I’m sure somewhere in the T&C’s it says they reserve the right to change the formula and pay you less as that is what they have done with the contributed formula and deducting deposit fees even on players not depositing as well as not paying the part of the BBJ they keep. That term would be something I would be more concerned about as it has already been used on multiple occasions.
Like it has been said most contracts will have an inactivity clause. If AP suddenly stopped paying players something would probably hit the fan. I’m sure there are plenty of affiliates out there that sold or retired that still get paid, especially if they were providing rakeback. If they stopped paying rb to certain players because an affiliate retired there would be a massive revolt.
