    Default Is it true?

    Hi all,
    I just wonder than someone here might be able to answer me.

    I ve been told by 1 of afiliate managers, that the LGA regulations doesnt allow affiliate program to pay afiliate earnings via player account. Is it true?

    Cheers

    I feel affiliate earnings should never be paid into a player account. The programs that do this are lazy cheapskates.

    I do not agree, you may opt to have your earnings deposited into your players account as an affiliate at Affiliate Edge (Club World Casino) and they are a well-trusted group. Right?

    Personally I think it's very unprofessional to pay out business earnings into a gambling account and I tend to steer clear if I can - whether a reputable group or not. Imagine trying to explain that away if you were investigated for tax! Better to pay into a bank account.

    We offer the player account as an option. We find it gives us a little more flexibility with affiliate payments and its generally used for lower earnings and by affiliates in the US who's payment options are a little more restricted and expensive.

    When we built AffiliateEdge, we worked in the Pay to Player account option because we were asked by affiliates if it could be done, our answer was yes but I guess this would differ depending on the program.

    "lazy cheapskates"?

    As i am informed, Dublinbet affiliates have the choice to get paid into a player account too.
    And Dublinbet is a reliable company as well as Dublin Bet casino and not...
    "lazy cheapskates"

    Why?

    It's the free will of the affiliate.
    His players have to lose, but the webmaster must be protected from himself?

    If the webmaster is gambling-addicted, not disciplined or just plain dumb, then it's not the fault of the affiliate company or the casino.

    If a webmaster decide with his free will to take the earnings into a player account and gamble it away, he got what he deserved.

    Or to say it in Ixian words:

    I'm not sure what your motive is by quoting different sections of my various replies to posts out of context. If you are trying to make me look bad you are failing miserably. If you would like to take me on in a particular thread please do so instead of trying to distort matters.

    With regard to your references to me , from various different posts, I do not deal with affiliate companies that only offer payment through a player account, and the reason for that is because I choose to.

    I'm in this business to make money and I will make sure that I protect my revenue at all costs. I do not force visitors to my aff sites to click on my links and gamble at casinos. Some times they win but mostly they lose. That's how I, and other affiliates make money and I am most certainly not ashamed of what I do.

    You should try it some time.

    it's an effective stylistic device to better understand the substance of the complete written text of somebody.

    The chronological events must not be lost sight of: I never wrote any single word in your direction, until you started with insults in my direction because of your hate against Europartners. Until yesterday! This is the simple truth. It's a display of character to stick to what has written or said.

    But i don't want to waste my precious time for that. If you believed, your provocativeness have leaved its mark on me, you're way off. I will disregard you beginning from this moment and take care of users who always (!) bring a decent tone in the discussion.

    I joined a lot of affiliate programs and two of them get my earnings paid on the player account. It was neccesary to create player account before my affiliate account was approved. I dont think it is normal to make me open player account before affiliate account.

    I too usually feel uncomfortable when forced to open a player account when only signing up as an affiliate.

    I think that the affiliate programs should keep these accounts sepearate, although in many cases I do think it is done to give the affiliate the option to move their commissions to their player accounts in the hope they will play it off, so I understand why it is done.

    When the payments are forced through a player account, I often will think twice about joining the program and will do so but I usually move those lower on the list of programs I feel comfortable working with.

    The original post asked whether LGA Regs forbid this. I am not sure what the answer to the original question is, but would actually like to see all regulatory bodies with that policy but doubt that will happen.

    If an affiliate program is not small affiliate friendly (especially small US Affiliate), then they are NOT Affiliate Friendly!

    Some politicians use that excuse to avoid answering a question truthfully and to twist the truth to suit their own agenda.

    I to wish you all the best and hope that you can at some time, in the not to distant future, achieve the status of goldsmith that you write. Shalom.

    I thinks this measure is imposed to increase the number of new players for every betting agency. It's naturally to be their player if you promote their services, to promote something you need to know the rules, to inform the new players about the advantages and disadvantages.
