Bet365 decided not to pay since 09/2025

[Sherlock]

He did not leak anything. They just told it me as to a first person. Someone has to be first. IIRC some info has to be released on 1st Aug.

Why would they damage their reputation?

It was already discussed above. If they really do it, they will monetize their reputation.

Jesus... so this is the end. What can we do? Is there anything we can do as community? To talked with them, to ask them to not do this aa we promoted them because the "lifetime commission?

I don't want to believe in it…

Me neither brother, is my only source of living. I tried o lot campaign with other bookies, nine of them worked. Have no ideea what to do. I pray not to receive that email, is the nightmare of my life

[thepeter]

If this is a real email, can we ask a compensation based on the XX years revenue generated? If we have 1 million revenue generated, this means that the bookmakers has earned 700,000 from the players we invited..so it will be honest if they don't want to pay anymore to give us proper compensation.

Do you see any community here? You made a new account just to complain about Bet365. Where were you during the past decade? Did you support the narrative that Bet365 were exceptional? No, you did not. You just silently cashed out your invoices.

So the result is that our non-community is probably not cashing out anymore. I am not apologizing Bet365 here; but when they played fair, they got way too little support. From everyone, including this GPWA forum, where they are just one of 20 "platinum" partners along with thieves like pin-up.

Bet365 until now had to had their special rank by everyone and maybe they would think twice to rob us. Nobody (affiliates, GPWA, Bet365) seems to understand how fragile is the game of trust and how it should be played.

Was the email from bet365.com or bet365partners.com ?

[tufty]

I don't understand the reaction from all these 'brand new members' (one person maybe?). If they (well, he) had been in this business for the last decade then they (well, he) would have been shafted over and over and over again by many firms, just like the rest of us. You don't have to be happy about it, but how can anyone with a few years in this business, really be so surprised and so naive?

Hopefully, you have an active affiliate account. They might leave the closing of active affiliate accounts to the new owners. My personal feeling (I hope I'm wrong) is that they will send the termination notices in stages... not all at once, after all...

[universal4]

Thanks, we do need to try and make sure this thread stays mostly on topic.

This is an extremely important topic for many people and we understand how some may or may not be experiencing a bit of shock over the information that has been posted.

Had it not been for the long time members here sharing experiences about what they have personally experienced with their accounts the past few years, especially the last few months, many many more affiliates would not even know nor have the information available to them to prepare.

Interesting take on it, and with any luck you will be correct.

So many pathetic comments..
Why people cant be unhappy after being scammed?

Lots of affiliates bought the idea of bet365's "integrity, honesty, class, long-term approach etc" overall narrative and put their trust and effort to promote them.
Of course it is disturbing to find out that bet365 took a weighted decision to scam everyone involved.

Sell the company for $9bln and run with all the money. Clear profit.

"Continued gesture of goodwill" to pay for extra two months on top of initial gesture of goodwill offer to pay for life is just a slap on the face.
Naive part of me hopes for some kind of settlement payment for thousands of referred players in the last month. However, given the treatment, it appears bet365 doesn't really know the meaning of the word "goodwill". I will not be surprised when I see negative numbers when I log in on 30 September 2025.

Thanks for the memories.

I totally agree with you - some of us invested for the long term and risked our savings. The risk was on me, not Bet365; they didn't invest in me and didn't take any risks at all. When you spend money on an advertising campaign and you have partners, it's actually easier and even better, because each participant becomes a cog in the system, making it much stronger. And in the end, they reached the first place - and now they will just wave us all goodbye!

Was the email from bet365.com or bet365partners.com ?

it was in the “messages” section of my account. I didn’t get an email.

my account earns about £1000 per month so it’s quite disappointing. When we stopped traffic they told me via email they would continue to pay the lifetime revenue share. So perhaps there’s a case there but does that even make sense.

pay £xx,xxx to fight for a chance to maybe save a 1k per month account.

they know they won’t get much pushback beyond forum moaning.

i wish this were not true.

what about building a class action among those serious enough to fight back?

[van]

I can’t even log in my account to see if there is a message .

[Sherlock]

They told that by 1st of August I should be able to log to my account and withdraw finally my money. Today I tried to log in, it works. I am also able to generate the invoice. It will be signed today and sent.

So, what they said is likely what they will do (yes, it sounds totally stupid after they breached the most important part of the deal).

[tufty]

I wonder if they will be culling some active affiliate accounts. I sense a veiled threat in one line of a recent global email: This is a reminder regarding the 2025/26 Season proposal. We are still awaiting responses from several of you, and your prompt input is critical to ensure we can maintain our partnership effectively.

[RacingJim]

Yes I sense a ramping up of pressure now on their affiliates.

Basically, getting rid of inactive affiliates was just the start.

[Sherlock]

Getting rid of affiliates they inactivated. FTFY
