There is no advantage to the player to play this way (unless they are doing it to try to clear a bonus which is in the T&Cs not allowed). So if the player and affiliate are linked, it is quite obvious that this is affiliate fraud. I don’t want affiliates who are going to purposely try to scam us. An affiliate is supposed to be a partner, not a scammer. Players and affiliates are two separate systems, so seeking affiliate fraud is my job, not the job of the person taking care of player fraud. It’s possible for the RM dept to tell me when a particular bannertag sends a heap of dodgy players, but sometimes it can be an affiliate who sends craploads of traffic and just so happens that a handful of fraud players signed up through his id. So the affiliate is not fraudulent, and I know that, because I have a relationship with them. The RM guys wont know that, so they would close an account for no reason. Thats why aff fraud is the job of the aff manager.[/quote]
I see it the other way – this person is a player, and this is player fraud. The fact that he registered as an aff just gives him something tantamount to rakeback – this person shouldn’t be considered an aff. If this person is blocked as a player, then this person as an aff obviously can’t beat the system – see the point? The root of the problem is with this person’s playing account – not his aff account.
Quote:The issue with playing under your own account is that if you calculate royalties, bonuses, loyalty points, admin, affiliate commission etc and it keeps going round and round, eventually the percentages end up being over 100%.. so the casino is actually then making a loss on the player that is playing under their own affiliate account. This is why most aff groups do not allow it.
Again – there is no difference between a player playing under his own aff account and a nobody which registered through his aff link – the net result is still the same for the casino. But as I said before, I don’t think anyone will argue with the term you implemented because it is perfectly reasonable.
