Marcia,
Hypothetically if any program is accused of cheating affiliates, they will always protest their innocence and take umbrage that someone has accused them of stealing players and commission.
Even with hard factual proof supplied, I’ve witness affiliate programs spew a mountain of Spin Dr excuses in an attempt to weasel out of the mess they’ve created.
NB – This isn’t the first time Jackpot Factory Group has been embroiled in dodgy waters. For the benefit of newbies, they got bust using some pretty unprofessional SEO tactics, like people in wheel-chairs, the disabled and such. Their eCOGRA Seal was stripped. The person responsible so it was claimed, some 3’rd party SEO webmaster if I remember correctly.

It was the catalyst of this total screw up, which led to Lloyd and his solid reputation, dragging this company from the mud and taking over management of the affiliate program.
If hard cold facts wont motivate some people to come clean, then IMHO any program who is cheating, sure as hell ain’t going to raise their hands and say, YEP We Cheated Affiliates. Hence your strong protests are falling in most part on deaf ears.
I don’t know what to think anymore and I certainly don’t know who to trust either.
I don’t buy into the story, Lloyd did this to establish his new affiliates program.
Or any type of ill vendetta against BS sacking him either.
I’ve known Lloyd for over 10 years, and the guy has always treated me well and never lied. Given my personal history I have with him and other affiliates have too, I can’t imagine he’d risk his reputation to come out and start lying now!
Edit: And whoever the head honcho over at BS is now, needs to learn some damn manners. Two emails sent directly to him for assistance and both ignored by him, no response. He forwarded to my AM.
If I wanted my AM to have them, I would have sent them to her. Seems from this treatment, and what Lloyd has says, backs up my impression this guy is a hired hatchet man. And alas, affiliates are just a number on his monitor.
