Wayne at Fortune is good; he will get back to you.
WagerShare is not a program I can recommend -- I would stop promoting them ASAP and start promoting someone else.
Vegas Affiliates -- try chris /at/ vegasaffiliates /dot/ com. He is the new affiliate manager there, and he has been fairly responsive and communicative since he started.
Did you put your Moneybookers details in each affiliate account? Log in, find the "payment preferences" area (or something similarly named), and make sure your Moneybookers account information is there. If you have already done that, you should be good to go.
Another thing to remember is that some programs pay later than others. If you are expecting payments this month, they could arrive near the middle of the month, or they could arrive very late, depending on the program. Every program should pay before the last day of the following month, though (if you are owed anything).
Hopefully that helps. Good luck receiving your first commissions, and congrats, too! ;D

Why this comment, is there something wrong with them I do not know ? Frankly I have no problems with them and they respond very quickly to me.
OK they will set you back to 25% basic rate if do not send more traffic, but apart from that I have no complaints.
thanks for the quick reply, il shoot chris an email, whats the deal with wagershare? judging by the casinos they represent, id have thought they would be a great program, again im new and probably a little naive, someone fill me in? and if any admins see this could you fix my account access so i can modify my profile, i keep getting errors saying i dont have the right privileges or my account hasnt been authorised?

Wagershare has predatory terms and conditions:
Essentially, if they don't convert the traffic you send, they can steal your residual income.
Also, Wagershare has a history of making deals and reneging on them when they feel like it. Many webmasters have experienced a situation where WagerShare offers a more attractive commission rate, only to take it away a few months later, thus confiscating a large chunk of expected residual income.
If they cut your rate from 35% to 25%, for example, the amount you take home drops by 29%.
Had the traffic been sent elsewhere (i.e. to a place that won't lower the rate on a whim), you wouldn't have to face such a large loss.
If you're happy with 25% and questionable T&Cs, that's fine, but personally I will not promote any program for only 25% -- that is just way too low.
Lastly -- here is another example of Wagershare screwing an affiliate: https:// www. affiliateguarddog. com/forums/wager-share-refuses-honor-subaffiliate-betway-after-merge-t3918.html
itsblitz, you need a certain number of posts (15, I think) before you can modify your profile. This was put in place to prevent people from signing up only to get a profile link to their site. I'm sure you will have 15 posts soon.
