Guys,
Sorry for jumping in to this thread so late. I have been out of action for a few days.
The main issue that the affiliate manager has pointed out is the affiliates promoting fraudulent traffic and claiming CPA for that. He doesn’t seem to be that concerned about the flaw in the system and players taking advantage of that.
The solution is simple – to discourage the affiliates from sending the fraud traffic. This can be achieved by incorporating a clause (qualifying criteria) in the terms and conditions of CPA deal.
A new player qualifies as a real money player only when he makes a minimum deposit of $50 and wagers the deposit “X” times.
This way any player who makes a deposit and withdraws immediately and just players with the bonus, doesn’t qualify as a real money player. Therefore the affiliate can’t claim a CPA. Since this arrangement wouldn’t be profitable for the affiliate, he would stop promoting fraud players.
To make the terms more airtight, the Affiliate program can introduce a term like – We retain the right to decline admittance to or cancel continued participation in the CPA program. If we determine that you are abusing the program by referring players who are fraudulent in nature, in such event, we reserve the right to transfer your CPA links to our revenue share model with immediate effect.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Satya
