And there was me thinking i had a unique idea, great minds think alike or is it fools seldom differ

seriously though i admire you for having the gonads to do it, i see many people talking about it but not many actually trying to do anything about it,

i dont know much about the owners of GPWA but i would have thought that before giving out there seal of approval which get displayed over members sites they would be more strict over what casino's affiliates were allowed to promote, otherwise whats the point in having it, you may as well put a picture of a panda on your site, it just lessens the importance of it,
unlike here you know when
CM gives out his awards and seals of aproval to casino's you know they mean something,

and how much you have to learn, im starting to see <> div >/# im my dreams,
i only applied to the web masters section as you need to be a member to post, thats why it shows me being a webmaster,

thats a good idea, it would probably be impossible to try and list all the rogues with all the affiliates that promote them,

Indeed performing a search on 'Gambling Wages' ( The affiliate program behind these great virtual casinos  ) shows several prominent affiliate portals recommending them.
These webmasters who run and own these portals are fully aware of the reputation the Virtual Casino Group has, yet it seems they are turning a blind eye. I wouldn't class the webmasters of the portals as weekend warriors either. As far as I know, they do this for a living. They really should know better.

i was as suprised as you, especially as they were the featured affiliate at gpwa a few weeks ago, there are probably alot more out there,
the only way to stop these people is to do something that hurts there google ranking as pina said or bring down there reputation a notch so it gets to the point when they think twice about what programmes they promote.
i bet if they start losing money because there sites were getting blacklisted for promoting rogues, then they would be removed in a shot,
