Friends like Neteller, who needs cold sores and warts? - Gambling Affiliate Place: Programs and Webmasters Forum

I am amazed nobody ever made a fuss about Neteller sending out offers to players with an added 5% bonus on the deal from their pocket, attached to whatever lucrative deal the casino had given them to offer.

Unfair playing field is the least of my complaints although I think its agreeable that is in itself a pretty big issue.

What NETeller did was in effect move all those players who participated, around from gambling under a circumstance which was accomplished in fair manner, that being either all profit to the casino, or all profit to the casino and 1/3 (or 1/4) which went to the affiliate whom legitimately acquired the player, to a situation where NETeller now enjoys 1/3 (because they will auto-shoot up to the 35% earnings level, having stole that many players), and those whom they stole from left with either nothing or left attached to a partner whom must really suck to have as a partner, especially if you thought about cheating them.

Because these places will ensure they get ALL the money they have coming to them and yet have proven by their first action of becoming an affiliate, that they have no qualms about selling out their partners or business associates.

Having an entity as big as NETeller as a partner under the circumstances which would exist would suck so huge! they could literally dictate to you how you ran your business, having their finger on the trigger with so many ready, available and very willing replacements just chewing at the bit for the opportunity to step up and take your place if you didn't go along with the plan.

That is just deviously evil what NETeller has done IMHO.

That said, to whom do I lodge my complaint? The casino were just as greatly shafted (if not more, they're now paying OUT 35% on accounts which were acquired thru the trade of accounts which went to other casinos that they were making either the same meaning the player had an aff tag on them) or they traded an account which they had acquired legitimately and were making 100% of the profit.

All NETeller did was reach into our combined goodies jar, and take away accounts which had already had the hard work done. Geez the more I write about it madder I get.

It is hard telling how much we all lost or probably continue to lose, by these ewallets becoming our competitors.

That's just so freakin' wrong!

I already posted about the unfair competition from all slots ! at gpwa with a blogpost on neteller...............at that moment I gave up trust in Brightshare and removed a lot of links and banners.

I got an email from neteller with the link to the blogpost.

I guess nobody else cared about this and Brightshare got away with this easily.

Interesting and disturbing. Neteller are regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the UK - I've no idea whether promoting and profiting from gambling websites in this way is acceptable under FSA regulation, but I suspect it isn't.

I'll look into this and let you know

Think about that they'd have access to know just who the big rollers were. They could literally dedicate an entire campaign to one or a few and it is unlikely any of us would ever be made aware.

Its no wonder we're all starving.

Ya how would you like to have access to information that not only paints the big player for you, but also gives you every possible contact info, and to top off that big coupla scoops of our finest ice cream we've this little cherry to put on it.

Then after having all that dumped right in your lap, you have access to know every single time and every single dollar amount that is put into the casino.

If I had known that eWallets could get away with this kind of behavior I would have opened one.

everybody at the gpwa seems to be okay with MB and NT having affiliate accounts and sending email offers to the players. *by everybody I mean the majority of posters at the time of this writing.

I guess this shows how different people view things from different perspectives because I am totally floored that nobody was upset about this.

..................

Rick I finally went and posted. Sorry I let it slip past me before now.

At first glance, this sure sounds like some pretty nasty collusion for sure.
