Sportsbet Australia is owned by Paddy Power and they’ve just confiscated (errr…stolen) an affiliates commission in April and again in June because of their retroactively changed affiliate contracts (player quota’s) on 1’st Feb 2013.
These changes slashed the player quota’s from a minimum of four (4) new depositing players in a rolling 12 months, to a minimum of four (4) NDP in 90 days.
The affiliate in question, joined in 2010 and his agreement , four (4) NDP over a rolling 12 months.
How much did Paddy Power steal, from their Australian SportsBet Affiliate?
A whopping $400AUD.

While the affiliate has told me his sign-ups are down, he like others, has been hit by Google and their alog changes. He’s also recently returned to being a full time affiliate – previously holding down a full-time job to support his family.
He, like myself have tried to contact Sportsbet Affiliates however neither of us has had any success via phone calls or emails.
Shame on you Paddy Power and SportsBet Australia!
NB – It should also be noted, Paddy Power also owns IASBet another Australian sportsbook. And to make this even less fair, Paddy Power closed the affiliates account at IASBet, again due to player quota’s.
