Fortune has been one of the best performing groups I promote with excellent player retention. Being on rev share really is not a bad thing, overall most affiliates make a lot more money on rev share in the long run.
I personally do not like CPA deals.
I think as long as the affiliate is trying and not scamming they should be paid. ( I do not know the circumstances here )
This is my opinion on CPA deals.
First you many only get a few players making little deposits. So what, this is your risk. But then you may end up getting that high roller, that is the affiliates risk of loosing rev share from that player which could have made them much more.
If you take away cpa deal due to the fact you do not think you are profiting enough, will you give the option back to the affiliate to change to rev share when they bring in a huge high roller?
