Casino.com adds a clause to control incentives and the promotion of incentives by affiliates. The term appears quite predatory when read and appears to give them the ability to take affiliate commissions. Additionally the terms have changed the words ‘casino.com’ to ‘Company’ and the email address for support to affiliates@mansion.com.

NEW TERMS, Commissions, Incentive Promotion

5. Affiliate Earnings & Payments

5.12 If you wish to offer any incentives to potential players, you are required by us to receive prior written approval before commencing any such activity. In the event that you do not receive such approval but offer such incentives, we reserve the right to cancel your participation in the program, and refuse payment of any previously earned, but unpaid, commissions.


UPDATED TERMS, company, company informational change

and cheque are is $10,

General enquiries should be sent to affiliates@casino.com affiliates@mansion.com. If you have any questions regarding these terms and conditions please contact us at the same email address. 1. Definitions and Interpretation 1.1 ”Casino.com” ‘COMPANY”, ”we”, ”our”, ”us” mean Onisac Limited the company within the Mansion Group of companies with which you have elected to become an affiliate of.


Summary:This term appears to be quite predatory. While it is understood that affiliates should not offer incentives without prior approval, to terminate their contract and steal their commissions is a bit ‘overboard’. I think there are many simple alternatives which would be much more effective

It appears Casino.com is now following the few programs who wish to deter affiliates from promoting their property. They have enacted a very predatory minimum player rule which requires 5 players prior to payment.

ADDED TERM, Predatory Term, Minimum Player Rule


5.12 A minimum of 5 First Time Depositors (FTDs) are required before a payment withdrawal request can be made by you.


Summary:This term is horrible for so many reasons. If an affiliate were to send their 1st – 4th players as high rollers, but Casino.com could not convert the rest of their players… The affiliate would not receive payment and Casino.com would profit incredibly. This is an active attempt to dissuade affiliates from sending traffic and is extremely counter-productive for a program to implement.

Title:Casino.com Terms Update – RakebackDate:October 15, 2008 5:37 pm


Casino.com have (along with many, many other affiliate programs) now banned rakeback affiliates from using this method of promotion.

NEW TERM, Promotion, Rakeback


9.1.13 You shall not offer any form of rake back, where all forms of Rake-Back are banned. ”Rake-Back” is a discount offered to players which is awarded through the player’s deposit account or in any other way, in accordance with a specified percentage of the rake and tournament entry fees that were generated by the player. You shall not offer any Rake-Back or so-called Rake-Back schemes whatsoever, or any similar schemes that offer or allow a portion of the players’ rake or tournament entry fees to be returned to the player in any form. You shall not advertise its site in, accept traffic from or otherwise be engaged with an offers of Rake-Back.

NEW TERM, Promotion, Rakeback


10.2 If you are in breach of the above Rake-Back prohibition as set out in section 9.1.13 above, then, without limiting, and in addition to, any other remedy that we may have under these terms and conditions and agreement with you, or applicable law, we may, in our discretion, send a warning notice to you. If you do not rectify any breach capable of repair within the time prescribed in our notice, then you will pay us a sum in compensation for the breach, which we may assess, at our sole and absolute discretion based on the type and scope of the breach and the damage caused in the amount of up to US$30,000. You acknowledge that any such compensation assessed by us will be our reasonable estimate of the damage likely to be caused to the network for the Operator’s breach. 10.3 In each event of breach or non-compliance, in addition to any other remedy that we may have under these terms and conditions or applicable law, including its right to compensation as described above, we shall also have the right, at any time, to seek damages from you for any new or continuing violation of any of the above provisions and to terminate your affiliate agreement with us.

Summary:Both new terms are there specifically to ensure that affiliates know they are not allowed to promote rakeback. This has been an increasing ‘profit drain’ for affiliates and affiliate programs alike and it is nice to see Casino.com take a stance.

Casino.com have changed a couple of terms in regards to affiliate commissions.  They are simple changes, outlined below, and not predatory, retroactive, changes:

TERM REMOVED

5.1 The affiliate earnings payable to you by Casino.com shall be calculated in the manner specified at http://faq.casino.com.

Summary: Affiliate earnings calculations are inside the terms and conditions, so the clause was removed in order to remove the URL which no longer pertains.

ORIGINAL TERM

5.2 The affiliate launch offer of $40 USD bounty per first depositor is subject to referred players with a minimum turnover of $40 USD and a minimum deposit of $40 USD. The 40% commission is in addition to the bounty awarded. This offer will only be available during the launch period. After this period has ended it will revert to a standard tiered affiliate programme to be specified at the time of change.

NEW TERM

5.2 You must specify whether you want your affiliate account to be Cost Per Acquisition or Lifetime Net Revenue Share. You may only select one per affiliate account, meaning you will be subject to the same conditions for all referred players linked to this account.

Summary: The reason for this change was the fact that the original promotional bounty is no longer offered.  The terms and conditions now more closely follow their true architecture.
