I have had similar issues like this in the past. Its a hard thing!!!
The programs want to protect themselves. And at the same time the affiliates want to get paid….
I have often in the past suggested affiliates try HYBRID deals for this reason!!!!
It stands to reason – the first few weeks/month that players will not rake enough to warrant the high cpa they are offered…..
CPA is tricky and will always cause this exact problem. And in the end players, programs, affilaites, operators, and the industry will suffer from this.
I know from the past when we have got players – it takes a couple of months for them to get really active – and maybe this is the case here….
But sometimes its best to negotiate a middle ground!!!! We cant expect the Affiliate programs to pay out huge money while bad trafifc is sent.
While programs cant offer such deals and then renage on them..
This is the reason why any new programs we offer or deal with we do a trial for a couple of months!!!!
This is the exact reason!!!! And this only confirms what i have said all along.
With CPA either the Affiliate loses or the program. 9/10 it will be the affiliate since payments will be stopped.
As affiliates we need to be smart yet honest with the programs!!!
So as a rule – even if we feel we can send whales!!! we never give an exact figure..
I hope this gets worked out folks!! Please try and work it out so both parties benefit!!
Perhaps lower the cpa and add a small rev share to it!!!!
Next time – try and work out a prearranged payment!! to be safe!!!!
If you do this – you will never have this issue again!!
Cheers folks!
