The Affiliate Management team has been notified of the new post.

Sorry I haven't weighed in much on this one AffiliateHub is now rogued on AGD as well. This is one of the worst breach of contracts I have ever seen. For a business to act like this is essentially saying they have no morals. I f they have shareholders - they should be ashamed of themselves.

If anyone needs a copy of their contract, please take a look at the terms alerts attached to this post dating back to 2009.

I have also added a new email to alert the unethical Affilaite Hub team of this and any future posts to this thread and in their forum.

Seems very little is being done by affiliates on this - even over at GPWA... we all just roll over and take a shafting?
Oh well...

Was just checking my October stats - and at least I had a little laugh at what I saw:
I dumped them early October, but still had 2 new registrations and 1 new depositor
Total deposits £15,977!! (Biggest EVER month by bleedin' MILES!)
... but casino nett LOSS £1,894
I have never been happier to see my referred players winning!
Just hope this high-roller takes the money and never goes back to Sky Vague-arse.

Woow, for a company like Sky, I would not expect them, to behave this way. no respect for small affiliates :-(

This is a huge shame. I thought affiliatehub were a decent program until this.

I have read the email and it seems to say that the point of this change is to encourage affiliates to get more players and reward them for this. Not to penalise existing players.

However I'm pretty sure the vast majority of affiliates are not hitting over 5 players a month. For me Sky products convert to a depositing player at about 1 in 200 to targetted traffic.

So to meet the quota you need around 1000 clicks a month. As many affiliates manage multiple programs this only seems possible if you are a super affiliate or sky is your top program.

I can't help but feeling that rather than encourage affiliates to get more players, this will simply be a mass exodus of small/medium affiliates. I doubt super affiliates will warm to this either, I mean what's to stop another higher quota being applied? Or their commission being reduced?

For a company like Sky this is strange, they are usually the sort of company who invests heavily in its staff and products and has long term strategies. This seems like effectively stealing from existing affiliates while masquerading as trying to improve affiliate performance all to simply make a fast buck.

I'm not even sure why they are going to the Berlin Affiliate Conference. Who in their right mind would promote a company with these quotas? I don't envy the affiliate executives turning up at that conference.

With sky owning major sporting portals like oddschecker and sportinglife and with sky television I doubt they even need affiliates. This move certainly seems like a complete lack of respect for the affiliate community. Which let's not forget are just normal people with families, bills to pay etc who simply want to do an honest job for a company on the terms they agreed to when they signed up.

Exactly my thought process too, theives.

I just looked at my old account. 47 registrations under a link called: Affiliate Program Default Link
Is that sub affiliates or players?

Never liked the program but they had some games I thought US players would go for but things never panned out in the USA as I had hoped for, got worse actually. Never really liked any of the UK companies except for a couple.
