    Default Your thoughts on operators with no affiliate programs that use player accs instead?

    Hey,

    Just wanted to hear about people's opinions and experiences about working with brands that don't have affiliate programs and manage referrals via player accounts.
    I had one brand like that, but things didn't pick up with them, now I am looking into starting to promote a different brand that does it the same way.
    Seems pretty dodgy to me, especially given the fact that you will have no affiliate manager and will have to resolve any matters with regular support people. But perhaps that's just me being biased?

    It looks pretty dodgy, as at least there has to be AM and affiliate platform in the back. At least once they start or stop to pay someone has to provide support.
    I will definitely would avoid programs and bookies/ casinos like these..

    What brand are you talking about specifically? I know of several that are. They don't have any affiliate panel at all, and to find out if someone has signed up or if there is any commission, you have to write to them for support. Or another one sends reports to email from time to time.

    My opinion is that if someone is going to cheat he will cheat, the data in the panel can also be manipulated. Everything depends on the reputation of the program and the bookmaker in general.

    Are you getting rev share on these or is it just the player facing "refer a friend" schemes?

    Think I'd rather send my traffic to Ladbrokes.

    Answering the two questions from above:
    - what brand it is? It's a newly established Nigerian brand, so I doubt most people would know about them.
    - is this just a refer a friend scheme? Doesn't look like it, but I'm still checking and waiting for them to answer some of the questions I had.

    p.s. I wouldn't be looking into a friend referral thing.

    I know some affiliates managers that told me that they have some affiliates that play all of their commissions all the time. I couldn't believe it.

    It does sound rather dubious and I wouldn't even bother with any of it.
