Can't anyone get it right?

I am still waiting for an affiliate program to get all the parts oiled and in working order.

I think right now the closest ones are PAW and CHAN!

Here is what is going on:

1. Full Tilt - pretty reputable, but fees and some lack of communication hurts the program.

2. Poker Stars - it has been AGES since we have been promised a new backend...ummm...actually an actual backend! No MGR to boot!

3. Chipleader (UB/AP) - has been off for a while now - complaints everywhere you go on forums and from other affiliates. All kinds of glitches and no subaffiliate stats at UB backend right now.

4. Mansion - switching networks...reducing bonuses...inconsistent support...banners often not working...affiliate stats taking forever to update...site down a lot.

5. Bodog - newbodog - bodoglife - enough said.

6. PokerAffiliate - not paying most affiliates - especially US players. Almost impossible to get ahold of support.

7. PartyPartners - hardly any support. Some tracking issues last month.

8. EuroPartners - history of tracking issues..but actually reliable as of late in comparison to others!

9. PDC - conversions seem to be diving. Is it Carbon? Is it Poker.com? Why do all payments have to go to player account?

10. PokerHeaven - Euros, dollars, rubels, oh my....


Is there really any need to go on??

And this is only SOME of what is up lately...most of these programs lack US players....bonus codes....and other features of a great affiliate program!

Are they just TOO BUSY to add features/correct issues that are troubling affiliates? Do they not have the man/woman power? Why all the problems/lack of support lately?

I for one just don't understand...they have such a great resource out there (us) and are really NOT TAKING ADVANTAGE.

Sorry for the rant, but the last 3 months have been really annoying from an affiliate point of view and I am not even talking about REVENUE...just program support and backends!

Any other opinions out there? I think this would make a good discussion starter!
