Here is an interesting read on how "we" are being cheated by various affiliate programs...

Sounds far-fetched, but some of it "could" be true!

This article is so stupid, that it's almost funny...

That article was lifted verbatim from casinoaffiliatefrauds.com.

Even though the article says in the first line that it's based on "extensive research, real tests, reporting, a large number of complains, investigation", there is really nothing in the article but unsupported accusations.

I'd prefer not to link directly to the article, but I'll post the link with an x in front of it if someone's interested in reading it.

BTW, saying "some of it could be true" is such an anonymous statement. You could say that about last week's issue of Weekly World News too, but it wouldn't make the publication any more credible.

What a horrible... massive horrible article. I am convinced that this massive article was written by organized mental midgets in Junior High school.

Without a doubt, this is the most unprofessional and uncorroborated article ever written. They need to use a thesaurus as well. The word massive is used over 20 times.

Duplicate post...please delete.

Hey Randy, is there a feature that allows us to delete our own posts within a certain time? That would be helpful.

LOL...when I saw it and skimmed through it, I was sure some of you would be entertained by it.

It;s just mind boggling how morons prove they are morons time and again. Look at the stupid math involving affiliate payments. Can anyone actually be so stupid as to not understand that when casino revenues are 7% of an operation that casino affiliate payments do not represent 100% of affiliate payments?

"Do your own mathematics..."

LOL, I guess he means 2+3=$152,045.73 is his own mathematics.

More seriously though, this does reflect how the business models of these major companies has led to them being in business with an enormous number of inept, complete idiots.

It's utter nonsense and has no credibility. It offers no sources to back up any of the claims.
