I would tell them to stick their "new account" right royally up their own ar$e. This is a classic Israeli affiliate program tactic- "oh, your account is massively negative, let me set you up a new account [so you're now motivated by starting from zero and we can rob you even more, sucker]" or...

Ladbrokes can go wither away and die now like all the other criminals based down there who have thought they could rob affiliates for short term gain and in a year or two people would have forgotten and they'll be able to pick up some new fresh faced naïve affiliates at LAC. This sort of...

They're doing themselves over even more though. Short term thinking, their affiliate business will shrink by 75%+ as people walk away and never trust them again, and new entrants won't even look at them.

Would ideally like to do this, but the likes of Ladbrokes would either ignore it, or they would sign it and then go back on the deal in 3 years time and tell you to see them in court as they couldn't care. Just make sure the jurisdiction of the contract is in the UK or somewhere where you can...

Did anyone manage to speak to William Hill at Amsterdam to find out (gloat! :) ) about whether they're moving to the UK or elsewhere? I was in Amsterdam but ran out of time to go talk to these slimy b%^stards.

No problem. I hate programs that try sneak in new terms to their advantage. If we allow this to keep happening, and with the mergers in the industry, it's going to be the death of small affiliates. Ladbrokes was already a toxic brand, but they're just intoxicated Coral too. No going back

Ripping people off, going to jail, coming out clean, and selling up your share holdings is pretty nice business isn't it?

On top of the above, when I refused to agree to the new terms and sign the contract, my ignoramus affiliate manager just blocked me on Skype! They go from nice guys when you're eager to do a deal, to nasty when you start questioning things!

Yeah, would like to get the message out as much as possible. I have a lot of affiliate contacts, big ones too, so will be mentioning this to them. I doubt the big guys will just put their signature on a contract addendum without going through it with a fine tooth comb anyway. It's a sly move...

Yeah, I think we're all aware of Ladbroke's history, but many affiliates will probably be unaware that Coral will now go this way when managed by the same people. Yet another good UK brand that is now impossible to promote.

Anyone looking to advertise 10bet - I would question them about their ownership and the people running the company behind the scenes then make your own mind up about it. Strange they've gone from 2 people walking the floor the conferences to the biggest stand there in a matter of a few years...

This is also Coral too now that they've got rid of the UK team and have sent the affiliate management side off to Israel. Basically the new team in Israel manage both brands.

I would urge anyone given these new terms to challenge them and refuse to sign up to this 48 hour cancellation term. Effectively you can send them thousands of players and they can legitimately cancel you and steal your revenue share.

Now Ladbrokes-Coral have merged they want you to sign up to what they call an "Affiliate Amendment Agreement". Basically another contract that supercedes the one you originally signed up to with each individual brand. GuardDog - please PM me and i'll send over the contracts so you can post the...
