Warning, this can also happen with Betsson/Affiliate Lounge

Commission Lounge (part of the Betsson Group as far as i know, for Turkish players/traffic)

Hi,
We would like to inform you about the changes in Commission Lounge terms of use which will take place by 1st of September 2013.

According to this change, life time commission rule will no longer be valid and our affiliates will get commission from their users for only 24 months after users' registration dates.

The aim of this change is to maintain the continuity of new user sign ups to our brands.

The old users will automatically be removed from the system after 24 months since their sign up dates.

If you have any questions or comments regarding this change, please feel free to contact us by creating a ticket from "Support/Create a ticket" menu on your Commission Lounge account.

Was that the whole email? No explanation. No apology. No justification.

Let me rewrite that email so it's clear what they are really saying:

Hi,
We would like to inform you about the changes in Commission Lounge terms of use which will take place by 1st of September 2013.

According to the need to appease our directors and make their retirement both comfortable and wealthy, the life time commission rule will no longer be valid and our affiliates will get commission from their users for only 24 months after users' registration dates. We did think about reducing commissions to just 12 months but we thought we might just get away with two years.

The aim of this change is to take money rightfully earnt by affiliates and re-direct it to our directors retirement funds. See first paragraph above.

The old users will automatically be removed from the system after 24 months since their sign up dates. We calculate that the next press release about our company earnings will show a significant bottom line interest. This will please our directors. See first paragraph above.

If you have any questions or comments regarding this change, please feel free to email our directors. They won't reply, of course, as they are too busy buying property in Monaco and counting their hardly-earned cash. If you have any questions, please refer to the first paragraph above.

Wow that is awful,

I am so very sorry Elgoog. I hope that their program did not make up for a lot of your commissions. A lot of hard working people are going to be losing money they were expecting to get when they first started working with them I would assume.

Why would anyone promote, although done in an honest fashion, ...scraping.

If any of the programs I work with wants to do this, save your time and write the exit contract as "it was nice meeting you goodbye".

If I may respond to the sentence in the email, "The aim of this change is to maintain the continuity of new user sign ups to our brands."

I find that the online casinos I enjoy working with get new players and sign ups continually because they give me more and more money as incentive, not less.

THis is a betboo move all over again, i had this done to me in betboo and i had residual income every month, after this nothing of course, they fucked player, we started dropping them, and now, nothing not residual or otherwise.

Referring to affiliatelounge i can only say this, propaganda poker joined betsafe, i had a poker player data base of at least 400 strong active players, after all the mess with migration, zero, nada, nicles, nothing! ever! i mean really i never made one cent more after the migration, so i say affiliate lounge is also kinda rogue, they just gave out a promo of 60% commission till october and i did not even bothered registering, We need so start sinking some ship or a move to another vertical is in order...

Seems all this brands just get pissed we rank them in google and want to disappear all their affiliate, i for one will keep pumping content and trying to make money, but never exposing this rogue outfits.
