Looks like Betano may be struggling to get its license in Brazil. That would be huge as so many big affiliates relied on them
Surprised bet365 have not got a full license yet
Brazil is a very corrupt country, so as you can see from the 15 definitive licenses it's mainly local brands that seem...
Yeah, like the way they use the words "extend the closure date". Who on earth thought those words were a good idea? Complete amateurs.
I think within 888 Holdings there's a lot of infighting between brands. Those responsible for Mr Green seem to have won a reprieve from the upper management...
Mr Green (part of 888 Holdings) has now reversed their decision to close their affiliate program. As if anyone is going to trust this company's brands any more!
https://www.affiliateguarddog.com/community/threads/mr-green-reverses-affiliate-program-closure-decision.20565/
Mr Green have sent out an email saying they're now NOT closing their affiliate program, but who will work with them now that they've done this?
Perhaps William Hill/888 will realise the same, that it was a really bad move to hack off thousands of people and ruin their reputation!
Absolute...
I have heard the story in the OP from 4 different people. However, could be the same story spread around those 4 people, but they're not exactly related people, and those people have heard it from others too
All a bit cryptic, I know! :) But I don't want to drop anyone in it here.
Because the big media buyers but absolute trash traffic from anywhere they can. They pay $0.50 CPMs to really bad African sites and then drive traffic to operators and charge them 10x or 20x more in CPAs or fixed fee. They know they're driving worthless traffic that wouldn't perform on revenue...
Interesting stuff. Funny though how we, as affiliates, just pass this off as same sh1t, different day!
Seems we're all working on the basis of earn $10, get skimmed $3, that's just the deal.
The point is though that these brands would rather get 1000 players at $1 revenue each than 100 players at $30 revenue each. So short sighted. They just go for numbers in the hope that in a year or two they'll still be in a job
Can guarantee that some of the player quality these social guys are...
Exactly. These brands seem to think they can survive in European markets, but in 3-5 years (MAX) they'll be swallowed up and regretting not being innovative back in 2023/24. Kindred did the same, already a dying company, pulled our of the USA, ripped off affiliates, and now seem to think they...
Don't forget 888 too. 888 Holdings is the parent company that owns William Hill. Both have been involved in dodgy practices for two decades and multiple times. Affiliates still go back to them sadly.
For all affiliates that got closed down by William Hill the other day - take a look on X and you'll see all the "big" affiliates still promoting them massively as Cheltenham kicks off today. I've made a nice little habit of reporting all William Hill ad posts and posts by affiliates that...
If anyone is thinking of taking out legal action against William Hill and/or 888 then start making notes of who is still promoting them in the UK. Take screen shots, take URLs, note the pages in the WayBackMachine.
This will help you when it comes to their arguments in court regarding closing...
And note, FootyAccumlulators did VERY well out of Skybet closing everyone else off. Now pretty much exclusively promoting them, having caused the collapse of Skybet affiliate program through faking bet365 bet slips on their Twitter feed at the time, leading Skybet to use the excuse of...
Notably FootyAccumulators, OLBG, FreeSuperTips are all still promoting William Hill tonight. FST even have an exclusive Cheltenham offer. Expect these guys have been briefed on this smash and grab
What would really be a kick in the balls for these guys is for this news to get out to the stock market. Because, if they are selling their UK arm of the business, then a big drop in share price due to a new buyer thinking this part of the business may not be worth as much with zero affiliates...
