the affiliate program is bad news for small affiliates. The T and C’s are horrific.
I’m not a sportsbook guy but as a heads up, Paddy Power who owns SportsBet.com.au and iASBet.com. Their affiliate programs have introduced retroactively changed T&C’s which are just outright theft on small affiliates.
One small Australian affiliate who joined SportsbetAffiliates.com.au in June 2010, has already felt the sting of these new T&C’s. Both his April and June 2013 commissions (total $400) was confiscated by the new clause 5.2.2. Further more, his iASBet.com affiliate account was terminated.
I’ve added articles to both DOCH and AWAA which maybe of interest to you:

I expect this type of theivery from two bit clip joints. Not Paddy Power, a large global land based and i-gaming Corporation.
Are they’re testing the waters here, aiming to roll similar retroactive changes out globally in the not too distant future!? Some food for thought… If your promoting anything Paddy Power has its greedy fingers in and your a small affiliate, you may find yourself in a similar situation as the above Aussie affiliate.
