Changes to T & C's for affiliate programs I haven't encountered for a long time.
Looks like Brightshare and Roxy Affiliates are the latest programs to introduce some crappy terms to their affiliate programs. There are many reports of Roxy actively closing down affiliate accounts with the reasoning that they are no longer producing new players. So much for life time revenue of an affiliates existing player base.
Brightshare have as of this morning introduced a player quota. Basically if you fail to introduce one new player in a rolling three month period, your earnings on your player base gets reduced to 15%.
Both moves are predatory and also unethical. Especially if as I believe they are in Brightshare's case being applied retroactively.
I work with both programs and have not been effected by these changes ( YET ), but will not hesitate kicking them both off all my sites and group them with Wagershare and the Palace Group as blacklisted and rogue, should they not see the error of their ways.
I also understand these programs are eCOGRA accredited. Well if this is the case, I will be joining the growing crowd who believe eCOGRA is a toothless organisation, with no ones interest but their members at heart, if they stand back and do nothing.
I am also going to be flagging this with Bryan when he returns. Enough is enough. We all have businesses to run and families to look after. When I sign up to a program, I don't expect the goal posts to be moved years down the line.
