I can imagine a story like this would need some backing. Thanks!
To be noted – their affilate Manager Stephen Freund is a good guy with an excellent track record.’
Sportingbet screwed all of thier affiliates and did not pay for services rendered for the past several months. They then shut the program and stole all of the player base. Sporting bet owns the Paradise poker affiliate program and poker rooms.
I think this was a solid and deserved decision. I’m sure Stephen is a great guy, but the decision to close the program would not be in his hands.
And don’t forget the closure of Casino Craze and Fast Poker. Also their properties. I never got paid, even though I got a letter that said they would pay up what was owed to that point, the end of that month. After that all earned income was lost and players moved to another casino without being tracked back to us.
With all the casino ownership moves lately, each time the receiving program went through pains to integrate everything so affiliates did not lose.
To Sporting Bet, affiliates are disposable and contracts with affiliates are not worth the bandwidth they occupy.
