Hi Guys,
Sorry for being quiet here and I hope you do understand and respect the delicate situation this has put us all in. After following the threads in different forums I need to speak.
Over the years I have seen the growth and success of three wonderful affiliate programs starting with Gameday affiliates, then moving over to VIP Profits and then on to 9am.com that was merged into Profits.
It has been a huge juggling act over the past few years and been a lot of fun. We started Gameday affiliates on a shoestring budget and only a handful of affiliates. Now the program built to well over 40,000 affiliates and nearly half of them have received a commission check from us making the program a key to the success of VIP and Nine that I was proud to be part of.
Over the recent months I have been under a considerable stress caused by the passing of the new bill since sportsbooks took most of the hit caused by this bill and the closure of several successful companies within the egaming sector.
I have always worked at VIP and Nine.com in a consultancy role and really as a top tier affiliate rather than just an affiliate manager, and this is why Mario and Marty worked as affiliate managers.
I have spent the last few days working around the clock chatting with different sportsbooks about possible other brands to promote as well as sniffing the state of the industry. I owe it to all the affiliates to help them decide on what brands to promote. I will email all past affiliates of profits with my findings.
You are probably all wondering where does this leave me, and it brings tears to my eyes to inform you that I will no longer be with the brands that I loved and moving on to other projects. I plan to be around in the industry but not on the forefront like I use to be and look more into mainstream projects.
I also no longer have use of any of the VIP.com emails (simon@ etc…), however I can be emailed by contacting [email protected].
Also another project I plan to get off the ground is http://www.oneclubpartners.com which is a UK based online casino, so please take a moment to check this out (finishing touches need to be added to the site).
