Best Casino Partner Terms and Conditions Analysis

Our overall analysis: This program's Terms and Agreements are horrible for affiliates. Do not promote this program unless you wish to have your revenue share reduced to 15%.

NOT WORTH PROMOTING

Hi Andy -

Just FYI, BCP is still marked Predatory in the main lists.....

Happy Holidays!

[Guard Dog]

They are still marked predatory because they still have a predatory term. They currently use the 'Minimum Player Rule' on any affiliates who sign up after November 1st, 2008. That term reduces earnings below their published rates.

Oops - sorry about that, I got trigger happy -- did you notice this is in your original post up above? That's what set me off -

Our overall analysis: This program's Terms and Agreements are well within normal operating standards and in no way are designed to hurt affiliates. There are NO KNOWN predatory clauses and affiliates should feel safe in knowing that the T&C's are acceptable to AffiliateGuardDog.com

I see what you mean.. .I have to change that for sure as it is no longer accurate.

The next rev of the forums will have that information as part of each program's main forum area. Unfortunately, in the meantime I have to change it manually (which I will do right now)

Thanks WCD!

OOPS! I was on the verge of signing up because I am looking for some Vegas Technology casinos. I also found one of their casinos, GoldenCasino.com in Casinomeister's Rogue List.

They have updated their terms and are now under 'Warning'. What does this mean?

It means that Best Casino Partner (and their sister Casino Blasters) have changed their terms and are now Affiliate-Friendly. HOWEVER - when a program changes to predatory terms at any point, we are not going to give a thumbs up immediately upon terms change. This took a long time for them to make the change back... too long, IMO.

So - feel free to promote, but be wary.

I am VERY happy they 'saw the light', so to speak... but I am still cautious.

Well, I don't think a warning is exactly right if the terms are good now.

At the risk of making things more complicated, I think there should be a different designation for something like that.

The warning is now misleading...

We could take a vote, but that was always what the warnings intentions were.

I think a warning is okay; they really shouldn't be trusted completely just yet. They deliberately enacted a predatory term, and then they refused to change it for many months. I suspect the only reason they changed their T&Cs now is because the ol' pocketbook was getting thin -- not because they really cared about the welfare of their affiliates. That's just my opinion, though.

Another reason I don't trust this group is because BCP actually stole a player from me and didn't keep a promise that they made. When they closed one of my two accounts, Allen (if that was his real name) agreed to move the one active player from the closed account to my remaining open account, in exchange for me promoting them again. I held up my end of the deal -- I put the casino back up that day -- and then he never moved the player over as promised. Because this conversation took place on the phone, unfortunately I have no proof of this....

So, because they stole from me, and because their T&Cs were so unfriendly for so long, I'm not willing to just turn the page and give them a fresh start. I do think they should have a warning label for at least 6 months. If they keep their nose clean for that long, then by all means, remove the warning. Personally, I will wait at least a year before I work with them again (if ever, because I'm not sure if I will ever get over the fact that they stole from me).

Also, as Nandakishore said, Golden Casino is still on Casinomeister's rogue list, which further complicates things....
