Playtika have just announced a change to their Terms and Conditions that reads more like - well we will take your earnings when we feel like it. I have rarely come across a set of terms like this.

This is what they sent for those who don't have an account at the Aff program

This is my response


WoW is all i can say. Talk about anti social from a social games company.


From reading the terms below i take it Playtika are not interested in traffic from smaller/medium sites.


These are possibly the unfriendliest change of Terms and Conditions i have ever come across. Most sites will instantly rogue Playtika for this kind of term.


I would like to know how Playtika think it is fair to take money that is earned by an Affiliate, because that is what it amounts too.


Can you advise how much an Affiliate Account costs to maintain ? It is not as if you developed an Affiliate system. You are simply making use of the 888 Affiliate software from what it looks like.


I will be covering this change of T&C on my sites and for sure bringing it up for discussion on a variety of gambling webmaster forums.


Please cancel my account as i have no wish to even bother logging into a place that will at its discretion take any earnings i might have earned.
Am i wrong in taking this kind of stance ? And i was just about to launch a Social Games page.
