The entire point is that why would any affiliate promote them when they don't pay?

My guess is they won't pay next month and will be blacklisted as Wagershare was.

When you see so many not being paid in these threads, there are thousands more that never visit forums.

No trust, no payments, no exposure.

Buffalo Partners IS the new Wagershare.
I'm surprised this entire Cartel hasn't been "blacklisted"!

These diabolically plans to use Betway as their UK flagship, have clearly been in the pipe-works since Betway Partners was established in Oct 2013. Then there's all the casinos added to the Digimedia License and their aff programs being absorbed by FA (all except Brightshare).

Not long after the dust settled on that, BAM!

We're told the "blacklisted" Wagershare is merging (errr taking over) Referback to form Buffalo Partners. What follows is:
  • Locked accounts subjected to a six (6) month freeze on affiliate owed fund; (wasn't this what got WS blacklisted?)
  • Casino's are now bundling;
  • HR policies etc etc.
Everything that WASN'T Referback, has now been adopted by Buffalo and aligns itself to Wagershare's characteristics.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, you can be pretty sure it IS a duck ;)

I'm sure other affiliates have families to take care of, kids to feed... This group seems hell-bent on taking as much of that as they can, with no regard or respect for their partners.

I think the same yesterday i have say to Andrew : i think i will never been paid for past commissions and new .... i was liking referback not Wagershare and now Buffalo = wagershare not good affliate program

Referback never says : monday : Payment is on the way, next day : no paiement made because adress mail are not the same on neteller and affiliate panel, next day again : you need to set skrill as preferred payment method to be paid, next day : payment is on the way, next day : you need to send an invoice and wait next week to be paid ....

It's a wagershare work not referback !! they play with our feets !

If it's true we have to wait till next month which i never experienced before im just going to start removing them for new programs. I don't understand why would some get paid and not others. I had success with referback it sucks i have to potentially drop them but if im not going to get paid this month it is what it is. While waiting for our payments im going to look for new programs

With regards to the 3 points listed above, we must point out that these are all incorrect.
  • Locked accounts: commission is paid in the same month
  • Bundling: we do not have brand bundling
  • HR policies: the HR policy in place is the same as it has been for years at Referback
Thanks,

Andrew

It is incredible to hear about all of these complaints right after the launch of this program. What a terrible relaunch for Wagershare.

It should not be forgotten that their casinos used to be pretty much the best there was for many years.

Sorry my bad!

Must have got it confused with the T&C's of Betway Partners (the other affiliate program Wagershare operates).

  • HR policies: the HR policy in place is the same as it has been for years at Referback. Agreed but Referback Never acted on them. Buffalo Partners have!

However Buffalo does have player quotas:
7.16.2.2 If after a 6 month inclusive period no new active Customer are referred, then Revenue Share will be reduced to 20%. Once a new active Customer has been referred, the following month the revenue share will be increased to 25% revenue share, and then such revenue share will increase in line with the number of referrals set out in 7.16.2 above.


Edit:
What does it matter if an affiliate does not refer new players. The loss(s) of already referred "active" players are still the same. This terms (imo) seems like a way to 'force' affiliates to continue to promote BP.

Not withstanding the fact, BP feel they have the right to change; alter; dismiss; amend or otherwise do what they like with regard to the T&C's.

Meaning, that reduced 20% could well end up being an identical term used at Betway Partners - slashed to 10% and commission(s) held until a new player is sent.

I got paid. Not the usual 10 biz rb days took 25 days but i got paid.

I checked my stats and there's no bundling no negative carry over. I haven't had a HR yet.

I'm still weary of this merger and I'm looking for other programs to promote just in case.

Maybe a good affiliate manager but the program has become one of the worst very rapidly.

They even launched spin casino which is a 100% duplicate of the previous spin palace but NOT does track our affiliate id/btag.

I am not adding them to new sites and remove most of the exposure as I do not trust them anymore.

This launch is even worse than expected. Tracking is not working, payments are not coming and shoddy terms are being implemented. There is no more Referback at all in this house, just Wagershare.

Let's not forget how long many years some of their casinos have already been in business for and that they used to be among the most reputable brands for quite a while. What a nasty turn-around! I will stay away.

To comment on the above:
  • Tracking is working
  • Terms are more favourable for affiliates than they were at Referback
  • While there were some glitches with some payments with the initial payment run, these issues have been resolved and we expect the next payment run to run smoothly.
Again, the new program is not Wagershare, it is a merger of both Referback and Wagershare.

If you have any concerns please contact your affiliate manager or our general support directly (support@buffalopartners.com), and we will be happy to assist you as best as possible.

What is this spin casino? Do you have a link?

  • Referback never enacted their "High Roller" clause/s. | BP opened Aug 2014 and now we have HR policies!
For Sept 2014 @ RF I'd have made over $7.5K on my high-roller BUT because he was corralled by Buffalo in Aug 2014, I made a BIG FAT $0; ziltch; diddly squat.

How is that MORE favourable to affiliates :eek:

Again, the new program is not Wagershare, it is a merger of both Referback and Wagershare.

You can play semantics and deny everything but clearly it's not Referback running the show now. The way Buffalo is operated is indicative to how Wagershare worked. Not to mention, some affiliates were contacted by ex-wagershare AM's when Buffalo Partners opened. It's all too obvious that WS are IMHO calling the shots at Buffalo and this wasn't a merger BUT a take-over.

Wagershare is still blacklisted here and other places, so forming BP clears that problem up, doesn't it!

Hi Bet4You,

Referback did enact their high roller clause in the backend, however Buffalo Partners goes into far greater analytical detail when it comes to providing individual player information, including players affected by the high roller clause, so you can now openly see this information in your reports .

Going forward we request that you please first contact us directly with any concerns that you may have in order to ensure that you have the correct information on hand.

Best regards,

Andrew
