GVC never surprise me and neither does Kenny Alexander. It's about time that this guy left.
There is some good news regarding our industry. Despite all of this ongoing drama, our online gaming market continues to keep growing.
A great show from you as usual JT. Always appreciated.
Stay safe.Last edited by Cash Bonus; 24 July 2020 at 4:31 pm.

I met with with GVC representatives regarding Foxy Bingo at a conference, I will never forget their arrogance and disdain for affiliates. They didn't see anything wrong with a program closing wiping out all affiliate referrals and opening up again new. They pointed out many affiliates joined their "new" program so it was a great financial decision on their part.
I certainly hope they get new leadership that changes that mindset.I am here to help if you have any issues with an affiliate program.

GVC are total crooks.
Arrogance is their second name. About that boss left, I read too much and I guess he has to be in a "warmer place".
Bwin is on of the brand they ****** all the affiliates all around the globe.Seven times fall, eight times stand.

The only hope here is that they will go broke, leave the market share to honest folks like bet365 or someone new and that they rot in jail.

Do you know what happened to them being on Activewins? It must have been short lived. Do you know if they ran with players from Activewins too? Originally Posted by Anthony

I remember their head of affiliates (or whatever she was) saying "why should we keep paying affiliates for customers they brought to us years ago". Like as though what they did was the norm. However the saddest part of the whole ordeal was the huge amount of affiliates who ran back to them. Letting GVC know there are plenty of mugs out there to continually abuse.

Amount of people who promote them might be relatively big, but those people are and will be just small fries. It is the same in crypto: millions people trade it, but just a few have significant amounts. The distribution is very uneven. This is why they pay the max 2.5M funy money, which is - I repeat - by order of magnitude less than revenue one of the biggest affiliates from bet365.
