Betfair Partnerships closed my account and not paying

[3joker]

So it seems betfair just closed my account. I haven't been able to login for over 2 weeks and they didn't pay me my commision last month. Also they don't reply to any mails.

Has this happened to anyone else? Criminal behaviour.

They've been criminals since they robbed their players in 2010.
I dumped them right after that.

I hope you get your issue sorted.

You can always tell when an affiliate program is struggling. That's when it starts stealing from its affiliates.

Mine is also closed.

An invoice that I sent them 4 months ago is still unpaid. I guess it will remain unpaid.

Single ticket blacklist.

My account has was closed in the beginning of this months, and all future payments for revenue share customers brought in over the last 6+ years voided. The excuse was a bogus claim about lack of activity which is not backed by the numbers. On the other hand, my referred players brought in positive net revenue in 27 of the last 28 months, and earning so far was up 80% over last year.

I have described all the details and some general takes on the effect on the business model in a LinkedIn article that has gained traction and includes several comments from other affiliates that has similar experiences with Betfair. Not allowed to post link, but the article is called "Betfair Merges into Notfair".

Please share and comment in order to warn other affiliates of this conduct, and hopefully preventing other operators from considering similar short-sighted money-saving schemes.

Just noticed the informations about Betfair Partnerships on the right bar. Maybe this is old information and not updated but Betfair has not "negative carry over"

According to their terms it is discretionary = unacceptable as far as AGD goes.

"At the end of a calendar month, Betfair shall record your total share of Net Revenues, if any, during the previous calendar month. In the event that a revenue share in any calendar month is a negative amount, Betfair shall be entitled but not obliged to carry forward and set off such negative amount against future revenue shares which would otherwise be payable to you. However, Betfair shall also be entitled but not obliged to zero the negative balance that would otherwise be carried forward."

Okay i haven't read this clause but what is written on website may not transparent enough. What they could do is to write "No negative carry over" on start page with a note to this clause, what would be more clear.

To write a clause like this into terms & conditions and have the possibillity to do, of course isn't great and i agree with you. We never had any negative carry over in all the years.
