It is with great regret that I am posting this today but after being ignored by Ladbrokes for the last few weeks I feel I need to make this public.
I have over 2500 sign ups with bet365 and after weeks of Ladbrokes affiliate managers hounding me I signed up to them (with Jonathan Davis -
- account manager) and posted my first link. I was told I would get ?0 a sign up with 0% of customer winnings so just a flat fee per depositing sign up.
On my first day I got 14 sign ups and had ?50 in referrals so by my math that is 13/14 depositing (Acceptable rate as the offer they had [30?free bets for 10er deposit] was so good I would be surprised if anyone signed up and didn't deposit).
Over the next week I got another 21 sign ups but the ?50 stayed the same so I sent Jonathan an email. He had replied to me within hours every time when I was enquiring about signing up to their affiliate program so I was surprised when it took him a few days to reply to this. He told me that my account was fine and the 21 people probably didn't deposit. I am 100000% sure that is BS for 2 reasons; 1. What are the odds of 13/14 people depositing then the next 21 being 0/21??? and 2. I know of 5 of the people who signed up and I know for a fact they deposited.
For this reason I emailed him back saying I would not promote Ladbrokes again until someone had investigated this further. He replied the next day saying he would get accounts to do this. This was over a week ago and I have not heard from him since.
I have emailed him 7 times since. I have tried to phone him but he is yet to pick up. I have emailed Ladbrokes affiliate email and got no reply.
To add further insult to injury I log in this morning to see the ?50 figure is now ?50. Magically ?00 has disappeared.
Back to Bet365 for me but I will not give up until Ladbrokes fix this.
