your opinion about affiliate programs

**sgc** · 21 October 2010, 7:18 am

Hi,
We are planning to launch a new site soon and I would like to hear your opinion - who are affiliate programs we should NOT work with

**tomglisting** · 21 October 2010, 8:07 am

Personally.. I suggest not to use these programs: gambling affiliate programs blacklist

**sgc** · 21 October 2010, 8:25 am

Do you have personal experience with them?
Where I can read about why they are blacklisted?

**AWH-Gemma** · 21 October 2010, 8:27 am

I would suggest taking a look here instead as there are detailed reasons why programs are predatory https://www.affiliateguarddog.com/forums/

**sgc** · 21 October 2010, 8:43 am

There are different rogue programs: illa Fortuna Affiliates, Grand Prive Affiliates, Red Hot Affiliates.
But thank you in any case.

Wrong! An office that provided support was raided and some of their employees were arrested. This office does not accept wagers and does not house the servers. It simply provides customer support. Let's not blow this out of proportion. It was apparently a misunderstanding and it's being sorted out.

You, I understand, don't recommend BWin - I read your site. Somebody else?

Like someone else mentioned, check out Affiliate Guard Dog and also check out Casinomeister.

I have a rogue list here:
https://affaid.com/Rogues.html

Also look through the forums here, the worst programs get called out pretty quickly.

**Casinorep** · 26 October 2010, 3:46 pm

What I find over the years is that the biggest factor that make or break an affiliate program is its managers. You can have a program that offers very lucrative commission scales but you will not go far if they don't have a dedicated and service friendly affiliate manager when it comes to payment claims and affiliate issues.

Likewise if a program lacks the high commission scale but employ responsive and helpful affiliate managers then it is worth a shot with them because they will work with you to improve your earnings.

**jctroy440** · 14 November 2010, 4:25 pm

For the most part all of the programs in GPWA are fairly decent. I am sure (and I am no exception) that people tend to migrate towards the programs that give them the warmest fuzzies.

I've had my share of ins and outs. I've had good experiences with so called bad programs and bad experiences with good ones. Everybody has their own perception of how they should be treated by an affiliate.

The best thing is to check out your prospective affiliate programs here, in their personal forum and at AFG and make your own decision.

Telling you that XYZ program is a bad one based on my own experiences is really not fair to that program and only causes distension. The real bad guys usually end up shooting themselves in the foot sooner or later anyway and go away.

**GFPC** · 14 November 2010, 6:03 pm

Some good pointers in this thread. I would suggest your very safe with using a number of sites to verify programs.

Affaid.com is certainly one of them. https://www.affaid.com/Rogues.html
The GAU - https://gamblingaffiliatesunion.org/
The AGD - https://www.affiliateguarddog.com/
Casinomesiter - https://www.casinomeister.com/

My immediate list in which is my own personal opinion would be to aviod,

21Dukes.com - https://www.21dukes.com/

Bewinners (BWIN) - https://www.bewinners.com/
(with this program you an read why here)
Belosers - https://www.belosers.com

Those are the two I personally am spending my time on right now. There are more but these two are my suggestion to avoid.

If you need more your always welcome to email me.

**sgc** · 14 November 2010, 6:42 pm

Hey GFPC,

Thank you for your advice. I will certainly avoid these programs.

**casinobonuseslisting** · 14 November 2010, 9:42 pm

casinomeister.com has a list of all rouged operations and the reason to blacklist them. i always see his list before promoting any casino.

Hi There

Though I am not in a position to tell you who not to work with Betsafe.com have a solid affiliate program with dedicated account managers for all 4 products (Ongame Poker, Paspro Sportsbook and Crypto and Netent Casino Products).

Please do feel free to send me an email [email protected] in order for us to take this discussion further.

I look forward to receiving from you and best of luck with the launch.

This is a good question, Affiliate Guard Dog and GPWA approved programs are generally good ones to go with - as they actively participate in the community and look to mediate when issues do/ can arise.

The key thing - is to always keep open communication with your affiliate manager as they are your first point of contact when you experience a problem.

When getting started - test out a few well known brands, see what converts and how they service your account and then select a handful of companies that are established (been around a while) and who come up based on recomendations from your peers to build a long term partnership with that is based on trust and mutual benefit.

We are always encouraging partners to communicate and request what they need to make their campaigns work. At the end of the day we are here to service you.

The OP asked "Your opinion about affiliate programs".

I don't think it was cool to use this thread to post a plug for your aff program.
It maybe good but doing what you did shows little regard for the OP - which from where I'm sitting spells disrespect.

Cheers
