The bringing into play of one or several of the above measures will be without prejudice to any other rights, remedies, legal actions or compensations available for Unibet. When the alteration of the commission structure will be notified to the Affiliate, he will have the possibility to terminate the Agreement within 7 days. If the Affiliate does not terminate the Agreement, he will be deemed to have accepted the alteration of the commission structure. (j) If Unibet determines, in its sole discretion, that the Affiliate has engaged in any of the foregoing activities, or Unibet detects any doubtful betting patterns, suggestive of any unlawful activity or a breach of any obligations of the Affiliate under this agreement (including, but not limited to, patterns that suggest that the referred player(s) in question is benefiting from money back or incentives from the Affiliate to compensate for their losses; and/or a consistently low number of referred players is active on the site; and/or 50% or in relation to Sportsbook or live casino, more of the total stakes in any monthly period is being bet on a single outcome by all referred players (such as arbitrage, including arbitrage in a team format where safe bet calculations have been given to players by their Affiliate)), Unibet shall have the right to, terminate the contract immediately, and or to withhold payment of any commission due to the Affiliate that has been derived from the purported breach. Unibet may also, in such circumstances, and without prejudice to any other rights it has, alter the commission structure whereby any monthly commission will be calculated with reference to the Net Revenue earned over the previous month(s) i.e. negative Net Revenue in one month will be carried over to the next month and then used to calculate the Net Revenue for that month; if the Net Revenue for that month is also negative, both sets of negative NET Revenues will be carried over again to the following month. In such a case, Unibet will notify the Affiliate of the proposed change in the payment of the commission, whereupon, the Affiliate will have 7 days within which to cancel the Agreement. If the Affiliate has not cancelled the Agreement within this period, it shall be deemed to have accepted the revised payment structure. Furthermore should any fines be incurred due to the Affiliates lack of compliance with subsection 4. i) xiii., and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to Unibet, choose to pass any such fine onto the Affiliate either by deducting from future commissions until the debt is settled or bill the affiliate for each breach they had incurred. k) As an alternative to the options available to Unibet which are set out in clause 4 (j) of this above, Unibet may, as a result of the Affiliates actions indicative of a breach of this agreement, elect to suspend any payment due to the Affiliate while it investigates any suspected breach. If it chooses to suspend the account for this reason, it shall notify the Affiliate at the earliest opportunity, informing it that doubtful betting patterns have been detected and that the account has been suspended as a result. If the Affiliate wishes to terminate its account in such circumstances, it may do so at any time during the suspension period. Unibet shall investigate the suspected breach, and shall inform the Affiliate of the result of its investigation no later than beginning of the second once-monthly affiliate payment days. If Unibet finds sufficient evidence to suggest a breach of the agreement, it shall terminate the Agreement forthwith, and the Affiliate shall not be entitled to any monies currently owing to it as a result of the breach. If Unibet concludes that no breach of the Agreement has occurred with respect to the activity of the Affiliate or its customers, it shall pay the Affiliate all monies owed to it and shall calculate an amount of Net Revenue for the period of suspension based on a average of the Net Revenue generated by the Affiliate in the preceding 3 months (or if the Affiliate has not been registered for 3 months, for the number of months that it has been registered for). If the suspension takes place within the first month, the amount that has been generated up to the date of suspension will be extrapolated, to provide a figure payable to the Affiliate for the period of suspension of its account.

That is shocking!

Isnt this on itself retroactive change. I have never agreed to such thing. Once this has now kicked in they can retroactively change stuff as well.

[baldidiot]

I take it they don't want affiliates any more then?

[kwblue]

Appears that way. We have obviously shoved them into the RogueHouse at AGD. It's simply horrible how they have changed terms - these are among the worse I have seen and completely anti-affiliate.

[grem]

We just started to promote unibet :s

[Viriatu]

We just started to promote unibet :s

imagine all that time producing content to get players untagged in the end cool bunch huh?

[Smoking]

scratching them off my "being built site "

Thanks for the heads up

[Viriatu]

ye we are all in the same boat it seems....

[bonustreak]

I think they are not wanting affiliates at all! So glad we never promoted them.

[ogpaper]

Argh, they used to be a good program, wtf happened?!? Here goes the extra work of removing them...

[Professore]

Agree with opinions here, it looks like captain says let our ship sink.
I got feeling one man destroyed affiliate system and trustworthy there.

I can say just one thing, huge number of sub affiliates (5 years work) was stolen from me in mid of 2011.
Brutal and unprecedent change of rules during the football game.
I was doing business for this brand ages before that decission maker stole my affiliates.

However, I got reasonably feeling that better times for affiliates are there in last months (cca from end of 2012)

[alin04]

I promote Unibet 2 years ago but not anymore.
They have a good bookie but the affiliate terms are getting worse day by day.
I think they hate us, for real.

[Professore]

Well, not only money were in 2010 always late, but also cheat after cheat. Day to day cut of % comission (yes exactly!), simply changing the rules during football game. Plan your cash flow and tax payments in such a business relation, they didn´t care about it, that´s amazingly brutal. Then they steal all subaffs you have collected long years before without paying a penny. Pure robbery.

I feel that as my duty not to be silent.
