Beware Casino Creed

[Guard Dog]

I think there is something up with Casino Creed Affiliates... They do not respond to anything anymore, which is VERY frustrating considering they were a platinum sponsor here and the people behind Creed 'seemed' to be good folks.

I would NOT promote them anymore... this is my GUT feeling due to non-responsiveness over the last month.

I have placed a warning icon on this group for the moment, but would not be surprised if they get into another category soon.

They could not be bothered to meet with me in London either which is quite rude considering I helped them get off their feet and did many introductions etc....

never did like the name... sounded too much like "Greed" to me.

and I think the casino name is important in this business.

Wow, interesting -- thanks for the heads up. Casino C(g)reed was on my list of possible future casinos to add to my sites if I needed to replace one of my proven performers -- but not anymore.

Thanks for the heads up, glad I didn't give in and sign up when they first started. They bugged me for a long time trying to get me to sign up.

Yep, thanks for the heads up, I had their Live Dealers in my sights too.... glad to get the heads up before I do the work!

Andy, I like your "red lights and green lights" on the affiliate program forums. How about adding some others . . . for example: Responsive Affiliate Manager: [Green/Yes] [Red/No]

Not a bad idea... Not sure how I can keep track of this, though?

It just reiterates the fact again that any new affiliate program should be taken on with gloves. We've promoted them for nearly a year and never made a dime out of them; all we've got to show is a couple of clicks and 1 sign up.

Although we never marketed this outfit aggressively it pales in comparison to the other programs we're working with. I guess it's time to tar and feather them.

Interesting problem.

Just a suggestion, how about something like this: Set a button on the first post in the affiliate program area, asking if a response from the aff manager is requested. Then set a cron/db to check aff manager forum response time??

Wouldn't be all that accurate but would be an 'indicator' of responsiveness...
