I haven’t had any dealings with too many rogue merchants to date, as I tend to stick to the main brands. However, I did have some trouble with Mecca Bingo / Rank on their own programme around 18 months to 2 years ago after they suspended my account.
The suspension was due to a change in their T&C’s, requiring the level of my new subscribers to be above a certain level. I did have a nice regular income from the users I had signed up to their program but, going forward, it’s a programme that I would stay away from and be wary of. I don’t think that they’re a CAP certified program, but maybe others could correct me if I’m wrong?
There are plenty of other reliable Bingo operators to choose from in this space, either Rev share or CPA based, so it just means that my main traffic has now gone to alternative merchants.
It can take a while to rebuild the income stream after a “commission for life” type program revokes your status, but the best of my bingo merchants are already CAP certified which does give a level of added reassurance going forward.
Absolutely!
I determined to stay to with CAP approved programs (with rare exceptions) because I know the program will be solid as well as getting great support from CAP. There are plenty of good programs out there but a few lousy crooks brings down the reputation of everyone.
Subverting “commission for life” T&C’s is NEVER acceptable.
Changing terms like requiring a minimum number of players is also primarily the same thing. It is incomprehensibly ignorant.
Here’s another dumb ass email excerpt from ladbrokes “In order to conduct this procedure we would need you to send across your bank details on a company letter headed paper” WTF
