I can tell you my story how I worked with Gambling Federation. I started working with them in 2002. At that time I promoted them via mailing list, and I brought them my first player, whom I know personally. My commissions from this player were not paid, because GFed told me that this player made a chargeback. But I contacted this player and he told me that he didn’t make a chargeback. Gfed had reacted the following: they didn’t apologize, and their Risk Department had blocked this payment and removed this player from my statistics.(GFed is a unique program which applies this know-how – stats changing – I have never seen such actions in other affiliate programs.) I stopped promoting them via mailing list, but my previous email editions brought GFed several players. And then GFed wrote me and offered me a deal: if I promote them actively, if I place their banners, text links to the best places on my sites, then they will pay me all amounts they owed me, including commissions from the first player, which were blocked by their Risk Department. I didn’t like such work methods, but I had to start promoting their casinos on my sites, and all blocked and unpaid commissions were paid by checks, because Neteller does not work with my country. During 2003-2006 I was very pleased to work with this program, all payments were paid on time, I received all checks via DHL very quickly. I promoted this program very actively and sent them also a lot of sub-affiliates. For this time I had earned more than $100,000 only with Gfed, and I think I was not the worst affiliate who worked with this program.
However, after that in 2007 I had some commissions there, which I haven’t yet received, they have still owing me 2 checks in the amount of $117.38, but they assured me that they would solve this problem and would pay me these commissions. But there was no any payments from them. In 2007 I sent them 10 emails and nobody replied to me.
After they stopped accepting USA players, I had removed all their casino reviews except their text links, and I started promoting casinos that accepted players from USA. In December 2008-January 2009 I found that I had commissions in two different accounts (com123, mick123). My friends told me that GFed stopped sending commissions weekly, and now they send them monthly. In January 2009 I didn’t receive my commissions for December,2008, and in February, 2009 I didn’t receive commissions for both months December,2008 and January,2009. So, for January 2009 and December 2008 they must pay me $7,065.30 from two different accounts. In the middle of February 2009 I didn’t receive any commissions from them, and I sent them an email and asked them when they would process my payments. They replied to me and told me that they sent my request to the accounting. In a week I didn’t receive any reply from the accounting and I sent them again an email and again I didn’t receive any accurate answer. The following day the statistics on both (!!!) my accounts was changed, and all information about my players wagers on the first and second accounts was removed, they again returned to their old work methods, they again changed my stats and removed all information about my players, and hence, they removed my commissions. One week has already passed, and I haven’t yet received any explanation of their actions. As I understand they have decided to not pay me my commissions.
I suppose, their business is very bad that they make such manipulations with statistics. I think, they won’t pay me my commissions, which they removed from both my accounts. If they pay me them I will inform you here. But I don’t hope they will work fairly and within a month I will remove all their casinos from all my sites and will add them to my black list. Many of my friends know about this situation and they are interesting to know the end of this history, because they also work with GFed. But I think they have already drawn a conclusion.
