Summary:This new set of terms is BAD for affiliates. Without a SET DATE for implementation of the policy above, Centrebet is effectively saying that they will now implement a negative carryover for HIGH NEGATIVES (above -$5,000) retroactively. If you agreed to their previous terms and conditions, they are breaking your contract. Additionally, they have implemented a ‘Minimum Player Rule’ forcing you to send traffic in order to be paid for players already sent by you. This is nothing more than a way for Centrebet to steal your commissions and increase their bottom line.

Change #1 – Category: Restricted Players

NEW
Centrebet Poker and Centrebet Casino are not permitted to offer casino or poker games to persons present in Bulgaria. No entitlement to advertising revenue arises with any casino or poker play by customers present in Bulgaria.

OUR SUMMARY: This is a bummer seeing programs removing regions of players.  Bulgarian players are no longer allowed at Centrebet Casino.
