Europartners Current Experience

[rod.collins]

Hi

I am just curious i have been in affiliate marketing for a few years now and am beginning to do it full time, makes a big difference when you hunt and peck at things. When you really dig in you unfortunately begin to see the flaws. I have seen a few posts on some not so good things about Europartners and was curious how many people here are actively promoting them and if so what has been your recent experience with them over the last 6 mos as far as stats payments etc.

I would like to hear the good as well as the bad if appropriate.

Thanks

Rod

I'll start with the bad: Never worked with them and never will.
I don't have a list of good reasons for that, because it goes back so long I've forgotten most of them!
All I remember is they were aggressive, unprofessional and had a reputation for jerking players around.

And they'll want a copy of your passport/other ID to work with them.

I've never worked with EuroPartners due the seeing over the years that they've screwed hundreds of people over, their is rarely a time when a complaint isn't circulating one of the forums.

I myself know one person who they agreed a long term deal with for exclusive promotion and then did everything in there power to not pay what was agreed, this was around a year ago. He had to fight tooth and nail to get this and it took around 6 months throughout the time he had cashflow problems due to it.

When you have a huge list of reputable and hard working programs to promote why take the chance? It's clear there company has problems, from support all the way to management.

Agreed. Very aggressive to me a year ago or so. Really winds me up how this company hasn't gone out of business yet. Looking around at other affiliate sites I can't find anyone who is advertising them, and if I do I'll be emailing the admin of each site to direct them to read the reviews here on AGD to make up their own mind about Europartners. Another one of those companies that has a load of low paid affiliate managers just chasing down as many new affiliates as possible, and once they've hooked you they're completely not interested in helping you.

I'll throw another "they are very aggressive" comment in the mix.

Earlier this year I finally decided to reply and let them know I didn't want to work with them because of their reputation. They of course went on and on about how things had changed and some comments on these forums shouldn't be all that I base my decisions on, blah blah etc.

I've learned to just ignore them. It's not worth the time to try to explain to them why people don't want to work with them.

there are several porn sites with pop unders of europa casino :emoticon-0172-mooni

Talking about the experience i can say that there was a thread on gpwa i started and never got an end, stats just never got back to reflect past players and all residual income was lost, passwords would not work, links would not work and so on so on...

Not many days ago i was offered money just to start talking and i still refuse, its like some have said, first trust is a two way street, i cant work with whom i dont trust, second i have better things to do with my life then chasing money and double checking stats with pixel tracking.... i would say never take a chance with this fellows...

Ye this would be the most effective and less time consuming thing to do.

Over the years I brought them more then 150 depositing players, 30+ of those players deposited $500+ upon their first deposit (right from the start).

These days there is rarely a player active, in good months they make 10$-20$ +

Evaluating their quality as business partners is as easy as 1,2,3

I prefer to lay into these charlatans in the industry If all affiliates made it hard for operators to survive when they act so despicably then they'd have no affiliate program at all. That said, it does feel like a bit of a waste of time sometimes. I just wish all other affiliates would drop them and teach them a lesson.

I got the same story from them too when I questioned their bad reputation - "don't believe all that you read on the forums, it's all lies etc, we work with playtech don't you know etc etc", instead of a measured response that might have admitted to some past failures.

Do you know these people actually started to register domains that were like affiliate domains (i.e. domain squatting)? Terrible behaviour. Who on earth at this company thought that was a good idea?

Can we do something collectively to make sure all that these people have robbed from affiliates is paid back in affiliates leaving and refusing to work with them? I know they're listed as rogue, but perhaps we can all wear AGD sponsored t-shirts at the next LAC conference listing on the back the rogues of the industry and walk around Earls Court making it visible to everyone.

No wonder they could sponsor the free lunch last year. It's funny, a number of other advertisers (sportsbook companies!) at LAC were joking saying "no wonder they can sponsor the free lunch with the amount of money they're skimming off affiliates"!

Mud (and other brown stuff) sticks. Reputations are hard to shake off in this industry.

They are definitely one to avoid. I worked with them years ago and they were forever hassling me over banner placement, pushing all their casinos rather than just one. It just went on and on. I did remind them that I didn't actually work for them and to leave me alone but it didn't seem to do much good. Not to mention the weird stats and conversions. Conclusion: they still suck.

No wonder their team are spamming affiliates with the usual "hey affiliatex" emails. They probably don't have any active affiliates left! I get about 5 emails a week from these jokers from different people too, and none of them even seem to know I already have an affiliate account with them. Desperate.

Look FA, as long as AGD is the single beacon of light, and GPWA keeps selling ad space to new affiliates and represent brands like EP for money, it will be hard to have any change at all.

Plus, you and i dont get paid, but i know guys making big bucks with them, they are the kind of guy that can send 60 millions emails to target audience and make xxxk euros month no problem, and this guys EP pays, and this is why they keep afloat imo...

They have some big affiliates that promote their brands no matter what you and i say, sites working with titan poker and other poker or casinos represented by EP will hardly give away on their player base. Some dont give a shit cause they work on CPA so if they see TCs with revenue decrease they give a laugh and move on with their day. We are talking about companies with lots of funds and resources. Offices with people pumping content 24/7, they see this as a .com model and dont care about detail, promoting 20 casinos and making money every month regardless they are helping the bad guy...

As a general rule I don't reply to any unsolicited emails from programs - if I did, I'd end up getting nothing else done.

If I'm honest I go so far to add a junk filter to any program who emails me out of the blue after the first email - keeps my inbox nice and clean.
