We have all been new affiliates, but I personally make sure to read the T&C of an aff. program. When a new affiliate today visits the BCP T&C they will read their conditions and decide whether to work with them or not. Most complain that the changes are retroactive and I fail to see how this protects new affiliates?
What I don’t follow is how, as a businessman, you’re saying you’re happy for people that you contract with to change the terms of your contract retroactively without your agreement.
The problem is that unlike business, here only one party seems to be obligated to a contract. For example, the aff program is obligated to pay you for the players you bring but you are obligated to what? And the proposed contract makes BOTH parties obligated, but all of a sudden, it’s a big problem that YOU have to be obligated, as well? Why?
I hope you realize that with these kind of TC that BCP has now and imagine other programs following this trend then not many new affiliates will enter this industry.
Maybey you’ve misread my post, I am advocating tougher contracts by all programs in the industry. Many used to complain how Bodog was “picking” affiliates, but even back then I was in total agreement. And insted of hurting Bodog, on the contrary, it helped them build a great brand for pennies on the dollar. There is a reason the online gambling webmasters are considered a lowlife much to the likeness of porn and meds; and it’s not so much the product we advertise as the way we advertise it.
