Hey

Buffalo Partners / Betway changed our agreed and confirmed revenue share of 35% to 25% without mutual agreement, prior communication or notice. In November and December, we delivered a total of 170 depositing players – all of which this change will affect.

My advice is to only work with them when you have a clear and signed contract.

Let's work together and only promote sustainable and reliable operators.

My advice is to not work with them. They're rogue for years and for things way worse than 'just' changing a deal.

The lunch served up by Buffalo at the affiliate conferences is courtesy of the affiliate shavings - avoid them like the plague

I also dislike them (Buffalo), their affiliate system sucks. I am wondering why BetWay agreed to go under Buffalo..

BetWay has always been owed by the same people as Buffalo (the old Wager Share Group).

They pretended to spilt away from WS in October 2013 for political reasons (new gambling regulations IIRC), but anyone who believed they were truly independent must have rocks in their head!

Well, we all know the answer to that question, right!

Thing is though, the OP obviously has a decent amount of depositing players here, and I highly doubt he's going to drop BP. Just like other affiliates who have decent player bases (here and elsewhere). I was in the same boat too. While I was 99.999% sure I was getting shafted, I was still making decent coin. To drop BP, meant I'd lose x%, which was still a fair chunk.

BP pay, and although they are very questionable, being paid and maintaining one's livelihood, unfortunately takes precedence. Which BP (and others know), otherwise they wouldn't enforce quotas, nor reduce commission %'s if quotas are not met ;) Sadly it's a wicked circle, where most of the time affiliates are behind the 8-ball, and are held to ransom per se.

Due to the Paradise Papers it turned out, that Betway is connected with a real Italian Mafia Crime Family, with murderers, which are chased by the UK justice department.

As a result, Buffalo/Betway is under criminal investigation also by the Belgium government.

It is a proven fact, that Buffalo is part of a worldwide operating criminal organisation, which hacked hundreds of thousands of websites, the reason, why their sponsorship was terminated at GPWA.

Also Aussie Dave reported about that hacking wave in the public: "Literally 1000's of innocent sites have been hacked and it continues, even though the casino affiliate program AM, claims the account has been disabled."

Source: https://plus.google.com/+DaveMikkelsen

He also stated some years ago on GPWA, that "Affiliates who promotes rogue casinos not only casts a bad light onto their own web site(s) and reputation but also affects the reputations of all casino affiliates" and announced that his new website "has been establish to taken active stand again any casino affiliate that promotes rogue casinos."

Source: http://www.gpwa.org/forum/warning-all-rogue-affiliates-you-will-blacklisted-188200.html

That means, hurting the business of affiliates with public blacklisting which is the wrong way. I would never ever promote Buffalo, because it's a proven fact, that they are criminals, but that does not mean, that the webmasters of such programs are also criminals or less worth than others.

I think he will continue promote BP, perhaps even harder than before. "Let's work together" and "Just work with sustainable and reliable operators" you usually hear when people have a problem with a certain program A bit like another user last week. We hear of them just when they don't get paid by one of the dodgy programs they're promoting.

It's not about questionable, not paying on time or shaving here. BP is actively involved in criminal activities for years. Activities that are not only illegal, but are costing us all income.

Im not defending BP but its sensational journalism , so they use a lawyer who was involved in an investigation with the mafia, it hardly ties Betway to murders !

Of course, and because it is "sensational journalism" only, the Belgium government has nothing better to do than to investigate this matter. And the Paradise Papers with that evidencer of course are only a Fata Morgana and does only exist in dreams.

Wake up!

This "lawyer" is nothing else than the strawman for Mafia financing, quasi a Consigliere. And if you would know anything about the Mafia, that you would know, that no one can be a full member of any Mafia Crime Family until he kills someone and that the killing of people was, is and will be a key element of any Crime Family.

Shall I remember you, how the Mafia only some months ago, probably colluding with Government and part of the Police killed a - you would call her a "sensational journalist" - how they killed a women, Mrs. Daphne Caruana, who was to close at the truth with respect to the connection of Malta, gambling industry and Mafia?

But of course, this is also only "sensational journalism" and that women is in reality still alive and a fake corpse was planted by conspirators.

One should be very careful to downplay all this crimes. For those, who still have not heard the bells: Many governments are fed up with the crime in this industry, and the new wave of regulations and restrictions is a result also of this, also of downplaying, and it's only the beginning.
