Yes, it's not understandable but maybe the don't know that they will not get commission anymore. There are nearly 100 restricted countries and you will not get paid for your traffic.
The casinos are still open and they earn further on the players except some federal states but will not pay their affiliates for the rest of federal states. On the first days in September you were able to see some earnings but they have delete it manually next day.
Due to the manual access to the accounts, the suspicion grew that the numbers of earnings were manipulated on the last months step by step.
That's untehical behavior, scam and shabby tactics to partners.
After Novomatic left the german market and the margins goes down they provided a replacement. Probably that was not enough and they was looking for ways and reasons to pay affiliates less or not anymore.
Would it be a bad idea to list individual affiliate managers who work with such rouge brands? As far as I'm concerned, these kind of people have burned their bridges with me either way, no matter where they choose to go next. If they backstab us like this, let's make sure we swing back and for the pain to follow them wherever they go for the rest of their miserable careers
The junior managers have mostly no idea what's going up in the backround and have signed up a contract they have to comply.
A Head of affiliates or upper management can change things or whatever. The lower managers must agree with or even not.
If they know about rogue actions and can't agree with such terms, the only possibility is searching for a new job.
It's diffcult to trust these managers again if you had the feeling you were lied to and cheated. It goes around to have a job to feed a family but it goes also around the charakter of a person. "I will play the game and agree or my charakter forbids"
So it's difficult to work in this business and mean all is fine and works correct. The money rules the happening.
