Because Spiral didn’t have any public aff program at the time, I presume Adrian negotiated a master aff deal with them to try and create his own aff program. However, when Spiral did finally create the public aff program, Paymaster automatically became a Brightshare affiliate, just like the rest of us who already had deals with Spiral.
In short – I am a Brightshare affiliate, just like Adrian is – but he has an agreement to have sub affiliates under his account. He has never been part of Spiral nor ever run the “official” affiliate program. He’s just a smart affiliate.
