An affiliate gets $50 or $20 per player, and that is it. No commission on the life of the player...a fast buck and a license to co-opt other affiliates' players.

And for the players...

Simmo's got it.
It also keeps the player at arms length from the affiliate...What is the affiliate's incentive to arbitrate for the player if the affiliate's already pocketed the sad little $50...the only monies that affiliate will ever see from that player (Except for the concept of common decency. I know, I made a funny.)?

So Felix, as a professional in this business, why on earth would you have thrown your lot in with a company whose very business model is so anti-honest-affiliate friendly and anti-player friendly? Why would you expect to be treated fairly by people like this?
Hello Swampwitch,

I know i've made a mistake but i guess i confuse people with myself. Because i'm an honest person , i couldn't even imagine something like this could happen! I trusted the name, i respected their business idea and wanted to give a shot but things got way out of hand. And believe me it looked very harmless at first
