This has probably been discussed before but I am new here. My question is if in your experience as affiliates its considered standard practice to shaft affiliates when one brand aquires another?
I would say 50/50 on that, some good programs have stepped up to the plate on the mapping over of players and well some just screw ya.
:laughcry: opps wrong thread
I am brainstorming what to do. We currently have 25+ partners with activity of some sort or other. It’s when the big ones that we have invested time and resources in sending significant amounts of players (high quality players) do something like this it really hurts our business.
Some of the possible options that I’ve come up with are:
1. Only work with sites that have large scale operations with several different products in their portfolio and are at less risk of being aquired such as William Hill, Betfair
2. Require these companies to sign a contract with us stating that in the event of a merger/aquisition scenario they must honor their deal with us or make it part of the negotiation.
If you hard-line option 1, What prevents the owners of poker site X to restructure and sell off one of their brands to another company they own and in the process leave out us affiliates once they get sick of paying us?

Victor
