASKING for it?
The world is full of people who are willing to take advantage of a situation like that.)
If I were running an affiliate program, I would NEVER structure a CPA deal the way most of these CPA deals are structure.
Any time you offer people a bounty of $150 for a player who deposits $50 or even $100, you’re practically screaming, “Take advantage of me.”
Even a program where you received a commission of 100% of the initial deposit would make more sense than this. You could always cap the maximum amount of commission at $200 or $400 or something like that, and you could still subtract commissions for chargebacks.
I posted something similar to this in the private area, but it obviously belongs in the public area where the affiliate managers can read it.
And like I said in the private area, I’m not defending or sticking up for anyone who attempts to defraud anyone else. I’m suggesting a solution that would prevent this sort of thing from happening in the future altogether. I only do rev share deals personally because I think that’s the fairest way to work with an affiliate program. I think a lot of affiliates and affiliate managers agree with me.
As far as posting people’s names in public on a forum for some alleged fraud they’ve committed, I think it’s a bad idea, since there are probably liability issues involved. I think a better idea would be to focus on solutions that would prevent these kinds of things from happening in the future. THAT’s what would help us all make more money.
