Due to the increased pressure in the marketplace it’s more important to monitor programs then ever before. When cashflow goes down people get scared and will do things they normally wouldnt in better times. The programs don’t always realize that times are tough for affiliates too. Ever penny of income we earn now is critical to keeping our businesses afloat or growing. In that spirit we are going to launch CAP Audits. Here is the basic outline of whats planned.
CAP Audits Plan
First we gather an independant pool of affiliate testers from the CAP member community. These testers will rotate duties monthly.
1. Each month half the pool will be divided into affiliate test portals with the remaining half of the volunteers acting as “players.”
2. “Players” will sign up under the affiliate link of a test portal and deposit a predetermined amount into their cashier.
3. We will ensure all sign ups are tracked.
4. Players will be assigned a specific slots game and began play.
5. We will monitor game play and pay out percentage for that machine.
6. Players will play until their cashier reaches a predefined ammount either positive or negative via a min max table supplied.
7. Players that reach the min level (majority) will make a second deposit into their account.
8. We will verify that the amount lost to reach the min level is properly tracked and cedited.
9. We will verify that the second deposit is tracked and credited properly.
10. Players who reach the max threshold will withdraw their total winnings. (Its theirs to keep)
11. We track the time for payout to be processed and for player to receive funds.
12. We will ensure the correct ammount of withdrawel is tracked and debited against the test portal.
13. At all times players will forward all “bonus offers and promos” from the casino keeping an eye out for invitations to play at a different casino within the brand.
14. When an invitation is received we will analyize the links within to ensure original affiliate is being credited for the player.
15. We will accept the invitation of a pre defined number of casinos and make a deposit.
16. We will ensure tracking and monies deposited are reflected at the orginal test portal account.
17. Through out the process we will have a private discussion area at CAP where testers can interact and discuss their findings.
18. When we have a broad enough sample of data to make error unlikely we will compile the data and generate our findings.
19. Affiliate Programs which show discepencies will be reported to the community via the a new CAP Audit area on the forums and via our newsletter.
20. Affiliate Programs which pass the audit with no discrepencies will be placed in a special Certified Safe” section of the CAP Audit area and appear in our newsletter. They will also recieve a CAP Audited Program seal to display on their sites which will link back to the findings page for their program.
Note:
1. CAP will provide the deposit monies for the audit and serve as the vehicle for distribution of the findings of the independent Audit panel.
2. CAP Volunteer Moderators are elligible to participate. Paid staff and administrators are not.
3. Anyone caught sharing data with a program under test will be kicked out of the program and will be publicly reported on the CAP Forums.
4. One Team Leader will be selected to present the findings. All other members of the team MUST remain confidential.
That’s it in a nutshell. Any suggestions you have about the process or how we can make it better would be greatly appreciated. We can discuss this now through the weekend. Then on Monday I will annouce the plan to general members and we begin rounding up a team and start auditing.
Ok, I’ll go over this this weekend and give any feedback I have. This will be a good thing for us affiliates and I’m glad to see CAP do this!
Excellent!
