BetAtHome at it again. Rogues.

Dear Affiliate Partner,

we have recognized that your affiliate activities have declined during the last twelve months.

We are contacting you because we really want to reactivate and continue our co-operation, as we are still considering you as an important partner of bet-at-home.com Affiliates!

Nevertheless we have minimum-requirements that need to be fulfilled in order to keep your affiliate account on the current commission-level.

We expect that you as one of our affiliates should at least refer 5 new depositing accounts during the next three months. (observation period will be the 1st of December 2013 until the 28th of February 2014)

If you fulfill this requirement we will keep your commission structure on the current level.

If you are not able to reach this level of 5 new depositing accounts, the percentage rate of the Revenue Share for your account will be reduced to a rate of 5%.

You will always have the chance to return to your former Revenue Share commission-level by delivering 5 new depositing accounts in the next observation period, which will then be the quarter after February 2014 and so on.

If there is a special need for new advertising materials, which will help you increasing your affiliate traffic, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Don't bother working with these rogues - you'll get threatened with rev share changes at the drop of a hat. Surprises me that such a crap brand can think they can afford to be so strict on terms, it's not like they're a leading brand.

Dear BetAtHome, thank you for your threatening email. We've just switched all of your links to auto-redirect to our best advertisers instead, and have removed all of your links from our websites. So, any historical links across the web linking to you under our affiliate tag will now redirect to your top competitors.

Have a nice day.

If you don't do it already, instead of linking your affiliate links direct using the advertiser's URLs, use a server side redirector script to redirect users when they click on a link on your site. Alternatively you can use HTACCESS. This way you can immediately switch over any old rogue links to direct to another, more trustworthy company. If your links have been tweeted or facebooked, or appear elsewhere on the web then you'll still gain some benefit from people clicking on them

With these desperate measures I wouldn't be surprised if these guys are going bankrupt and are making a last ditch attempt to get affiliate traffic. The ship may be sinking!
