That’s not acceptable! I understand its hard to leave $3k behind and sure he needs to find a way with them. Anyone can start with a “reliable” program today and in the next two or three years the same program can through out some predatory term, then, so what?
From my personal experience with Bet365 a few years ago, they had the minimum requirements for cash out, and when I asked they said no, even I promoted poker and put some banners around, I left them behind but not hard to do since I had a few hundred to cash out.
I think Affiliate Managers could think better when do they think about such rules. Webmasters promoting niches will never reach the level of traffic that are asking for.
You now, even a small website, with a few visitors a month can land a whale, it happened to me a few times. Or some player which value will be more than 10, 20 or 30 players a month.
I really glad because I never landed a whale at BET365 and I will never will, even if they change their rules I will not promoting them.
So, I think AM should “have a risk” with small affiliates. Nobody knows who will be the next super affiliate tomorrow, or a good affiliate at least.
And good lucky for You with this one. Surely I wish all the best for a good solution for both but I’m not promoting them in my new website for sports in EU.
