[ocreditor]

William Hill closing accounts without explanation and not responding emails, they shave the account and offer me to "re-apply"... yeah right.. blacklisted them:

Same, received 20 minutes ago.

[Online-casinos.co.uk]

We received the same email, hundreds of players gone in the blink of an eye. Absolutely shocking. Spread the word.

[Online-casinos.co.uk]

.. and just received a similar email from 888.

[tomgalanis]

We have received the same thing, but it turns out they sent it to us by mistake so probably worth checking with your AM

[tufty]

We have received the same thing. 20 years worth of work, investment and partnership gone. Absolutely disgraceful. They’re probably flogging the business or planning to refloat… exactly the same happened with Flutter.

Same. Also circa 20 years. Wholesale theft.
Running out of firms to promote in UK. My site's going to be one long list of blacklisted operators only.

[mgaming]

WH and 888 are probably clearing their costs before the sale. Disgraceful move, don't ask again for exposure, ban or kick in the face.

[Mattbar]

Same here, closed after 10 years working with them. What a surprise they do this just before Cheltenham starts so they can keep all that revenue from thousands of accounts we all worked hard to send them to themselves. There isn't a profanity strong enough to describe them.

[BetSmartUK]

Same here 20 years promotion gone in the blink of an eye

[Mattbar]

Oh and they are very happy for you to sign up to a new account. Sacrifice your whole account base to them and just start again so you can build up another account base that will be closed in a couple of years.

I would like to inform you that you are welcome to create a new William Hill Affiliates account and discuss your reward plan options with an account manager.

[TheGameHunter]

Same here - 20+ Years, Will Hill was my first commission payment

[Online-casinos.co.uk]

This is actually so bad it sounds like they are laughing at us. Every affiliate forum should put a banner at the top of the page declaring them a rogue company. Surely a class action lawsuit incoming.

[TheBoyMitchell]

It's like Skybet all over again...

[AVC-Invest]

Yep, just got my closure email today...

[loquax]

Same email. I especially like the "thanks for working with us" and the "you'll be paid for all commissions earnt up to the end of March as a gesture of goodwill" parts of the email which helped soften the disappointment.

My site's going to be one long list of blacklisted operators only

Aye - at this rate the only thing we'll have left to tell people about is bingo night at The Dog & Duck

[Mattbar]

"you'll be paid for all commissions earnt up to the end of March as a gesture of goodwill"

At least you got that, for the rest of us looks like we are cut off from today no?

"For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be entitled to receive commission payments in respect of any player transactions which occur following the date of this notice."

[loquax]

I was being sarcastic.. got the same as the rest

[tomgalanis]

I was being sarcastic.. got the same as the rest

Turns out we were sent the email by mistake... probably worth checking with your AM there!

[Mattbar]

Ah ok. Well at least we all get screwed equally bad

[betprotips]

Same here. Strange approach
