I haven’t tried BrightShare however
… years ago VegasUSA used to be very volatile for me in earnings
and not very reliable and at one point dropped to nil … I haven’t promoted then since.:rolleyes:
I applied with them this last weekend and they turned my application down. Said something about being too busy to review my site and they hope to be able to get back with me in a few months.
Weird. Wasn’t quite sure how to take that; I’ve seldom gotten a rejection when I applied for an affiliate program.
I work with them Silvia what would you like to know?
Generally they get good reviews from most webmasters.
They have rejected me twice.
And a few others I asked said the same thing so it’s not just you
Wonder why we were rejected?
I really like their Slots site.
I just figured they are actually doing it the smart way and not overgrowing themselves like *ahem* fortune*cough*lounge*
did lol
IMHO – Brightshare are EXCELLENT – a top notch MGS program!
LOL And that’s why WE want to be a part of it
But they dont want anymore of us lol
Keep rubbing it in though lol!
Sorry – wasnt trying to rub it in heh – only giving my opinion of the program.
Anyone who has been rejected list your site(s) for review – maybe others can give you some critiques and help you get accepted.
Guys they are selective about newbies. Once you are established for awhile and they see how your sites develop they will accept you or they may even invite you.
I think the rationale is they want to maintain a professional affiliate team and not get burned by brand new affiliates who will promote them via cheap spam lists, garbage pop ups and on poorly designed banner farms that produce no real players anyway.
Over exposure through poor channels does no one any good, so I respect their decision to be selective when approving new affiliates. Just hang in there and try them again in three months.
their production for me has been very lacking in last 4 or 5 months; and I’ve begun taking down their links.
They used to be good about converting although player value was lesser than some places; I attributed that to the bonus offers they ran, stuff like buy 25 get 100.
really outrageous sign bonuses; but player retention absolutely sucks!
If I were you I wouldn’t feel like I’d been left out of fort knox by any means.
Lloyd seems like a nice enough fellow; but their t&c’s leave some to be desired too; like did you know at one time they threatened to withhold earnings to webmasters that didn’t send enough new players per month? And most recently; they threatened to throw us out of the program if we didn’t have all their banners kept up to date to current bonus offers within 5 days the change. That term in the contract was taken out because we all said we’d take down their links; That’s total BS to threaten to stop paying on residual income that has in a sense; already been earned by the fact that we signed them up under good and honorable circumstance; and regardless of what the future brings; should be paid on income earned from those signups.
Now this is not necessarily brightshare; but perhaps Spiral that is behind these tactics; I don’t know and won’t guess.
So don’t lose a lot of sleep over the matter. There are certainly better programs out there.
Hey Ark, what’s your recent experience been like with them?
I know one other webmaster who says she’s doing okay with them; but she is signed directly thru Spiral and not brightshare or paymaster (is he still in biz? you could try signing up thru Adrian’s wing; paymaster; not my cup of tea, but some might like working with them)
Well Captain you were right.
I redesigned my site, changed the format a little,
and changed a few other details here and there
and reapplied…..I just got an email welcoming
me to their program!Yay! lol:o
Brightshare produces well, but their stats reports don’t give enough information to help with marketing.
I’d be happier if they would produce the aff code for their marketing materials on-site, too.
Well, it’s been a month now of excellent exposure and the stats show no players. My impression so far is not good with this program. And their lack of stats is no re-assurance that they track properly. Thanks for the feedback:)

Where have you seen the positive feedback? I don’t see too much of it here. Thank you.
