What does this mean for sportingbet affiliates? Will they merger?

Still keen to know if they will stay as seperate entities, or whether William Hill will merge them together. Would be a shame really, as Sportingbet aren't a bad little bookie from an affiliate perspective

I agree with that, dropped William Hill right down my site and if this month carries on they'll be off my homepage from next month. I had a little moan at the weekend about income access but it is light years ahead of the crap affiliates united program. I'm preying Spotingbet is left alone to continue as it is just like Betfred have done with Tote, not holding my breath though

Sportingbet ---> Too bad the rules changed ... run away. Registered players and only two years gives you a commission. And I do not why the miracles recorded commission. Without any warning. Gave only 20% commission, and now, just two years ...

Only rewards for 24 months and then steals your players. Probably the worst affiliate program from an affiliate perspective.
