Why do you think when you decide to change your casino names OR changing URL's it is a simple change for affiliates? It takes us days & days to change all banners/links most of us have 20 + sites!!! Hard code your banners/links to change automatic please it makes everyone's life easier! Just Saying..

I hear you Vix,

If I give full exposure to a program, they end up with about 1600 links or banners on many different sites. Many of the programs that are changing links will just lose their exposure on my sites. I've worked with some programs that haven't made affiliates do the changing, they do the redirects from their back end.

Time wise for me lol, it will take me 6 months with all the recent changes.

100% agree with all of the above, don't keep all you Aff eggs in the one basket. If you give one site too much action it may bite you in the Ass; if say they loose there domains like has recently happened to Referback's dot coms aka jackpotcity / riverbelle / kingneptunescasino / luckynugget.
What makes me really mad is that they have known these domain seizures were probably going to happen since 2008; and it was ruled several weeks ago in the USA courts to forfeit the domains. Obviously they "Referback" have planned for this for some time; There new casinos have been open for several weeks (maybe longer not sure) i get this email below that says you got 2 days to do the updates WTF !!!! Well thanks so much for letting me know Referback. They must think we should just drop everything & spend all of our time doing these updates before the links are dead? We could have been doing this for weeks already spread out in a more practical timely manner. This program just don't give a rats when they work like this. I am updating the links in my good time but out with theirs and in with other Aff programs, if it Walks like duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck as they say.

email from Referback dated 29/3 (i love the "trust you are well" bit)

"Trust you are well.

It is of utmost importance (and urgency) that you make these domain name changes WITHIN THE NEXT 2 DAYS! This will ensure that your player acquisitions through these prime brands continue uninterrupted.

I am sure you have heard about domains being seized by the US government

We have added the word casino to the domain name – please change all your tracking links asap as below"

Trust you are well

Probably not because they still use the .com's next change is due in a short time mind my words it will be their next email to change to .eu (2 days notice)

All in due time : replacing not updating thanks for all and bye bye LOSER.

BTW : I think all their links still work but Kentucky is just an excuse not to pay you for the traffic sent.
