Hi Jalle,
Yes we all appreciate these open spaces for discussions and affilaite managers at bet365 are keen to participate to any discussion.
Andy has now left bet365 so i am unsure of the follow-up made with nsawins on this at the moment.
Security checks are not made by affiliate managers, but by a team of fraud specialists at all serious operators. I agree however that comunication could be optimized so we tell the affilaites about eventual fraud detected. We'll look into this now.
And we do not "blame" the affiliate in any way for eventual fraudsters which sign up through their affiliate tracker. It's a completely normal procedure to disable such players account. Note that terms and conditions of all operators state that any fraud activity is deducted from the affiliate balance. See below our extract of terms and condiitons
