I agree with Dom on the one casino thing with combined payout groups. I apreciate that a casino can choose to create affiliate agreements how they want and it’s up to us to decide how/if we promote them.
What i do find difficult to take is when they change the terms and apply it retroactively as in the case of VPL and FA. If they can do it once they can do it again. If other casinos can see affiliates will take it on the chin, then they may follow suit. It’s a shame because until now, I’ve always held FA in high regard and had they decided to apply these terms from now, and not retroactively on players already sent, I would respect that and keep them on no problem. hell if they are in trouble i might even have promoted them more to try and protect everyone’s interests.
To this end and after much thought, i have decided to remove ALL F.A and VPL casinos from my sites this week, partially to take a stand and partially in my own best interests of reducing risk. I had to ask myself a question to come to this decision: both programs are way off being my best earners so it won’t hurt me financially, nor will it exactly cause a financial stir at either group. But will i do it with my best-performing groups if they apply similar changes retroactively? I would, hence my decision. And i hope I’m not alone.
Cheers
Simmo!
PS. As a footnote and I hasten to add, not a Fortune Affiliates issue, one of the Fortune Lounge casinos emailed a player yesterday to say that if they Reversed their withdrawal they had just made, they would be entered into a prize draw. Make of that what you will, but irresective of the potential benefit to an affiliate, I found that a very distasteful development (as did the player for that matter).
