Errr... this is the same Betfair that tried to take money, illegally, from people's bank accounts several years ago when they messed a promo up and decided retrospectively it was too generous and then tried to retrieve what they had paid winners. That's why they went in the pit here.
Sky Vegas arbitrarily closed most affiliate accounts down and ripped-off huge sums from them. Usually aff. programmes are closed because the casino closes, moves jurisdictions or some other valid reason as opposed to "We just don't want to pay our contractual commitments".
So there's other aspects to accreditation. Nobody says they are crap casinos for players, because they aren't.
When they were here, the big bookie sites, a large part of the benefit was access to reps. True enough, they don't need CM for player recruitment when they have limitless national media budgets, but they pledged cooperation when joining CM and despite the size of their organizations, couldn't be assed to maintain even a basic point of contact. That says a lot about them as far smaller operations can spare the time and effort - they had no excuse. It was ignorance.
