Couple of years ago 888 had complaints about not stopping affiliates that did some scraping from other sites.
In my opinion this was a deliberate act by some interested parties and they did not deserve all that hassle.
They did not do anything worse or better than others!
We’ve been working with them for 6 years now, we had our ups and downs and they always supported us, we never had payments problems and they have one of the best customer retention system in the business.
