In an effort to become more affiliate-friendly, iNetBet removes negative carryover and marketing prominence requirements.

TERMS UPDATE, COMMISSIONS, NEGATIVE CARRYOVER AND MARKETING REQUIREMENTS

ii. Commissionable earnings are calculated as the merchants profit, less charge-backs, complimentary money, free money offers and other incentives offered to the customer.

a. Charge-back: A credit card holder discovers irregular transactions made on his/her Credit/Debit Card, which were not authorized by him/her. The credit card holder then requests his/her bank to reverse these charges. Charge backs relate to fraudulent use by a third party of the credit card holder’s card or card number.

b. Should the player process a charge back, the disputed or charged-back revenue generated by yourself will be forfeited and therefore deducted from the total balance due to you for the current month.

c. Should this deduction of the accumulated revenue exceed your current amount due, your balance will then revert to a negative balance, and you will have to earn revenue to cover the charge-back before you can start earning revenue again.

d. Negative balances on an account are carried forward to proceeding months. We understand that this might be frustrating to the Affiliates, but it has to be made clear that the casino can only pay out a percentage of their profits, not fraudulent revenue. Negative balances created by players winning are reviewed monthly. In certain circumstances these may be cancelled.

e. Complimentary Money, Free Money other and 6. Other incentives refer to those amounts credited to the account of customers. As they have not purchased these amounts we cannot pay commissions on these amounts. iii. Commissionable earnings will be subject to commissions as calculated using the tiered commission tables in force from time to time.

iv. Commissionable earnings will be earned for the life of the customer, on all transactions the customer undertakes at the merchant. This will continue , for as long as the affiliate remains a member of , has a visible online presence and continues to supply players to this affiliate program.

v. Payments are made on the 21st of the preceding month. Payments are effected by Check, Wire, online walllets NETeller and Prepaid ATM or into affiliate’s casino account. Accounts may request wire details for payments over a certain amount.

TERMS REMOVAL, MARKETING REQUIREMENTS

Affiliates are responsible for promoting the merchant by implementing the advertising, banners and tracking URL’s on your websites, e-mails or other communications. iNetBet reserves the right to terminate any non-active accounts. Should an affiliate close their website/organisation or fail to supply new players for a 6 month period, termination of agreement may occur

Summary:Thank you, iNetBet, for listening to affiliates and adjusting your approach. You will now become affiliate friendly at AGD!! Woohoo!

About BLOODY time! :D

I went 6-months in 2007, and am currently on another run of 9-months (April to December) with no payments from iNet due to NCO, despite having regular players.

I also had the same problem (or worse) with ClubWorld, Bet365 & MainStreet before they scrapped theirs.

This is the problem for the small affiliate like me with only a few players - the big guys are much less likely to suffer from this.

I am NEVER signing up to another NCO program again! :mad:

We are trying to get a hold of iNetBet right now. The terms did reverse back to the old version, recently, but we believe that was a mistake.

Stay tuned.

I'm still tuned - any news?

I'm not going to start actively promoting them again until this is resolved.

Sorry... you are tuned into the wrong place :) I did not update this thread, but a new one was created. This terms alert was the reason why:

iNetBet Remains Predatory | Casino Affiliate Programs Terms and Conditions Updates

iNetBet is predatory. We tried to work with them, though :( Maybe there is still a chance, but at this point we cannot wait and let unsuspecting affiliates think their program is affiliate-friendly - because it is not.

merchant. This will continue , for as long as the affiliate remains a member of , has a visible online presence and continues to supply players to this affiliate program.

They left that in despite removing it in another spot, but I guess that doesn't matter now.

Damn, I was even willing to live with the NCO but I can't live with quotas, even loosely worded ones.

baffling and more so, frustrating. I'm mad at myself because I DO NOT remember ever seeing in their terms about supplying players. I would never have signed up for them. Then again at the time I did sign with them I was pretty desperate for some RTGs that I could count on to pay players and they had a great rep for doing that.

but I have to survive too. And I simply will not bend over for anybody that comes along and thinks they treat me or worse, any of my players badly / unfairly.

this sucks though because I have them plastered in a lot of spots.

........

Are you guys sure that quota was always there? (I mean, like about a year or two back. Perhaps the better said, does anybody remember a time when iNetBet did not have any quotas in their terms?


........


any news Bonus on iNet changing their minds. I would prefer not to have to take them down.

I'm with you there - 100%!

So they have NOT done away with NCO.
This is a real handicap to the small affiliates like me, with only 2 or 3 linked players.
I've been in a -ve situation with iNetBet since April last year - and it's actually getting worse!
My players keep winning, and since April have collectively made $1,364 profit from the casino!
Right now I can't see I'll ever receive another cent for having their banners on my websites... :(

I had the exact same situation with another RTG group, but I contacted them in December & they kindly agreed to remove the big -ve player from my account.

And just yesterday I heard back from Bet365 that they would NOT remove my negative. (Been in the red with them since November 2008!) At current levels of player activity it would mean I would earn nothing for at least the next ELEVEN YEARS. So I was regretfully forced to remove all their banner from my sites.

I'm still trying to decide whether to do the same with iNetBet.
If they stick to the player quotas requirement I might as well give up now.
Obviously they put no value at all on the smaller, less popular affy sites. :mad:

Not always. It came in sometime in late 2005, around the same time they removed the following:

iNetBet OLD Terms said:
iv. Commissionable earnings will be earned for the life of the customer, on all transactions the customer undertakes at the merchant, for as long as the affiliate remains a member of this affiliate program.

Which was changed to:

iNetBet NEW Terms said:
iv. Commissionable earnings will be earned for the customer, on all transactions the customer undertakes at the merchant. This will continue for as long as the affiliate remains a member of, has a visible online presence and continues to supply players to this affiliate program.


Not exactly an affiliate-friendly move. Too bad we were not in existance at that point :(

you have to wonder about the wisdom that goes into these decisions.


having been around a long time, I have seen those who had a ton of traffic end up with very little ... (myself included but mine due to laws changing at PPCs instead of google) but point being that you never know who's going to be on top and who is going to get back on top (my hope) so not treating all the same ... is a grave mistake because people remember.

edited to add: and what better opportunity than to give the little guy a break because its no biggie to the sponsor one way or the other except for the good will it passes along.

no worries. I do have to take them down though. I can't abide by quotas.
