    Post List of the worst casino affiliate programes (scammers, thieves, liers)

    Recently, I have noticed that more and more casinos are starting to play unfairly with their partners. This wouldn't be surprising if we were talking about new/fresh projects with shabby licences and no track record whatsoever, but here it's more of a problem with brands with supposedly respectable licences and many years on the market. In view of this situation, I decided to create a topic where you can enter casinos (affiliate programmes) that:

    - cheat on commissions (change the commission structure, add hidden costs, etc.), of course without informing the other party in advance.
    - manipulate statistics (artificially inflating costs, deducting bonuses exaggeratedly, showing fictitious player withdrawals, excluding profitable players through so-called de-tagging, etc.).
    - do not respect the provisions of concluded contracts, unilaterally change the terms of the contract or terminate the contract by introducing new contractual provisions (i.e. introducing the principle that the law is retroactive).
    - They do not pay commissions, delay payments, avoid contact, threaten and blackmail, behave rudely and do not respect the other party.
    - other serious violations of generally prevailing rules in the industry.

    Feel free to post the names of affiliate programmes along with the reason why they should be listed here. Evidence to support the alleged actions is welcome.

    I hope that this will at least help to save our nerves, time and eliminate crooks from the market. Here we go!

    Here I go:


    Comeon Connect Affiliates - they do not respect the provisions of the previously concluded affiliate agreement. Furthermore, they reduce the commission to 10% and threaten to close the account / confiscate the accumulated and future commission.

    https://www.dietistaktuellt.com/forum/comeon-lo...me-260945.html


    Kindred Affiliates (aka Unibet Partners) - same as above. Additionally, they are very uncontactable and do not take their affiliates seriously. Claiming attitude.

    Megarush Affiliates - do not respect the terms of a previously entered into agreement with an affiliate. Also, they confiscate accumulated commission without any explanation. Their managers ignore uncomfortable questions.

    I personally can recommend to avoid 888. Maybe it was just my experience, but it is close to impossible to get in touch with anyone and even when you do - they stop responding as soon as they need to check or do something.

    Might be easier to just list the good ones..


    But let's add Betfair Paddy Power into the mix for poor communications, a pretty ineffectual affiliate management team, and rules that mean when your account is suspended without notice they then don't pay the final month.

    Obviously, Videoslots should be on this list:

    https://www.affiliateguarddog.com/co...iliates.12693/

    There are other countless threads about their rogue business practices with shaving, retroactively changing their T&C, changing agreed-upon deals, stats tampering, etc etc.. Stay away!

    Unfortunately, a very bad trend is emerging, I have seen it with two partner programs as well: Space Win Casino Affiliate Program and Top Traff ( Cashalot Casino) For both, it was strange that there were no depositors, with so many new registrants. So, in both cases, I asked a friend to register through my link and make a deposit. But, as I suspected, the payments didn't show up and I got a terribly weak explanation. It's sad to see that I will have no choice but to test each program with test deposits

    My advice is to stay away from TOP TRAFF and SPACE WIN AFFILIATES

    High Affiliates (Cobra Casino, Premier Casino, Jackpoty Casino, Winawin Casino)

    Very poor approach to partners. Firstly, they don't pay commissions according to their own terms and conditions (constant delays or no payouts). Secondly, making promises and not delivering on them, and then stopping contact with the partner who is courting their dues. I sincerely do not recommend.

    So why do you think this is happening? I was worried USA facing brands would maybe try to cut commisions with the legal state regulated casinos/sportsbooks/poker sites opening, but so far I have not seen any evidence of that happening. I hope it stays that way.

    Feel free to add Betwinner Affiliates - one of the most unprofessional teams I have ever had the pleasure to be dealing with. They never kept their word even though they agreed with our terms prior to listing them. As a result, we are owed some 1,5k USD. Fortunately, we did not push them and only had them live for about two months. We will live but we have obviously blacklisted them. Stay away

    I could be here for a long time if I had to list them all, but 2 old ones that stand out in my mind and 2 programs that also still owe me 2 to 3 years worth of commission they have been making from past players of mine

    EuroPartners - Europa, Casino Tropez and Titanbet

    FocalClick - Omni Casino and Fly Casino

    Oh, and let me not forget the Biggest Affiliate Fraudster - Teodor Martinov

    Buffalo Partners, is another one. Cutting down affiliate commissions to 10%, if you don't bring them any new depositing players.

    hxxps://www.casinorankings.com/affiliate/programs/buffalo-partners/


    Revenue Giants are also rogue. It was alright with them for a while, until they had new staff and then the company, went to the dogs!!

    I was wrong on this one. Yes I had scrambled stats, yes I had no earnings, yes it looked bad!

    But they sorted it

    Default Bluechip Partners is big scammer

    Its like a never ending cycle.

    after already waiting months with excuses at other casinos they all seem to come back with the same answer.

    wait for traffic , waiting for traffic , we have send 30+ depositors to bluechip casino and many of them does decent deposit as in there platform .
    after getting conversion they refused to pay us , they send us long set of question and we answer them all . but they don't pay us yet .

    we have 1650$ earned approved commission as well .

    but does this mean that the accounts team have a right not to pay entirely or delay them without reason?

    i think this is unfair especially when theyre sending my current members emails asking them to take a deposit bonus?
    how can the players expect the casino to pay if its counterpart doesnt pay the people that lead them there in the first place?
    no wonder the entities are completely separate as this kind of behaviour is surely not covered by the MGA?

    bottom line.bluechip owe money and after reading other posts i am so guessing that i/we are not the only ones.

    bluechip partners not pay our hard earned mone

    Dear @elinapio, we asked you questions related to traffic quality: registrations, players' activity, deposits, re-deposits, etc.

    As for the bonuses, how would you know what bonuses were credited to the gaming accounts? Are the players your friends or relatives? Do you have access to their accounts? Unfortunately, making profits on these accounts is a direct rule violation.

    So, your balance was corrected by the Risk&AntiFraud department.


    And here's why the payment was suspended:
    You had a notification that your withdrawals are pending on hold for 7-30 days.
    After the hold period expires, your traffic was re-checked by the Risk&AntiFraud department. The traffic looked unnatural.
    We asked you for screenshots or videos proving your launched campaigns but have yet to get your answer.


    If the screenshots are required to confirm our info, we can provide them.


    We also discussed this and other issues here:
    https://www.affiliateguarddog.com/community/threads/bluechip-partners-not-paid-us.18842/post-127822
    And you didn't give us an answerson this questions.

    Comeon were a decent program, so too was their casino, but then it went pear shaped and never managed to right itself. Slow affiliate payments or missing payments, AM's going MIA, management upheavals, frankly a complete dog's breakfast.
