Hi Guys
I joined Bet at Home Affiliates about 3 months ago at the beginning they were great they gave us some free bet codes for our competitions and we met Pieter at the Barcelona conference everything was going so well.
As many of you do we test the tracking links before we start promoting on twitter facebook etc, I don't gamble personally so a family member signed up the registration tracked, i thought great, the family member enjoyed the games and became a regular player and still is now, i believe
I raised an invoice with them last month and I received and email from them saying that they were not paying the commission as I cant earn commission on my own deposits, i politely said I don't gamble it was a friend or family with the same surname and i could send them proof of passport as i am 25 years old than the player.
They have ignored me and taken away the commission and then this morning I have received this

I have checked there T&C and cant find anything saying I cant recommend friends and family they quoted the below
a. the affiliate partner sends spam e-mails or the service of bet-at-home.com is applied in any other unauthorised form or
b. the affiliate partner registered as a player or make deposits directly or indirectly to any player account through their tracking links for their own personal use and/or of third parties, or in any other way attempted to artificially increase the commission payable to otherwise defraud the company. Violation of this provision shall be deemed fraud
Obviously very frustrated and cant believe this has actually happened when we promoted them i good faith, Can anyone give me there opinion of this situation, or any advice, or so you think it would be worth reporting or going down the legal route with them
Many Thanks
DT
