The commission percentage cut if you do no promote is added later, to their benefits.
A clear indication of pure robbery : if you once were a very good affiliate (now you are 65+ and want to enjoy life) and built up a large players base they do not pay you the money owed as stipulated in the contracted before.
They made their point and want to go ahead so : Contract breach = breach of trust = no loyalty = no partnership = do not deserve to get certified = waste of time of us all.
Predatory terms should be mentioned on the first page of the BCP/CB affiliate program site just to protect newbies.
