The GPWA have acknowledged that we are a scumware free group. This means that we are not out there stealing your customers. We are here to work with and for you.

I wasn't around the forums at the time when scumware was an especially high-profile issue and that type of judgement about particular programs occurred, but it may well be true -- it means that they don't allow affiliates to use malicious software that replaces other people's affiliate codes with the affiliate code of the scumware/software producer.

Are there any plans afoot from the GPWA, to drop sponsorship and actually have a proper certified program system in place. Whereby, those affiliate programs which advertise on the GPWA and subsequently have their own forums here, have to meet a specified minimum criteria standard - before being allowed coverage by the GPWA.

Personally I feel this would add weight to the GPWA and would ensure less knowledgable new webmasters entering the industry do not sign up with some of the less reputable affiliate programs.

Just scanning the list of sponsors which the GPWA currently carries, there are several I as a webmaster or indeed a player would not touch with a bargepole.

What a thing.


GPWA SEAL OF APPROVAL PROGRAM
True professional webmasters operate reputable websites.

Dirt programs such as this one should not even be mentioned in a positive light. I am linked to the GPWA and it scares me that I maybe helping innocent players along in playing at these corrupt gambling sites.

I would just be interested to learn how many people here actually link to the Casinos of Silversands & Jackpotcash?
Is there really noone?

Hi all,

TopBoss and I actually caught this group in an all out lie years ago.

I thought (as I'm sure she did) that they had cleaned up their act.

it never ceases to amaze me the short-sightedness of these types of programs.

Yes they save a few dollars now. The long run ... it will cost them dearly.

apparently the saying "can't see the dollar for the dime in front of them"' has not been appreciated though its been proven time and again.

TB: i'm sorry you have found yourself in this situation because you're truly an upstanding person and deserve to be treated so much better than this bunch of scumbags have shown.

Don't lose that integrity. Not all the programs are like this. again I'm sorry you've found yourself so let down by a group that was extremely lucky to have someone like you speak on their behalf.

I would like to do that. But in the meantime, I felt is was really important to identify sponsor programs as really just being sponsor programs rather than being certified. That is all they have ever been here and on other forums insofar as I have been able to tell. There are others out there who list programs as being "certified" simply because they provide funding, and I've absolutely refused to use that label since it is misleading.

However, even without a formal certification program, I still have no interest in having "sponsors" that don't act professionally. The agreement we have with affiliate program sponsors requires that they comply with a code of conduct, which we may revise from time to time, and if they fail to do so then they would be in breach of their sponsorship. If you think a program is not operated in an honorable fashion, then you should document your reasons for feeling so in the affiliate program forum in a sound and rational fashion. That way other webmasters can see what you think and why, and can use that information to decide whether the program deserves their involvement. My only request about such posts is that they be presented in such a way that the program can fix the problem and be seen as doing that, or seen as not fixing the problem and be recognized as not fixing it by other forum participants. So please make such posts in the form of the statement of an issue and a request for a response rather than just in the form of a rant.

Thanks,

Michael

Can anyone let me know which programs are honest and which have been known to cheat its affiliates? It would be a huge help to know which ones to trust and which not to promote?

Thanks guys
