What do you guys think of FanDuel's affiliate program?

[northwester]

Hi all, I'm looking for feedback on FanDuel's fantasy sport and sportsbook affiliate program. I've read bad reviews about their affiliate program but the articles are a bit dated (they're from 2015). Someone once told me the affiliate manager doesn't get back to inquiries.

Can you please give me your opinion on Fan Duel? Are they worth promoting?

Thanks

From the reviews that I've read, they seem to be okay:

Absolutely annoying posting here some random review that is btw. in contradiction to the experience that was discussed on forum.

Fanduel are thieves to affiliates.

Fanduel are thieves to affiliates.

Can you please elaborate? Were you doing CPA or rev share with them? Thanks.

I was on RS. They first retroactively changed my RS to nearly nothing from solid 4 figures after a test. Then they closed my account for good.

Sherlock, most of the reviews I’ve read about fanduel seem to be okay. I only found a handful that were bad and about partners complaining about them. I’m sorry to hear that they robbed you and closed your account.

That is so fantastic, that I am going cry because of that.

The affiliate business is heavily based on fake reviews. What the majority of people are saying; or worse: what the majority of internet pages are saying is absolutely not-correlated to reality.

I just googled "best affiliate program" and my result is Betsson affiliates. Should I recommend them based on that?

I see you posting and advising to newbies and probably you really think that you are helping. But your responses are really shallow and evidently based on 25 sec Googling. Believe me, you are not helping to anyone. You are just amplifying the problem because you just repeat what someone said somewhere, which might be true or might not be true with the same probability. You are making the white noise stronger and likely you do not even know about it.

If it is possible, do not take this personally. This is what I wanted to write for long time, because - and again, I absolutely do not want to start a flame war and I would like to stay on topic, which is our mutual personal experience with affiliate programs - it is truly painful to watch.

I probably again broke some GPWA rules. I may be wrong, but from the tone from other posters I feel, that they feel the same, so I kind had to spit it out. I also got fewer after the stupid vaccine, so I am out of control and therefore able to say it as exception politely (hopefully).

I also do not have any personal experience with this group.

I have seen both good reports as well as some bad ones, and have had a few GPWA Member friends tell me privately they had some bad experiences.

I have always looked on Fanduels with a bit caution and wonder if the caution level should be elevated above just a bit.

Sorry to hear that. Did they give you a reason?

[Sherlock]

The reason is always the same. I do not recall it exactly. But some bullshit like that they decided to change the terms retroactively and the last nail in coffin was that I do not deliver new players (which I indeed stopped once they robbed me off 99% of money).

Believe me: it is irrelevant which excuse they use when they rob you for "lifetime" revenue share. They always find some. Either they rob you anyhow or not. And Fanduel will rob you as any big corp.

On US market makes sense to work only with non-licensed gambling companies. The rest is - or will be - a disaster. But even this suggestion is useless, we all need our own lesson. Even I was saying to sceptics on this forum that FD and DK are quite good. They were... for a while, until they needed to show nice inflow of players to investors.
