Centrebet Affiliates Rogued at AGD - Gambling Affiliate Place: Programs and Webmasters Forum

kwblue · #1 07-03-2009, 03:19 PM

Centrebet recently added new terms (and updated some) which now allow them to steal your commissions if you are a current affiliate... They are not good for new affiliates or for current affiliates, they are only good for Centrebet's bottom line

These terms are retroactive, as defined in the current T&C set (no defined start date for new term implementation).

Forget about the contract you signed with them at this point

We hope to get a response from Centrebet, but our original contact (with whom we drafted their affiliate-friendly version some time ago) is no longer with them.

Please read the following terms alert:

Thank you Andy for being on top of these issues with all the programs out there that we affiliates have to deal with. If not for you, are business would be that much harder to work in.

Ah, look a minimum player term. Ho hum. I've actually never managed to send them any players and have tried them on some of my sports sites a few times (even over the huge Xmas and New Year Premier League football period) and they just don't convert. So it's no loss for me to say 'bye, bye CentreBet'.

Hi Guys,

I work closely with Centrebet to manage their affiliate program. I just noticed this post.

For those of you who have not followed the dialogue that went on in the other forums, Centrebet released these terms as a knee-jerk reaction to a huge fraud ring that was discovered to be damaging the program's profitability. The terms, which Centrebet later admitted were poorly worded, were meant to help remove fraud and never meant to apply to the majority of affiliates. However, due to the outcry, Centrebet worked closely with AGD to bring out a set of terms that was much more affiliate friendly. These new terms have been put into place. There are now absolutely no quotas, and no vague terms under which negative rollover could be applied (these were the two issues that caused the complaint).

I'm a bit surprised to see that Affiliate Guard Dog has not been by to update this post, but if you stop by CentrebetAffiliates, you can have a look at our T&Cs yourself, and if you have any further issues, I encourage you to post them here.

Or, if you prefer, feel free to PM me to discuss further.

Cheers

Louis,

Thank you for stopping in and informing us of these changes. I will stop by AGD today and see whats up and make the necessary changes.

Great job on the changes that you speak of and it will speak volumes to any old or new affiliates that research your programs.

cheers
Pat

Thanks for the update, Louis. That's good to know. I've struggled to convert CentreBet in the past, but have a new 1x2 odds comparison site that will be launched next week and will feature CentreBet as a consequence of your post. I wanted to include them as they target different markets from the usual UK/Euro centric bookies and now I'm comfortable doing so.
