Ladbrokes - MORE bloody work!

[KasinoKing]

Obviously I realise they are Rogued here and many affiliates (especially Americans) don't like what they've done in the last couple of years, but to be fair they did cut me a deal to not reduce my commission % if I had low conversions, so I stuck with them and I have made a good steady income with them.

BUT... they're bloody changing their affy back-end AGAIN!
They only did this 18 months ago (Feb 2012) and once again I have to find every single link on my websites (of which there are LOADS) and change them all over again!

Mind you, it looks like they really are finally going to dump MG in favour of Playtech - so maybe I would be better off just removing all their links because 100% for sure this switch is going to cost them very dear in terms of casino players.
It will be a sad day for me though, because Ladbrokes download MG casino is still my favourite place to play online

im sure they get more money each time the change... some will send in old links get no credit and others will quit leaving low to any residual income, and the one that do the effort have to get with the errors and bugs... looks we are the beta testers this days...

This is surely a group to avoid imo!

Just this week I've been told to push their MG over playtech, so it sounds like it's staying.

As for the migration.. it's been delayed once, I'm hoping they just abandon it all together - especially seeing how many affiliates have voiced their concerns to them about the new software.

I solved the problem of updating Ladbrokes' links again by removing them all.

Great site, rubbish affiliate program.

KasinoKing... A word of advice. Create /go/ladbrokes/, /go/intercasino/ folders and add your affiliate link in the index file of these folder. Link all your links to these folders. Makes it a lot easier and you only have to update one file for each domain.

This is what I do - makes life a lot easier to be fair - only finally did it after 2 years and now can change links instantly just with one change

I even thought about going one step further and centralising all my links through an adserver (eg: I host the banners and store the links on one server and display them to all of my sites).

Would allow me to create the aff links on the fly, meaning I only need to update a link once (with the adserver then adding the site profile, ID or payload as relevant). It'd save so much time..

But decided against it in the end as it would just be too much risk (eg: if that server went down or was hacked).

Are the terms of the new affiliate program still rogue?

They had no intention of having good terms and conditions. Their responses were minimal to the issue with no intent to change.
