There are plenty of reasons not to work with this week's crop of programs, but most of them are player treatment issues so I'm directing readers to this post - viewtopic.php?f=11&p=6780#p6780:

So this week we have one SkillOnNet only aff program, so they go straight to the Blacklist:

http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/



The programs for USoftGaming (you'll all know which adult website runs these by the names alone). Discretionary NCO and have been non-cooperative with our complaint service:

http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/
http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/
http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/

Finally Rio Affiliates. This program has invested a lot of time and work securing a positive relationship with us (a LOT). Their aff terms are broadly positive. Only thing of note is detagging dormant players after 24 months:

TP

First up two programs that represent properties running on the Viral Interactive license:

http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... -partners/ - Only real issue is a gagging clause. So we won't work with them but each affiliate has to decide for themselves whether this represents a serious issue.

http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/ - Same gagging clause and a Minimum Activity Quota.


TP

Next up, the Softswiss group, running on the Direx NV Curacao license and N1 Interactive Ltd license in Malta:

http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/ - Paradise Casino are sealed at ThePOGG.com as we are their ADR and there are no problematic terms. However, with no affiliate contract we cannot recommend them to affiliates.



http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/ - This one lists its ownership as GS Technologies Ltd, the same company as bCasino who have been tied to the Game Tech Group. They represent several Curacao licensed properties on the Direx NV license (Golden Star, Gunsbet, Loki) who have been involved in Spirit of the Bonus confiscations and Bob Casino on the N1 Interactive license who had a host of issues where they were associating gambling with drug use and fairly blatantly encroaching on Bob Marley's estate. Blacklisted.



The following programs all represent casino properties that apply punitive terms to players who self-exclude, so they are immediately Blacklisted:

http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/
http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/
http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/
http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/
http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... rs-casino/




http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/ - No aff terms so Not Recommended.


http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/ - Some problematic player terms and a Minimum Activity Quota. Not Recommended.


Finally the following two have some predatory player terms (dormancy and progressive jackpot withdrawal), but friendly aff terms. Affs need to decide for themselves whether the player terms are a barrier to cooperation:

http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... -partners/
http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/

Next up RR Investment NV - no aff terms so Not Recommended:

http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/
http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/

TP

Next round of aff program reviews:

http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... -partners/ - No issues here. Running as part of the Cherry/ComeOn group.

http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/ - No issues here. Running on the White Hat Gaming license.

Next we have 3 programs representing various properties running on the Topia Solutions NV license. This is just another arm of the Game Tech Group. Games being served by Gamescale, 'Ubiquin' email address and applying matching rogue Responsible Gambling policies. Blacklist to the core:

http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/
http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-program/crazy-affs/
http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/

Next batch. Firstly several properties representing Jumpman Gaming licensed properties:

http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/ - No definition of the management of -ve balances, no Revenue Ladder and appear to be associated with the Rival brand RivieraPlay. Not Recommended.

http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/ - Terms are the standard Jumpman Gaming aff terms but appear to have been translated to another language then translated back to English using Google Translate. This has resulted in a lot of language/wordage that is incorrectly or inaccurately used. Not Recommended.

http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/ - 9 month revenue lifespan, Minimum Activity Quota, no Revenue Ladder and a term stating you have to share your email list with them. Not Recommended.


Moving on we have http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/ - Weak Revenue Ladder, NCO, Minimum Activity Quota, brands that are unresponsive to complaints and branding that appears to simply be hijacking the names of successful slots brands. Not Recommended.


http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/ - Minimum Activity Quota. Not a program we'd recommend, but each affiliate has to decide for themselves if this is a term they're willing to work with.

http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/ - Same as Tipbet. A MAQ so up to the individual affiliate.


http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... ffiliates/ - Non-responsive to complaints. Affiliate program very similar in design to GameBet and Parasino (both Not Recommended). On the same license as 1xBet and Campeon Bet. Not Recommended!!

http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... -partners/ - No defined Revenue Ladder, so make sure you get something in writing first, but otherwise this program seems decent.


TP

Only a couple of new ones this week.

ZeePartners, a new program running a casino on the White Hat Gaming platform. Rev Ladder a little on the low side and NCO - http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... -partners/

Web Partners - a US facer. The Rev Ladder seems on the low side and there is NCO. If you're dealing in US traffic, well, we wouldn't work in this market but this group may be up your street - http://poggwebmasters.com/affiliate-pro ... -partners/
