Question #3: In your opinion, does the industry rely too much on affiliates?
Reply:Yes. Affiliates do a really good job, but they take all the profits, and often operators pay them more than a player is actually worth, especially if you consider that some companies pay up to €500 for a player. However, I think operators will rely less on affiliates in the future, and we have already seen some companies dropping affiliates completely. The termination of Sky Bet UK’s affiliate programme is one example. There is increased regulatory pressure on affiliates and operators, with regulators saying operators are responsible for what their affiliates are doing. It is a tricky situation, and many operators are not able to check up on thousands of affiliates. We have taken on the challenge of checking all our affiliates, but we don’t have that many.
Question #4: Having been on both sides, how do you think the affiliate-operator relationship will evolve in the future?
Reply: I think all signs point towards licensing of affiliates, and that will result in tough times for affiliates. In many countries there are also cheaper marketing channels such as TV advertising. We have tested this in Sweden, where it turned out to be more cost-effective to run TV commercials than acquiring clients from affiliates.
Much to my shock and amazement, they have paid me early the last 2 months!So...has anyone been paid yet?
VS don't give a rat's about their affiliates...

Having personally raised an issue with Alexander, I can assure everyone he's a #1 A-hole, who seems to promote staff who are happy to lie and cheat players, to make VS money!
"Affiliates do a really good job, but they take all the profits" LOL - most affiliates get 3 cents in the dollar from videoslots !

Shows the love they have for you guys, that 3-5% your getting is going to make them broke!
Because of the insane fees.In fact, we’ve only spent €7 million on marketing since we started operating. That’s not a lot for a company of our size.
Don't get me wrong, they're free to do so, but their priority is SEO, not affiliates.The majority of our new customers still come from Google because the domain is so strong.
