Betfair - Seem to be closing account

[AidanLCFC]

Seeing on that other forum that Betfair look to be closing affiliate accounts due to lack of activity and dropping people down to 5% for 20 days before they shut them

Yep, definitely having a clear out. I received my email the other day.

Pity, I liked Betfair but the Paddy Power merger was bound to create trouble.

No idea what the cut off criteria was, no one has really said what they were sending them (can't believe people still post on there after seeing the thread where GPWA outed themselves accepting sponsors without gambling licences).

I do wonder what they think they'd gain over the long run doing this though. People that get closed today can go on to be the next big super affiliate tomorrow and they'd miss out on that action

Exactly they would not be in the position they are without affiliates, and we all have to start somewhere which is usually the bottom. Some rise to the top and some don't who are they to say who will or will not become a big player in the field. There terms seem to go one better than SkyBet where the commission is reduced to 5%, now Betfair will close your account after 20 days, ridiculous.
Being an established player TBO do you have to suffer with these idiots?

to be honest if I stopped working with everyone that put out things like this they'd be no one left. I could take a super integrity stance and stop working with these people but it would make no difference to them, and in the end cost me money when they either cut commission or close accounts and then you double lose out. the way I look at it is try and earn as much as possible as quick as possible and hopefully avoid these issues but if these do end up catching up with me i'd be in a financially position where it would be a kick in the balls but wouldn't actually hurt.
obviously there are some firms i wouldn't even bother touching

Have they specified any requirements in these emails

Cant be bothered with any of these crooks like Betfair, they just do as they please with no consideration to affiliates ever.

Paddy Power aquired SportsBet.com.au, and wasn't that long after, the affiliate program retroactively changed T&C's. Which then had them stealing commissions.

Big eye opener for me this, give them by our standards a lot of players.

Personally never been threatened with any account closures or commission cuts but is worrying for the future.

Is one player a month enough to keep you at you current %??
