Ladbrokes retroactively change commission structure - heads up

[Vladi]

If you have a Ladbrokes affiliate account, prepare to be forcibly migrated to a crap "new commission structure"...

Dear Affiliate,

Following our announcement a few weeks ago with regards to our new affiliate programme – Score – please note that we are still on track to migrate existing affiliates on the 1st February 2012. As of the 26th January we are launching our new website score-affiliates.com.

With the 1st February just days away now, we’d like to give you some further details and the necessary actions you will need to take.

You do not need to register a new account via score-affiliates.com. All of your details will be migrated across during the transition process.

We will provide you with your log-in details on the day we launch

Upon logging into your account on the new platform, please check your contact details and update/amend where necessary

You will also be required to enter your preferred payment method. Don’t forget you will now have 3 payment methods available - Moneybookers, Neteller and Bank Transfers – and all options will support GBP, Euro, USD payments

You will need to update your tracking links and use the latest banners. It is important that you update your tracking links across all of your sites. The sooner this is done, the sooner you can start making the most of the improved features of our new programme

You should continue to use your current log-in details via the existing site between now and the 1st February 2012. The existing site can still be found at ladbrokes.com/aff_man

On the day of launch you will no longer have access to your old account. Therefore please ensure that you have downloaded any past reports you would like to have on file, as historical data cannot be viewed in the new programme.

Your payments up to the end of January 2012 will be processed as usual using our current system. Any unpaid balances will be migrated to your new account and will be paid out as normal once it reaches the payment threshold.

We will also be introducing a new commission model as from 1st February 2012, that will be based on the number of new customers sent every month. We believe that this model will better reward affiliate performance and moreover, you will now automatically profit from revenues generated across all our products. Commission will still be paid on the lifetime value of players.

Please note, when you first log in to your new account you will be required to accept the new Terms and Conditions including the new commission structure.

Number of Players Commission
Level 1 101+ 35%
Level 2 61-100 30%
Level 3 31-60 25%
Level 4 3-30 20%
Level 5 0-2 15%


We have done our best to make the transition as smooth as possible and we look forward to working with you going forward.

Kind regards,

The Ladbrokes Affiliate Team

What that e-mail does not say, is how they class "number of players"
{Edit} Oooops - yes it does!

Oh, well that definitely nails me down to 15% then.
I might as well pull them from all my sites. It will be quicker & cheaper than updating 50 - 60 links.

I will definitely be seeking them out for clarification at LAC next week...

That kind of a bad changes sucks big time. It´s not fair at all for us. Glad that i was not promoting them almost at all and now i´m sure that i´m going to take all the rest ones off..

I'm glad they never answered my emails way back so I never promoted them either, hooray for rubbish support for once

Will remove them total from my site if they keep that up.
We would need to send them 31 players a month to get the current default commission which is 25%.
