I wouldn't touch them with YOUR barge-pole!Had a call from one of their affiliate managers and things seem promising, would just like to know of other affiliates experiences please?
No, I've heard plenty of horror stories about William Hill if I were you I would stay away. This was in Australia, but that was the only reason I gave them a chance, I've heard affiliates all over the world (well, mainly Europe) complain about WH. There are better affiliate programs out there. Not many any more, I don't think, but I'm cynical and pissed off at how every single affiliate program has treated me, I might just air some dirty laundry and be done with it. A lot of the cheating bastards deserve to go bankrupt. Matt Tripp is at the top of my list. Too much crap, too little sleep. Too many affiliate programs stealing commissions that I've worked hard for years to build.
The corrupt Crown group can't stop bribing people because I guess that's what rich people do. That ends up getting a Packer into trouble temporarily by Bribing Netenyahu and goodness knows how many others. Packer bribes his way out of trouble but thinks this computer shit is too stressfull for me, let me give it back to Tripp so he can fuck up some more innocent peoples lives by stealing their revenue, using bullshit terms and conditions that I fucking bet I could find on a myriad of sites. For fuck sake Youtube had millions of videos that should be classified as illegal but they get a kick back. This fucking business is worse than porn. I wonder what it takes to sell your soul to a Matt Tripp or a James Packer. Mariah Carey probably knows the answer to one of them but Matt? Geez.
William Hill, which was one of, if not my very first Australian bookmaker canned me since 2002 because I wasn't profitable enough for them. Ok, so if I am making 30% of what they are making, and that's not enough, then fucking hell. Something is wrong. How much does it cost for them to send a direct deposit each fucking month. It's not like I ever asked for custom graphics or free tickets to games or anything, fucking hell.
I'm making a company a hundred grand a month and they can me, but not only that, they take all of my affiliates, either place those affiliate accounts into their own tracking code, so instead of me getting $60,000 next time, the affiliate managers will share it or it could possibly go into a "default" account, but with all the stinking greed I've seen in this industry I highly doubt it, unless it goes straight into Matt Tripps affiliate account - "Hey boys, I want to go on a holiday next month, steal say 5 mil worth of affiliate accounts for me will ya's, cheers big ears, thanks matey, you guys are the fucking best dumb cunts I've ever got to work for me - EXCEPTING of course the affiliates" cue raucous laughter from everyone, even the janitor who just got his weekly packet of 20 grand shoved in his pocket.
William Hill gave me virtually no warning before they shut their affiliate program down, instantly taking away anywhere between $1,000 and $10,000 a month on average, sometimes more, sometimes less but it was reasonably stable for a gambling outfit.
They could have seen this for my last few months with them before the shut down. I will then post the last couple of emails between their affiliate manager, who's a good guy and all, as far as I can tell he was the only affiliate manager who worked at anything touched by Tripp that showed some courtesy and understanding and wasn't just trying to fuck me over every chance he got. But I wouldn't trust William Hill at all. Anywhere, ever again. No fucking way, nobody else should either. One more thing before I wrap this up.
DON'T TRUST MATTHEW TRIPP EITHER
Unless you like having your money stolen from you, then getting ignored - most likely at the direction of this fucking asshole.
That includes my last two payments after I was notified of the affiliate program closure on Tue, 07 Aug 2018 - However, that's not the worst of it.

As for August commissions the period will be closed off at the end of the month and all affiliates will be notified so they can start sending through invoices.
Also please remember to remove all William Hill Australia and Centrebet logos, creative and copy from your website as these brands no longer exist.
If you have any questions please let me know.

Then, the final kicker for me.
Hi Wade,
I appreciate the fact that William Hill paid my final invoice.
Will the clients that I referred to William Hill that are merged into the new incarnation of Bet Easy be assigned under an affiliate account that I will receive commissions for, or will the commissions be assigned to an affiliate manager, or will the commissions be forfeited completely?
I appreciate all that you have done for me over the years, you have been a great affiliate manager and I hope you have all the success in the future that you deserve.
Regards,
Hi,
No clients were merged with William Hill tracking unfortunately, commissions were therefore were forfeited with the closure of the program.
All the best for the future.
Cheers
