I got one too, told them they most have mixed me up with someone else, as I haven't had any content promoting them or sent them any traffic in years now.
Their response below.

I stopped promoting Neteller years ago, when they started marketing casinos to their client base. Sending players to them, is the same as sending my traffic to another affiliate site. Besides, when I was breifly working with them, I made next to nothing anyway.

This could have something to do with it?

Shay - thanks for that info link about Income Access being sold for C$40m
Amazing price given the limited nature of the software user interface ... but perhaps there is more behind the scene.

I've had three to various emails and I have been driving myself crazy trying to work out what it was about. Emailed them with no response.

I've got this email too. As I don't promote them anymore, I've emailed them and ask what exactly I've done wrong but no response so far.

A gambling web-wallet, who also markets gambling venues to their account holders... Glad I don't work with any programs who use IA.

Interesting news about Paysafe acquiring Income Access. Perhaps should start another thread here about the potential implications. It seems that Neteller's aim has been to sign up Neteller accounts with a view of making real money from then selling those people casino/gaming accounts.

Does this now mean that Paysafe have access to all affiliate customer data ever sent via Income Access? Does this mean in a year or so you're going to find that your players are being pushed some spurious casino brands via Paysafe, thus eating into your own revenues and giving you no reward?

Yer sounds like Neteller got a taste over the past few years of marketing casinos to customers, now they want in big time with the affiliate business. They must have got some nice database info from the sale.
