Even if the offending affiliate is not found to be 100% responsible the Law here would oblige the affiliate to compensate me for 100% of my loss leaving the affiliate to recover the remainder direct from the casino.
A prime example of this wold be the Fortune Lounge situation where no affiliate on planet Earth could claim ignorance.
In this way affiliates would think twice about linking rouge casinos. And no links to rogue casinos would make the world a better place.
I think a test case is on its way.

Have you made a formal complaint to the affiliate?
This would strengthen your case, as it would show the court that the affiliate was made aware of the situation, but chose to ignore it and continue to promote the casino. The court's main interest is probably going to be related to the promotion of a casino by an Australian based affiliate to Australian residents whilst said casino is having serious and long standing problems. You should also get a certified screenshot of the website, showing that the regular promotional programme has not been updated since February, another indication that they may have effectively become insolvent.
Any company that trades whilst insolvent is breaking the law, at least here in the UK.
While it might be seen as unfair just to pick on one affiliate among those who still promote the rogues, any court case will make other affiliates think twice about keeping links to operations that are unable to pay out to winning players.
I rather suspect they are hoping enough deposits will come in until they have enough to pay the withdrawals - this is effectively what "trading while technically insolvent" is. If these new deposits result in net winnings, the casino are in an even deeper hole.
While they may come out of hiding and say it was all a silly mistake, I doubt anyone will believe that given the length of time this "fault" with their CS servers has gone on for.
