As an affiliate marketer i was screwed by sportsbook.com. I had a white label deal with sportsbook.com to promote abcsportsbook.com. Prior to me promoting ABC, it had very little revenue and almost 0 daily players. After almost 1 year of working 14 hours days, I was able to get the site ranked very high in the search engines for top keywords. I also did my own CPA deals with other sites out there to get more players in. After all that work I was averaging 300 active players/day during football season. The site itself generated around $80k in revenue/month. My share of the revenue was 35%. At the end of the year I was told that I would be able to sell my share out for 5 times the amount I made on the site on the year. That total would come out to 500k. I even met with one of the big dogs who shall remain nameless for security purposes in Miami (Has his own book and has been on CNBC). This guy is a multimillionaire and has a 10 million dollar mansion in Miami. In October he and his pal has the nerve to tell me that the deal is over because of the UIEGA that was passed and I would receive nothing from then on. Comes to find out, he is still operating the site and making money off my blood sweat and tears. I do not understand how someone with that much money can screw me out of what is rightfully mine. Since then I have been forced into bankruptcy and am just barely scraping by. Haven’t received a dime from them. I got everything on paper. They are all crooks..

Since then I have been forced into bankruptcy and am just barely scraping by. Haven’t received a dime from them. I got everything on paper. They are all crooks..First of all, this is only my experience and might not represent the experiences of other affiliate marketers who have or do promote commission account/sportsbook.com.
I have been promoting sportsbook.com for around 1.5 years, I have high traffic according to their stats, higher traffic according to my stats, but have not had even 1 download. I get many e-mails from players telling me that they have downloaded the software and love it. This is a great surprise to me, as I have seen 0 downloads since I have started with them.
I have removed my sportsbook site, and have posted an “under construction” page until I can find a another sportsbook affiliate.
I have read many postings on CAP that give great instructions in cases such as this: “if casinos are not paying you, then pull their banners until they do.
But again, this is just my experience.
when you think you are getting screwed over by a program I will give you the advise i use myself.I have people i know in many countries,i send them money and ask them to sign up and play at the ‘questionable’ casino.Then i see if they show in my stats.If they dont wait 2-3 weeks then contact your manager with the name address acct number of what the player put in and then proceed to write a rogue report on them.We do this with ALL casinos we deal with and when they pass our test ,we send email asking them to disable the test accounts and we dont collect the commission.Play fair with them too and most times they are happy to hear you are happy they will send the commission anyway.
as a rule of thumb, you dont become a multi-millionaire for nothing. where i come from, there is a saying that in order to become rich you have to step over a few corpses. not necessarily meaning that they are dead (although never rule that out) but that to become a multi-millionaire and remain one you need to be ruthless…
besides, most rich people i know are penny wise pound foolish…
…but sounds like you got badly ripped off. white label/private label deals can really backfire if you don’t own the domain. or they can backfire if they steal your players or discontinue offering their gaming platform.
