What is this nonsense about closing accounts? Do we or do we not have players for life?
I too have just started earning some money with VA … what I consider to be a hopeful token of what I fully expect to see down the road … have accumulated what I imagine are more than a handful of decent players and now I read this thread.
Sigh. Henry if you’ve got experience in the aff side of business then you sure haven’t shown it here.
Nobody likes to be threatened with losing money they have already earned first of all.
I’m going to help you out. Here’s how your first letter should have went:

Hi Fred,
My name is Henry and I’m the new Affiliate Manager here at Vegas Affiliates.
I’ve checked your affiliate account and found that you have one player that was referred in Feb 2005. It was an encouraging start but things must have fallen off from there because there were never any further players sent and also we cannot find any links to our casinos on your site.
Fred you may have not been aware so I will take this op to do so: we have in our T&Cs where you must at least be linked to us from somewhere on your site at all times or risk having your account closed.
I see an op here for us to both keep that from happening and get that player count up from the lonely number of one all in one fairly easy effort but that will of course need to come from your side of the field. In return I’ll do my part by overlooking the extended period of time that has passed where you didn’t have any links to us and stand ready to be of any kind of help you may need in getting text or banner link codes, or if you can think of anything else I can do to help along the process I would be happy to do so.
Please keep this on the front burner Fred until such time that you’ve satisfied the T&Cs so there won’t be any chance of my having to shut down your account.
I very much look forward to working with you Fred and I believe VA will become a profitable and valuable network to have listed on your sites. I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Henry Ruuskanen
Affiliate Manager
