Affiliate Lounge has stooped to an all new low by installing a retroactive quota in their terms along with stealing of players from affiliates. This is a contract breach, pure and simple, and serves as a huge warning to affiliates – do not trust Affiliate Lounge or their casinos.

TERMS UPDATE, COMMISSIONS, PLAYER REMOVAL FOR DORMANCY

2.1.6. “Referred Player” means any Player, not being a Player previously registered at any of the Participating Sites, who as a result of an independent effort of the Referral Company, (1) has been referred to any of the Participating Sites by the Referral Company, and (2) has properly registered and opened an account with any of the Participating Sites, as may be required by the Betsson Group Company operating the Service, and (3) has been verified and accepted as a Player at any of the Participating Sites, and (4) has fulfilled any qualification conditions as may be prescribed by the Betsson Group Company operating the Service, and (5) has deposited made the first real money deposit into the said account, as determined solely by AL on the basis of information registered on the relevant Participating Site’s or AL’s system, and (6) has not become a Dormant Player. For the avoidance of doubt, once the Player becomes a Dormant Player, he/she permanently ceases to be a Referred Player under this Agreement and no deposits of a Player who has previously become a Dormant Player shall be included in the calculation of the Referral Commission;


TERMS UPDATE, COMMISSIONS, PLAYER REMOVAL FOR DORMANCY

2.1.15. “Dormant Player” shall mean a Player who, after becoming a Referred Player, has not made any real money deposit into his player account with any of the Participating Sites for twelve consecutive months.


TERMS UPDATE, TERMINATION, MINIMUM PLAYER / QUOTA

6.4. AL reserves the right to terminate this Agreement by a notice in writing (an email being sufficient) if the Referral Company does not actively promote the Participating Sites. Not actively promoting the Participating Sites shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. It is up to AL, in its sole discretion to determine whether the Participating Sites are actively promoted by the Referral Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the Referral Company shall be deemed to be ‘not actively promoting’ the Participating Sites if the Referral Company fails to get at least 5 new Referred Players within in any three consecutive months’ period.

6.5. In the event of Upon termination of this Agreement without any fault or breach on the part of the Referral Company, The Referral Company shall have the right to continue to receive a Referral Commission, as stated in clause 5, for the period of six months after the date of termination with respect to Referred Players who continue to utilize the Service during four months after the date of termination. The right of the Referred Company to receive the Referral Commission shall cease upon the termination of this Agreement for any other reason.. If the Referral Company wishes to resume promotion of the Participating Sites, a new agreement will have to be entered into between the Referral Company and AL; and no Referred Player under this Agreement shall be considered as such under any new agreement.

6.6. Referred Players and all Players’ Data shall remain the property of AL at all times.

6.7. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all rights and obligations of each Party under this Agreement will cease upon the termination of this Agreement. This shall not prejudice any right accrued to a Party before such termination.


Summary:This new contract by Affiliate Lounge is complete garbage and is only serving to show affiliates exactly how unscrupulous and immoral they can be by breaching their own written contract. Unless they put ‘Effective Dates’ and make this term non-retroactive, they will be considered a Rogue Affiliate Program.

I think that depends upon how they make that change. It also depends upon their attitude with that change.

If they truly felt that they made a mistake and were not trying to breach their own contract and steal commissions, then I would consider working with them again.

These term changes are unacceptable. We will be featuring it on Perspectives Weekly this week. Hopefully Affiliate Lounge will come to the table and work this out in a timely manner, before too much damage is done to them.
