Digibet Affiliate Account - Shut down of the program?

[SportwettenundCasino]

Yesterday I received a notification that they close my digibet affiliate account on Friday. Quite a short notice. Friends of mine received it as well, so it seems like they are shutting down the program. Does anyone know anything about it?
Another affiliate told me, he has not received his cancellation. He still can login. I have not been able to login for the last four weeks. I also never received an answer to my mails because I also could not withdraw my money.

Are you referring to this program ? http://partner.digibet.com/?

I see, actually never heard of this program, its a shame they gave such short notice.
Are they shutting down the program only or also the brands ?

[SportwettenundCasino]

I think just the program - shaving the affiliates. Worse than bwin

[ocreditor]

Some programs dont care about affiliates, this is a shame, another red sign to affiliates that are working on rev-share.
To this type of program better to avoid sending traffic but if you send already make CPA deals or Hybrid

mine has been closed, too. Can't login since a few days. Waiting for the payments. I hope this will be on 15th

These are criminals. No reply to messages too. We all should warn people from Digibet on our websites.

still no money received.......

affiliate account closed without notice... no replies... so, the next one...

Haven't had an experience like this, doesn't sound fun at all. I hope I can avoid that in the future.

Yes I know how you feel, its hard to avoid these stuff unfortunately ... the best solution is to come to GPWA forum and read a lot and try to see other affiliates
recommendations and request to speak to the affiliate manager over the phone before joining... but still at the end its very hard to avoid it because some programs are so bad their operation must be closed because they are losing money and the affiliates are the first to suffer

my update on this case:
i received a final payment. Although i am angry about the fact they shut down my account without any reason, at least they are paying out the remaing earnings.

My guess is that they are struggling in getting new customers and in keeping existing ones playing on their site. I mean, look at this ridicoulusly poor homepage design. It seems that they are stuck in the late 90ies (i.e. they are working with iframes.....).

My proposal for everybody: stop promoting them asap, they will go down anyways in the long term.

It might be time to add a ''buy out clause'' to all affiliate programs. - If they want to stop the business, their should be a settlement based on the original terms of the contract. For example: 18 months * the affiliates average monthly income over the last year.

In any other business, it's normal to buy-out partners and not just take away their interest!

As it stands, who can trust affiliate programs - when the operator has 100% control!

This is a great idea I must say, why not having this important clause in any T&C ?!

This is of course relevant for Rev-share affiliates only.

The first affiliate program that will add this term will get lots of attention
