Last year Grattag was contacted directly regarding an internal audit that the Fortune Affiliates team carried out on his account. It was found and communicated that all commissions owing to him with regards to French players had been paid.
With all due respect FA have been accused of unethical practices conducted on this affiliate’s account. Stating “an internal audit that the Fortune Affiliates team carried out on his account” which the audit has been conducted by the entity this affiliate claims to have been cheated by effectively hold no weight at all. Surely you understand that!

We did suggest at the time that if he was still concerned about payment for revenue generated by his players that he contact eCOGRA for a full audit; this offer still stands.
In so far as a 3’rd party audit and the recommendation eCOGRA conducts such an audit, fact is eCOGRA holds a direct conflict of interest with both FL/FA and for that matter MGS.
This would never be a bonafide 3’rd party audit due to the conflicts of interests held by eCOGRA.
Further more, there is the matter of the Live Chat transcript which clearly show a FL CSR acknowledging that a French player can still wager real money at FL online casinos, even though MGS stated they pulled out of France and stopped accepting bets from French players some time in 2010.

Hi,Here is another proof. One of our players based in France is connected to the Platinum Play casino Friday, January 18. He made a deposit of 100 €uros.
Yet Fortune Affiliates has confirmed that he had closed all the accounts of French players. This is wrong.
Unless this is Dr screen capture, it clearly shows the French version of Platinum Play and a player being permitted to deposit and wager in real money.
As an affiliate we place 100% trust in the programs we partner with. We have no other option BUT to take each and every program on their word that they are not up to any funny business.
However when issues like these arise, affiliates are going to ask questions and they’re going to expect the affiliate program to address these issues respectfully. While I understand it can take a little while to acquire the facts; given the amount of data presented in this thread, when this information has been verified then no stone should be left unturned.
I’ve found through similar issues based on past doubts held toward affiliate programs, it’s the unturned rocks and the lack of evidence presented which fan further fires, when doubt could be easily avoided by addressing all issues raised in an open handed dialogue.
Providing such a short and extremely late address (OP claims 1’st raised on 01-04-2013) but FA does not respond till the 25/03/2013 IMHO hasn’t done you any favours. Just saying 
While I am a long standing FA affiliate and have always believed FA are an ethically driven affiliate program, I also used to trust Wagershare implicitly too. Now that program is black-listed on numerous affiliate forums as are other programs I’d never think in a million years would go bad.
Hence most affiliates are already hyper paranoid. Maybe something you like to consider when and if another issue presents itself on an affiliate forum again.
