I just don’t think a program that ‘gets into bed’ with CPays has enough ethics to make the right decisions.
That is my opinion, though, and may not reflect everyone else’s.
It reflects my opinion.
Cpays is complete and utter trash. They can be flushed down the toilet as far as I’m concerned. They have abused affiliates for years — the only reason we’re hearing less about it now is because (1) they aren’t certified here anymore, (2) many affiliates are finally aware of how bad this group really is, either through personal experience or by reading numerous warnings here and elsewhere, and (3) Playtech pulled out of the U.S., therefore less affiliates are working with Playtech programs.
Good luck B4 — you’re next in line to be screwed by Cpays.
I also wanted to comment about B4’s spamming. In recent weeks B4 has done a bang up job of spamming and shilling every forum they possibly can. Spam here, spam at Casinomeister, spam at Winner Online. “Newbie” conveniently appeared a few weeks ago, and pretty much all he does is defend B4Playing. Hmm… Is this really Itay or some other B4 employee? Hmm…
90% of Itay’s recent posts are useless one-liners that exist only to increase the number of links pointing to B4laying (via the links in his signature). I will give him credit for his lengthy posts about blackhat SEO, but recently the posts have been useless and excessive. I remember coming here a week ago to check the board, and there were like 20 new posts (which was a lot since I had been here only an hour earlier) — all of these new posts were from Itay, all crap posts like “did you get it figured out?” or “I hope it works for you,” — of that general useless nature.
Anyway…
To the new affiliates out there —
CPA is a huge mistake. Someone will always lose with a CPA deal, and chances are, it will be you, the affiliate — not the affiliate program. I can’t stress enough to the new affiliates — take the rev share deals, not the CPA deals. You will make FAR more on rev share than you ever will on CPA. One loyal whale can make you thousands of dollars a month. Compare that to a onetime CPA of $200 or whatever the case may be. Hmm. $200? Or $10,000 over the lifetime of the player? I can’t imagine losing all of that money to the likes of Cpays or some other slimy outfit; it makes me ill to think about it.
If you’re an unethical, greedy affiliate, and if you think that you can refer a bunch of Chinese players to deposit the minimum $50 while you collect a $200 CPA (or whatever it is) — you will be shut down. All of your supposed “earnings” will be confiscated. Then you’ll probably come here and make your very first post to whine about being “ripped off,” possibly in broken English, while the rest of us wait for the affiliate manager to confirm what we suspect — that you’re a fraud, and that you tried to rip off the program.
End ranting. Sorry for the negativity; I just feel really strongly about all of this.
