I agree you shouldn’t work with affiliate programs whom you do not trust. I’ve been working with Canaffco (DublinBet) for the last year and a half. I feel that they are great people, and run a very clean program. Every day I see the amounts earned from each player that particular day, and when they registered. Every day I still have players playing that were from more than a year ago.
So, I would find great programs and great people and stick with them.
