How to "fight" with affiliate network (affiliatelounge)?

[joozek]

As you know Affiliatelounge close many accounts because they don't have new depositors.
Ok i don't have new depositors but i have old depositors who deposit to 5000€/month or more. AffiliateLounge close my account and don't want pay from 2014.04. I have VIPplayer account in betsson and sepnt there many money. VIP Player account and joke aff acc. They have LGA license but i don't know is this important for affiliates. Any chance to get earnings? And how? Sorry for english.

I'm sorry, as they have a "minimum activity" term clearly stated in their T&Cs, then basically you are screwed.
I know how this feels - I got dumped by Bet Victor for the same reason, despite making them monthly income from old players.

There are only two ways out of this:
1. Accept it and move on, hard though I know that is.
2. Put all your efforts into promoting their brands and bring in some new players - then they should pay you.

Though they don't have the most "affiliate friendly" terms and I had a few "bumps" along the way, I have been working with them since 2008.
Last year I only brought in 10 - 12 new depositors, so their threshold for "minimum activity" must be pretty low!

If you can't bring them enough new players to keep the account open then use your family or friends (or pay strangers) to open accounts to the minimum number required according to the contract. Don't make it obvious, i.e. make sure they have different names and live in a different place to you.

I know that is against the rules, but when the rules are designed to rob you, you can be excused.

Yikes that's pretty brutal. I agree, find a way to get your new depositor #s up.

But this is why I hate revshare. CPA all day baby!

Affiliate lounge changes the game completely more often than we can expect. There are things that I have missed here, but it’s definitely informative to learn through the tread guys, thanks.

"We do offer a lifetime commission, as long as the affiliate promotes our brands and is be able send us new (depositing) players. Our records show that the last new player you brought was from May 2012. This is not enough to allow you to keep your account open. From the moment your account is closed, you will not be entitled to any commissions."

You have a negotiating chance if you actually have some traffic on websites where you don't list them (affiliate lounge). Then, try to get a hold of someone who makes the actual decisions and make it very clear you won't send them any of the traffic unless they waive that particular term from your account completely. Using leverage like this is the only way to deal with companies that only care about profits, nothing else.

Of course, it's much better to save yourself some trouble and just not work with these kind of companies at all.
