Title:Mansion Affiliates terms change – removing commissionsDate:September 26, 2011 11:59 pm
Category:Mansion AffiliatesTags:


NOTE: Mansion Affiliates will remove your commissions if you do not claim them.

Removal of your commissions
5.17 If funds remain in your account for a continuous period of 180 days with no withdrawals during that time then your account shall be deemed dormant at which point funds remaining in your account will be removed.


Summary: Predatory. There is no reason for them to ever touch your commissions. I always find this term completely underhanded and unsavory.

Mansion Affiliates have added Payment Date changes, Fraud Changes, Forced Verification Documents (or your account can be closed and commissions forfeited), and added a Minimum Activity Rule. Mansion Affiliates are now predatory.

Payment Date and Fraud
5.9 Payment requests shall be processed on the 10th and 20th of the following month in 72 hourswhich the traffic was generated. If we suspect the terms and conditions have been breached or the occurrence of fraud traffic, the payment request may be held over for investigation and your account frozen until we can validate that there has been no breach of these terms and conditions. If your account remains frozen as a consequence of this clause 5.9 for a continuous period of 180 days then in the absence of: satisfactory explanation; or evidence to prove legitimate dealings, funds remaining in your account will be removed and your account closed.


Initial Verification Documents
5.14 Due to strict anti money laundering requirements we require one or more forms of documentation to verify your identity before we can make a first payment out to you. If for a continuous period of 180 days from our request for this verification documentation, we have still not received the same from you then the funds remaining in your account will become dormant. Upon becoming dormant we will issue a warning advising that the funds remaining in your account will be removed if the necessary verification document is not received within the following 90 days, funds remaining in your account will be removed and your account closed.


Dormant CPA Accounts
5.15 In the case of CPA deals, if we do not receive any traffic for a continuous period of 180 days, your account will become dormant. We will issue a warning advising that the funds remaining in your account will be removed and if no new traffic is sent within the following 90 days funds remaining in your account will be removed and your account closed.


MINIMUM ACTIVITY RULE - PREDATORY
5.16 Where the arrangement is based on a Revenue Share, if no gaming revenue is generated for a continuous period of 180 days, your account will become dormant. We will issue a warning advising that the funds remaining in your account will be removed and if no new traffic is sent within the following 90 days funds remaining in your account will be removed and your account closed.


Summary: Mansion Affiliates are NOT affiliate friendly. Do NOT promote them with these horrible terms in place.

Title:Mansion Affiliates update bonus promotion termsDate:March 17, 2011 12:16 am
Category:Mansion AffiliatesTags:


This a change out of necessity, most likely. This simply states that you must advertise the bonus as stated.

Bonus Offerings
4.12 You may only offer bonuses and promotions to players on the COMPANY's behalf that are authorised and sanctioned by the COMPANY, where you have an obligation to ensure that the COMPANY's promotion/bonus header and terms and conditions for these bonuses and promotions use COMPANY's prescribed wording and are communicated and specified in any publication of the same on your site, email or other media. Where there is a discrepancy between the terms communicated in your offering of the bonus or promotion and the terms specified to you by the COMPANY, then the COMPANY shall be entitled to recover by way of set off of any commission owed to you or other means, the loss suffered by the COMPANY as a result of your non-compliance with the provision of this section 4.12.


Summary: Simple change to ensure affiliates properly promote bonuses.

Title:Mansion Affiliates Rakeback Terms UpdateDate:December 4, 2008 6:35 pm


Mansion Affiliates have made a strange change to the rakeback term. Due to the extensive edits to this term, we have elected to show the old term and new term so that you can better read the terms alert. It took some extra work, but makes a ton more sense this way. For the full terms alert, please see: Mansion Affiliates TAS Alert

OLD TERM, 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, Rakeback Removed


9.1.13 You shall comply with the obligations that are imposed in your respective jurisdiction of incorporation in respect of privacy and data protection legislation. At the minimum you shall ensure that you have in place, and will maintain throughout your time as an affiliate, appropriate technical and organisational measures against accidental or unauthorised destruction, loss, alteration or disclosure of personal data relating to our players, our staff and others that may have been provided to you by us during the course of this Agreement, and shall ensure that there is adequate security programs and procedures in place to ensure that unauthorised persons will not have access to any equipment used to process data. In particular you shall not allow any third parties to have access to and / or process the data without our express written consent.

Summary:This looks like a complete change of this term to once again allow rakeback. We will follow up, though, and find out more.

Like many others, Mansion Affiliates are no longer allowing affiliates to promote rakeback schemes.

NEW TERM, Commissions, Party Poker


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.


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:Mansion Affiliates goes pretty far with this term including fining the affiliate who participates in rakeback schemes. Maybe a bit overboard here, but the term is sound.
