The Affiliate Management team has been notified of the new post.
That's what I am working on now. But not just geo target traffic, all. I do feel their lack of response or interaction with this tread shows they do not really care.but if you stop sending traffic like they asked, then it wouldn't matter
They stated many times that they will no longer take UK traffic. That implies that you are at your own risk of sending players to them from the UK market. You won't get credit for them - so why do it anyway, lol.
Let's stop blaming the programs for our own problems. I'm sorry, but in this instance I don't see how they have gotten the blame. Yes, they redirected any UK traffic (ANY). Not 'affiliate'.... ANY. Just like you should do. There is no difference.
I'm nearly ALWAYS on affiliates' sides (because I am one). But I also have the ability to understand that everything is not their fault even when we would like it to be.
I'm not receiving compensation of any sort from GoWild - not as an affiliate and not as a host to their sponsorship. If they are not taking UK traffic, they should state such thing on their own page - not send someone on to another casino.
I can and do agree that UK facing sites should not send traffic their way. However, I also agree that considering they were once in the UK market and they continue to maintain a relationship with affiliates - they should not be sending uncredited traffic away anywhere without first crediting their affiliates. To do anything else is just not in good faith from where I am sitting.
If an affiliate sends over UK traffic after being asked not to - they give that player up.
ok... and why are you their boss on what they should do with their website? I'm not trying to be mean here... I'm just asking why anyone feels it is their duty to tell a company how their website should re-direct (or not)?
We just differ in opinion here. Once they left the market and sold off their players (tagged to the affiliates as expected) - they can do what they want with their UK traffic. If an affiliate sends over UK traffic after being asked not to - they give that player up.
We would like to update you that currently the remnant US traffic that our clients' are receiving is being redirected to an online casino operator who accepts US players. The tracking of the traffic has been set up to enable existing affiliate banner tags to be passed on.
Pity it took another AGD member (FictionNet), to uncover this issue.
It's also like saying we have the right to cross promote without giving affiliates credit. Is that ok?
How is GW suppose to know what players actually follow through with the redirect, open an account and make a deposit! I am almost willing to bet the numbers are very low. Why did you not bring this up 2 yrs ago? Sorry, I am in disagreement..
This redirect happens all the time with companies it is not something new being done.. If I go to a site from the USA there are many places that redirect me to RTG brands.. It has been going on now for yrs in your industry.
nobody should be sending them UK traffic at this point.

To do anything other that this, is covert (aka dodgy) and not in the least bit transparent.
What category does masking affiliate links from players fall in to?
