Hello Paul,
It’s a long story with Michelle, and I would not like to start disclosing it with complete details on this forum, unless it’s necessary.
We do not have problems with affiliates promoting our offers, and getting any kind of players to us. As you said: anything can happen, and you do not know if you will send a bonus hunter to the casino. We take the risk, and we will not blame it on the affiliate. That’s why we have a lot of different offers for our affiliates, because we are ready to handle any kind of situations.
However, it’s different when someone intentionally sends traffic, which will be making only one time deposits (lower than the required CPA rate), and request a commissions’ payment, when it does not really proceed. In another words, we are talking about very typical CPA abuse.
To be truly honest, Paul, this situation probably hurts me more than you. Since I took GamblingWages under my management, I tried to be fair to everyone. I gave exclusive promotions to some affiliates, and in some cases it did not work in a beneficial way for us. Nevertheless, we continued with those promos, believing that it’s better to give it a try and take the risk. Sometimes we receive a lot of bonus abusers from the forum owners, but than it’s already our job to handle those players, and also to make sure it will not affect the affiliate. In conclusion, our staff and I always treat with a lot of respect all of our honest affiliates no matter what kind of traffic we receive from them. However, when it’s not the case and there’s no honesty in between, you feel that the person you’ve been treating extremely nice gives you a hit under the belt.
Anyways, Cirrus Casino resolved the issues on Casinomeister, and it has been removed from the rogue section:
