The best Wagerworks programs?

[Engineer]

There are 4 programs that I have been working with (or "attempting" to work with in some cases) --

Virgin
Paddy Power
Blue Square
GetMinted

Virgin has their stuff together; the other 3 programs aren't quite as organized yet.

Paddy Power sent me a check that I couldn't deposit (it was issued in £ instead of $, and it had "Paddy Power BOOKMAKER" written on the check). I'm not comfortable depositing a check like that in the U.S. I told Paddy about this, and now they are going to wire the funds to me.

Also, with Paddy Power, the stats aren't that great. I was disappointed last month because the "profit" figure that they show in the stats is actually the gross profit earned by Paddy Power -- it's NOT the profit I actually earned.

Example: The "profit" figured showed £600. But this is gross profit (not net). So they needed to subtract out the bonuses, taxes, fees, etc., and then I got 25% of whatever was left. I was excited about getting this big payment of almost $1,200, but in reality I only earned around $200.

They've been very apologetic, and they are working with me personally to smooth things over. They're going out of their way to make me happy, which is nice. So, Paddy still has a little way to go, but they're on their way.

Blue Square has predatory T&Cs, but I was told they would be rewriting the T&Cs in the future. I don't know what happened with that. Also, when I signed up, there was no "USA" option, which was kind of inconvenient.

Additionally, Blue Square still doesn't have the newest games by WagerWorks. This is kind of lame -- the new games should be there by now; it's been over a month since MegaJackpots and Elvis were released.

GetMinted made a stupid move a while back. They were going to replace their existing affiliate program, but instead of leaving the old program in place until the new one was ready, they shut down the old program on Dec. 31. The new program just recently went live. So, for almost 2 months, I had to redirect traffic from their pages to some other casino. Why they didn't leave the old system in place until the new system was ready is beyond me.

I haven't really had any problems with Virgin. They pay on time each month, and they are friendly and supportive. Virgin remains my #1 WagerWorks program.

Thanks for that Engineer, great to get your opinion.

One other thing about Blue Square I noticed, (but it could just be an issue for me) was that when I registered to test it out, I registered a username and password, as is normal. However, when I went to log-in after registering (to try to deposit) I could not log in. Turns out I needed to use the 9 ID digit code rather than my username to log in. That may be obvious to most people, but it wasn't obvious to me. I wonder if many people sign-up, try to log-in with their username, fail, and leave?

Managed to log in to Virgin today after the 'upgrades' to the system, but it's just as slow as before - don't see the speed improvements they were talking about yet.
