Hi,
This is becoming a more common question recently. We’ve updated our T&C’s a few times this year to be more in tune with our affiliates. The reason why we have this is as a safe guard for extreme circumstances of program abuse. The team here agrees that if would be harsh to simply cut-off affiliates for not meeting the minimum goal that we set out. We want to encourage affiliates, not discourage potential affiliates or affiliate who have seasonal traffic or a bad year. The statement is intended for discouraging affiliates who only briefly promote our site for a short period and show no other results ever and expect to be paid month over month year over year for that minimal amount of work they contributed. That’s not what our programs about and it certainly isn’t a win/win situation. We do have several affiliates who even fall close to this category, who are not actively promoting us or who have simply let their site fall to the wasteland as they no longer maintain it and we typically still do not cut these affiliates off either. What we hope for is that they will again regain their interest and start actively promoting us. Perhaps they need a nudge from their affiliate manager to encourage them to be more attentive to their marketing efforts and keep their site(s) updated. In extreme cases usually the affiliate information we have is out dated and we’ll need to look at closing their account. The bottom line is that we do not cut off affiliates just because they haven’t referred a player in a while.
Best regards,
Travis
