Thoughts on WagerWeb? They take US players!

[gooderpoker]

WagerWeb has been around for a while but I just started to work with them when one of BetUS affiliate managers moved there and contacted me. They take U.S players and have been around since 1995 and have some nice promotions. The site also looks great.

Is there a reason why I have not herd of them much until now?

I will also post my sub link in case this site interest anyone Join WagerWeb Affiliate Program

Horrible horrible company!

Here is some of it: WagerWeb Sportsbook - SBR Recent News for WagerWeb Sportsbook
SBR was light on these guys for quite a while though having them at B- and having advertisements for them (2007 to 2008 maybe) basically shilling for a less than reputable book. But these guys turned horrible after. Pretty certain they had robbed trixtrix too for a massive amount and don't see that one here. Meanwhile these guys scammed me out of affiliate commission from way back when I didn't know any better because I took SBRs word (mistake I've learned from) that they were good. These guys come up with the worse excuses ever. I remember one a guy was wagering from his home in another country but he was a US resident used his real name, and real address associated with his credit card - but was banned for fraud. Other times where accounts where closed for multiple accounts where nothing at all sinister was going on. Guy had an account 2 years ago forgets or loses long-in opens a new accounts and bets. If he loses his account is never closed, when he wants to cash out - closed and funds confiscated. No hard from the multiple accounts was no a bonus abuse, limit circumventing issue etc. Another is claiming bots when players win in the casino. Correlated parlays, just bans and fund confiscation for being too sharp etc. The chances of getting stiffed by them is very high. These guys have proved they are not a reputable company and on the other hand are quite toxic one.

Top 5 for US in order:

Bookmaker - not friendly to small affiliates
5Dimes - no complaints at all
Intertops - first ever online sportsbook and still around (affiliate links are slow though)
Bodog - changing names for US market soon
BetOnline (I'm find with these guys - a lot of short pays in different areas, high juice, I just don't see many places to sincerely recommend them because quite mediocre in what they offer but a decent history until this point through multiple ownership changes).

Others okay:

legends - lacks excitement but long history of hassle free payouts.
DSI - (might as well just have a bookmaker account though).
sportbet - (can't have a 5dimes and sportbet account and 5dimes is better for most).
justbet - nothing too special but pays.
youwager - (never had an affiliate program - can maybe do ads with them).
betpop (same company as above).
rebate wager - many short pays not a fan personally and some risks, but a large step up from many others not on this list.
GTBets - always skeptical of a new site because most fail, but they seem to to have taken over VIP. I have no clue if can pass part of VIP great reputation to them or not. I'm hesitant but would be okay selling them a small review if I could mention always side with caution with new sportsbooks in it, and then give some selling points from there.

An actual email they once sent (old)

I think ratings for players and ratings for affiliates is MUCH different.

Personally my favorite Affiliate list

1. Carib Sports
2. Bet Croc
3. Just Bet
4. Wager Web
5. SBG Global
6. Sportsbook.com

Players should not however be recommenced for several on this list as they have poor history of actually playing clients. Depends on who your serving as guest. If your serving members who can blast your forum or blog with "where is my money" you probably don't want to recommend the bottom 3. But when it comes to fast affiliate payouts and good conversions the bottom three a must.

These guys called me awhile back too. They stated my account would automatically be given 35 percent commission instead of the original affiliate commission of 25. Did they also promise you this too? If so, is it true? I just started my campaign with them so I don't know if it's actually 35.

Yes I am on a similar deal and it seems to be paying
