    Default WikiAffiliates shutdown without notice!

    To whom this may concern:

    This is the text we see on the home page of the casino operator WikiWins.com:

    To our valued WikiWin players. We are currently upgrading our software and servers in order to provide the best gaming experience ever.
    We should be back online with the next 72 hours. Please check back with us then. Thank you for your understanding.
    If you need assistance, please contact us at our support team.

    This message is on their site for the last 10-14 days now.

    Tracking is dead and so far no one is responding via email.

    Affiliate site is gone - http://www.wikiaffiliates.com/

    Another operator that think of no one but himself and his profit !

    I'm sorry to hear that, ocreditor. What a joke. That's a real shame. Ultimately it's there loss and we as affiliates can move on and find better operators to work with. No one should have to go through this and also put up with lack of communication from anyone.

    Another joker operation shutting down quite fast after the launch. Perhaps the player base is transferred to some white label or sold and affiliates are left without anything.

    Whatever the problem may be, they really should keep the players & affiliates regularly updated about what is going on or people will start to wonder and make assumptions.

    They posted on AGD today, just FYI:

    We are down as a result of a platform change.. We left our old platform provider, who was not attentive to our technical needs, so we built our own and that is the ONLY reason we are down. We originally thought we needed only 72 hours to complete the transition, but it is taking a bit longer unfortunately. We anticipate re-launching within a few days from now. Thanks for your concern.

    Thanks baldidiot, that's explains few things but it's not explaining why they didn't let the affiliates know about this....
    Also why is it so hard to write this on their landing page instead of the 72 hours notice...
    It's a shame because in this situation the affiliates who didn't know just had broken links on their site so no one really benefit from it

    Wow, totally missed this. Tried logging in and of course nothing working. Although Casino Cerise is not longer active Wiki Wins Casino appears to be live and linking to Wikiaffiliates. Updated links.

    Now situation is even worst, the casino is live and running while the affiliate site is gone forever:
    https://panel.wikiaffiliates.com - error 404
    http://www.wikiaffiliates.com/-- No website

    Given the explanation of the Rep at AGD, seems like they were trying to buy more time, more time to gain more "free" players. No contact with their affiliates, even though they've supposedly been setting up their own bespoke casino for the past year. Something doesn't gel here. Then, to see the casino still operating BUT the affiliate site close, gone... I hope all those who were marketing this brand, have now yanked their links.

    The fact that there is no contact with the affiliate team at this downtime only points to fraud company that cares nothing about their affiliates.

    Damn, they don't even have the decency to be straight about it, thinking they will fool both players and affiliates? That's super anti-professional but I'm not surprised really. It's not the first time a casino does that!

    With little to no accountability; a bi-product of the internet, there are those within our industry, who, driven by greed, have no qualms in stealing.
    So who can you trust not to blindside you? Tough question.

    Don't take programs on blind-faith, and just throw them on your site because they're new. Even licensed and regulated operators screw-players and affiliates over, hence it's not always 'grey markets' who you need to be wary of.

    You can also use the following site: https://offshoreleaks.icij.org/

    This provides lot of information about offshore companies (shelf or otherwise), foundation, trusts etc., etc. And, who's connected to what. Great resource if your trying to dig up info, because it also names CEO's et al.

    And get everything in writing.

    What I've found, a lot of these crooks think their intelligent but truth is their not, and they tend to outsmart themselves. AKA 'what a wicked web we weave when we try to deceive'. Basically meaning they can't remember their lies. Hence why is good to get stuff in writing
