I believe they completely abandoned affiliate marketing and were concentrating on selling white label casinos only.
:flush: Hell I thought they were gone and in the trash are they still around? I would never consider even suggesting my forum members go near that software.

I would be careful – I don’t know this 100% but I heard the people that bought it aren’t the best at paying etc etc – I maybe wrong though so it would be good to hear other’s opinions
I would be very careful as well. I wouldnt promote them for at least six months to see if the remain viable.

Our most sincere apologies for not having been able to get back to you earlier regarding your login details. Please see to PM me and I’ll personally look into this matter myself. Again we regret any inconveniences experienced as a result of this pending and unanswered issue.
Respectfully,
/Kelsang
I can tell you my story how I worked with Gambling Federation. I started working with them in 2002. At that time I promoted them via mailing list, and I brought them my first player, whom I know personally. My commissions from this player were not paid, because GFed told me that this player made a chargeback. But I contacted this player and he told me that he didn’t make a chargeback. Gfed had reacted the following: they didn’t apologize, and their Risk Department had blocked this payment and removed this player from my statistics.(GFed is a unique program which applies this know-how – stats changing – I have never seen such actions in other affiliate programs.) I stopped promoting them via mailing list, but my previous email editions brought GFed several players. And then GFed wrote me and offered me a deal: if I promote them actively, if I place their banners, text links to the best places on my sites, then they will pay me all amounts they owed me, including commissions from the first player, which were blocked by their Risk Department. I didn’t like such work methods, but I had to start promoting their casinos on my sites, and all blocked and unpaid commissions were paid by checks, because Neteller does not work with my country. During 2003-2006 I was very pleased to work with this program, all payments were paid on time, I received all checks via DHL very quickly. I promoted this program very actively and sent them also a lot of sub-affiliates. For this time I had earned more than $100,000 only with Gfed, and I think I was not the worst affiliate who worked with this program.
However, after that in 2007 I had some commissions there, which I haven’t yet received, they have still owing me 2 checks in the amount of $117.38, but they assured me that they would solve this problem and would pay me these commissions. But there was no any payments from them. In 2007 I sent them 10 emails and nobody replied to me.
After they stopped accepting USA players, I had removed all their casino reviews except their text links, and I started promoting casinos that accepted players from USA. In December 2008-January 2009 I found that I had commissions in two different accounts (com123, mick123). My friends told me that GFed stopped sending commissions weekly, and now they send them monthly. In January 2009 I didn’t receive my commissions for December,2008, and in February, 2009 I didn’t receive commissions for both months December,2008 and January,2009. So, for January 2009 and December 2008 they must pay me $7,065.30 from two different accounts. In the middle of February 2009 I didn’t receive any commissions from them, and I sent them an email and asked them when they would process my payments. They replied to me and told me that they sent my request to the accounting. In a week I didn’t receive any reply from the accounting and I sent them again an email and again I didn’t receive any accurate answer. The following day the statistics on both (!!!) my accounts was changed, and all information about my players wagers on the first and second accounts was removed, they again returned to their old work methods, they again changed my stats and removed all information about my players, and hence, they removed my commissions. One week has already passed, and I haven’t yet received any explanation of their actions. As I understand they have decided to not pay me my commissions.
I suppose, their business is very bad that they make such manipulations with statistics. I think, they won’t pay me my commissions, which they removed from both my accounts. If they pay me them I will inform you here. But I don’t hope they will work fairly and within a month I will remove all their casinos from all my sites and will add them to my black list. Many of my friends know about this situation and they are interesting to know the end of this history, because they also work with GFed. But I think they have already drawn a conclusion.
I’ve just received an email from GFed where they refused to pay me commissions. Have you ever heard about “TEST PLAYER” who has been playing for 3 months? GFed told me that they used a player test account to review my links and functionality :roflmao: I was laughing so hard – they even can’t lie and they can’t hide their fraud actions. When I read about “test money”, I didn’t know even what to say, they don’t have any fantasy that explain this situation, even my 10-year daughter better thinks up justifications, when she is guilty. Why do they test my account? and especially my links? is my account so special that to create a test player account from my link and deposit more than $7000, moreover I saw my stats, and I saw how this player played. It wasn’t a test player account. Ok, they explained me why they wouldn’t pay me commissions $3,591.12 from the first account, and they explained me why they wouldn’t pay me my commissions $3,474.18 from the second account, they said to me that a player made a chargeback. The player has been playing in December, January and February and now he has decided to make a chargeback. Very interesting. But in my stats I don’t see this player at all, all information about him was removed by GFed, and I can only see that there is a chargeback totalling $7000.74 in my second account, but I saw that a player deposited more than $7000,74. And now Gfed told me in this email that the player made a chargeback totaling $7,866.00. In my stats I see a chargeback of $7000,74, but they told me that it was a chargeback of $7866.00, that do not to pay me even $1. Their greed and effrontery is inconceivable! Guys, do not work with this program – Gfed (CGTV) are swindlers. I always will write about this situation on GPWA and CAP.
Quote:We hope this email finds you well, as our last 2 email attempts went un-replied to. We apologize for any complications and or set-backs experienced on your end as a result of any pending matters on hand, notably your commission payment related issues.Regarding your affiliate account – Login ID: com123 – USD commissions were actually incorrect, as we were using a player test account to review your links and functionality which mistakenly posted real money deposits and not “test money”. Upon uncovering this mishap, our Accounting department proceeded to swiftly rectify this situation. Concerning your negative EURO commission rollover, this figure is legitimate (€ – 257.59)
Your account – Login ID: mick123 – USD commissions, were significant earnings were generated was adjusted as one of your real money depositing player from the Philippines charged back 150 deposits totaling $7,866.00. In the case of large charge-backs, procedure is such that we need to manually re-adjust the numbers.
At this time, the figures/statistics posting in your earning reports have been adjusted and now reflect your real commission balances across currencies. For both affiliate accounts – Login IDs: com123 & mick123 – since no other sign of commission activity was accounted for either during or directly after – the test account mishap and the charge-back incident – the numbers were reverted to the week before all of the activity of the previously mentioned issues took place.
Since then, you have generated commission, and any outstanding amount owed your way will be settled in a timely manner, should those amounts meet and or exceed the required minimum payment limit for Bank Wire set to $/€ 500.00.
Again we regret any inconveniences endured on your part as a direct consequence of the above matters, and we appreciate your repeated patience with everything. By all means, feel free to contact us back at any moment should you require assistance with anything at all, as we remain at your entire disposition and services at all times.
Please be sure to configure your email account so that our domain (@gamblingfederation.com) is on your “safe sender” list, to receive upcoming news and important announcements. We will only send you emails containing information that is relevant to your affiliate account with us.
Kelsang, why don’t you reply? It’s very interesting to know your thoughts. Alexander had commissions from two different accounts, and you found two reasons that do not pay these commissions. I have never heard about a “test player account”, and this test player had been playing for thee months. And why didn’t you pay December and January commissions on time, there was no any chargebacks in December and January.
Alexander is my very good friend, and I know he says the truth.
