Here’s one problem with the BCP T&C’s. I have many friends who advertise very sporadically. They see a big opportunity (which I cannot give an example because they would kill me) where they jump on advertising for one month, spend big big bucks on it, but then the advertising opportunity is gone. They can go months, sometimes more than a year before they see an opportunity like this again. Should this person not get the percentage he was promised for life? This whole issue is absolute nonsense. This is no more than stealing.
I also have had many affiliate programs say to me something to the effect of ‘stop whining, you make enough from our program’. As if I should be grateful that they are allowing me to make money??? Often, these programs do not take into account the fact that large amounts of money, time, and serious and dedicated effort are put into getting these players and we should never be taken for granted or pressured. They should be grateful for us, for ANY player we send them.
As far as BCP being CAP non-certified, I do disagree with that. CAP is a great place to communicate with programs. Perhaps, if a program is not certified there can be a big disclaimer on all their forum pages declaring such statements, however, to shut off all communications is dangerous and what allows situations like these to arise. For instance, Lou (and we all are very grateful for Lou’s role in this industry), should not be the only one talking to BCP about this. They should have a forum where we can discuss this directly with them in a communal fashion. Otherwise the program may feel they can hide in the shadows and do shady things.
