I have to say i feel, as a genaralisation, that MG and Crypto groups I feel relatively safe with – especially Cryptos and the “independent” MGs like 32Red, Roxy and the smaller “groups” like Wagershare, Trident, Adriches and Brightshare.
Of the larger groups, i feel very much that CPS are the best run. I feel safe”ish” with Casino Rewards but I don’t do so well there. I do well at ReferBack but that “retroactive” business with them, Fortune Affiliates and Vegas Partner Lounge last year left me feeling quite uncomfortable – even today. In fact it totally changed the way I promoted casinos to “spread the load” and I’ve become quite wary (hmmmm…”cautious” may be a better word) of any program changes they’ve made since.
I think a large part of it is down to communication. Those who communicate with affiliates well you consequently build relationships with and this helps build trust.
