    Hi all,

    I think it's time to share some learning from my own experience with the BWin affiliate program.

    - They've been changing things in the past in the system which means their links were dead for some time and obviously no one told affiliates about it.
    - After some investigation I can confirm that the guys from BWin are shaving affiliates, which means they are stealing traffic and reporting much less than what I originated.
    - If this is not enough, I've just received an email from BWin affiliate saying they would close my account for not having sent a sale during the last 3 months.
    - Obviously I've been giving other merchants my best spots during Xmas so haven't sent much traffic to BWin.

    To sum up, just wanted to make sure you're all aware about my experience and hopefully start sending your traffic to someone else because these guys are just a bunch of scammers.

    I would appreciate any feedback you may have :)

    Thanks,
    I

    promoting bookies is a nice way to earn a shit load :)
    if you get 10 people on 30% of winnings and a month they win £10 you get £30... and with unlimited referals you can get shit loads...

    Hi Dating Guru,

    I had a very similar scenario with BWIN - to start we promoted Sportsbooking which we had limited success with. After a month we expanded into Poker and Casino - during this month we delivered a large amount of clicks to a 'dead' link, which we were NEVER notified about. I am 99.9% that the link redirecting to another BWIN page, unrelated to our affiliate account. I can only imagine how many players signed up.

    Its sad to see a 'reputable' company with-hold affiliates from their deserved commissions. We simply ask for COMMUNICATION!!!

    We attempted to make things right (larger CPA w/ no rake) with BWIN after the dead link issue; however, all were empty promises that lead to a large waste of time.

    Also, my account with the brand, Bwinners has been shut down to zero activity, LOL - thankfully, I will not have to receive any additional BWIN promo emails.

    I can only encourage affiliates to promote other casino/poker/sportsbooking brands - good luck "winning" with Bwinners.

    Best wishes,

    -Mike

    This is too old, but I have a doubt about how bwin calculate the commission:

    If a user wins I dont have any commision but, for example, if a user referred by me, lost $100 betting on bwin, I earn 25%?     So my earnings will be $25??
    Thanks!
