Then the cross-channel issue remains a block for me. If Paddy Power have the facility to track cross-channel revenue (which they do) but choose to keep those monies for themselves (which they do) instead of paying it to the affiliate who generated the money in the first place, then I can’t see me promoting them.
Being offered on a case-by-case basis is not the point. It’s the RIGHT and ETHICAL thing to do for ALL affiliates.
