Paddy Power and Betfair closing accounts

**bingoreviews** · 5 June 2020, 12:34 pm

Both closing accounts and lying about the reasons. Got emails from both with a generic list of reason why they are being closed and all a load of rubbish. Hiding behind compliance when they do 3 monthly checks. also saying account are inactive when they are not. Horrible to do this when the Corona virus is playing havoc with so many peoples lives and livehoods. Any thoughts on how we stand up as an industry to all this rogue stuff?

bet365 have been the most admirable and reliable over the years

Use any content you had on them to push other brands, I have done this successfully and generated some very valuable sign ups.

We are also having problems with Paddy Power and a suspended affiliate account.
They haven't emailed me - and are not responding to my emails - it's been nearly a month of trying.

We've been working with them since 2000, our Affiliate ID is 00000071, so we're longstanding with them ...
But I've pulled all banners and am in the process of writing them out of the site.

Awful way to do business. Shame on you Paddy Power.

For them to not reply to any emails is just pathetic and shows guilt in their decision making. At least have the decency to reply.

Shame on them.

I realized what crooks they are long ago, while they just closed and re-opened my affilaite account several times.

While writing to them, I did not receive any normal replies.

I stopped working with them 2 years ago and never regret about my decision.

There are many more programs to promote and who can easily fill their shoes like Bet365 and Mainstreet Affiliates who are worthy of promoting and they don't fail to quickly respond to their valued affiliates and promptly resolve any issues they have. This is what "true partnership" is all about. Anything less, I'd forget it.

Got the email from Betfair too, doesn't surprise me as Paddy done me a while back. I'm just thankful that I'm not frozen out at bet365 and they pay every month without fail! Might be looking to sell my site soon as don't really have time to work on it these days.

Interestingly Flutter (Betfair/Paddypower) have just merged with Stars Group (includes Skybet) so no surprise they view affiliates as disposable. For now its small affiliates, but bigger affiliates should probably be careful and drop the programs or switch to cpa to avoid a nasty shock when they are eventually let go.

Long ago I have cut all these crooks.

Even CPA will not help you out, they just delelte and destroy any affiliate and base they can.

We had many requests to work with them but we always refused to avoid problems.

More inane hoop-jumping requested from the crooked clowns at Paddy Power. Only a matter of time before they do the dirty on another batch of affiliates.

I've quietly been clicking the Paddy Power and Betfair ads on google, nothing stupid, just 1 or 2 times every other day. I'm determined to cost them more than they would have been paying me and I suggest everyone else does the same. I'll be doing the same to any other that starts closing accounts

**cidoncha** · 29 April 2021, 6:34 am

Same there Account suspended for no reason , it's incredible , working since 2001 .

Hmmm this might be an interesting? Some programs are paying a lot for adwords but refuse to pay what they owe affiliates...
