Thanks for the feedback. We take our commission structure very seriously and it is currently under review. We recently undertook an affiliate satisfaction survey and this issue did come up so we are aware of affiliate opinions on this. However, as I mentioned in the previous post, we can't offer anything more than one year at the moment. When/if this changes we will inform you. On a more positive note we do offer lifetime on some sports products. Our multiples bets, for example, offer lifetime revenue for affiliates.

On the next point: The below quote is correct, however this is a standard clause and I want to reassure you that we don't enforce this on regular affiliate accounts. It would have to be in exceptional circumstances for us to enforce this clause i.e. an affiliate opens a personal account through their affiliate link and never promotes Betfair; this individual wouldn’t be acting as an affiliate and therefore under these circumstance we might terminate the account, however this is unprecedented.

Quote:
d)13.2 Betfair may terminate this Agreement immediately in the event that the Affiliate

(d) does not introduce any new Customer to Betfair for a period of four (4) months.

I hope this answers all your queries. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me at: sportsaffiliates@betfair.com

Thanks,

James

Any update on payment options for affiliates? Wire does not work for us, and we've accumulated over $3000 in commissions that we have no way to actually collect.

If i sign up a poker player, do i also earn commision from casino?

If yes to above...

If i sign up a poker player and he decides to go and make a bet on sports, is it then bye bye after one year?

[MJ]

You will earn poker and casino rev for so called "life" but any betting in the exchange on sports, markets, whatever is void after one year as I understand it.

Of course you can't find this info on their website, borderline shady if you ask me.

I wouldn't promote or recommend promoting Betfair under any circumstances, whatsoever.

Wasting your time with them as a sportsbook - no money to be made at all.

Dunno about poker/casino as we aren't allowed access down here.

Care to expand?

Let's just say I don't like threatening phone calls during the middle of the night.

Thanks for the thread everyone. I filled out an app and almost started promoting Betfair until I saw this. I'll look for someone else.
