Big or small affiliate, that player requirement is ridiculous.
And $500 minimum balance for payment is also ridiculous. They probably make nice money off new affiliates who are trying to make a go of it and then give up – leaving $400 behind in their account.
It is also selfdefeating with more productive affiliates since it deprives us of the advertising money we need.
Shame on you running a program like that!
That program is to be avoided at all cost – we should not support such lousy conditions under any circumstances.
