TheGooner,
Sorry for shooting off at you, just felt I was getting bombarded and attacked but I do feel you have done your homework.
I have spent a few weeks chatting with BetUS and surprised that they are not paying the players as the forums I have checked (therx etc) have no recent issues of no or slow pay. I will look into them more.
Sportsbook.com is a company that converts well based on their name, and has no prior issues. Betempire is a new company on the block and untested at this stage, but the software is great, and yes I do know the owner here and have some faith in him and his operation.
Bodog do not seem to be on top of things when contacting them by email but does well for me as an affiliate. But because they have no real program website to refer affiliates to, I am not pushing them.
Intertops on the other hand I have no dealings with apart from being an affiliate of which I send players to, and heard of no complaints from them.
