Affiliates should be aware of the following term:

You acknowledge and agree that: (i) discrepancies may occur with respect to the calculation of the number of players referred through mobile devices, and you waive any or all claims against us or our designated appointee in this regard, and (ii) you will not be paid any payments with respect to blocked players or players that were not promptly verified in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.

Given that the market is becoming more and more dominated by mobile traffic, not being able to accurately track mobile traffic is a significant failure that will negatively impact affiliates.

Player Issues – The Iconic Bingo Affiliate properties are part of the 888.com group. This group have an extensive list of player issues:

• Multiple failures to engage with 3rd party dispute mediation.
• Confiscation of winnings based on vague terms and conditions.
• Confiscation of winnings due to playing at multiple properties within the extended 888 white label network, without giving the player clear guidance regarding which properties they operate. This extends to both bonus play and self-exclusions.

Affiliate Issues – The 888 group has been documented enforcing the general account closure term seemingly because an affiliate was earning significant revenue but was not generating enough new leads. It should be noted that it’s likely the affiliate was generating enough leads that the operator could not enforce the more specific Minimum Activity Quota detailed below otherwise that term would appear to be more relevant.

In late 2014 an affiliate was found to be engaged in large scale hacking of WordPress sites. They were using security loopholes to access the sites then uploading a page of casino reviews. All affiliate programs have clear terms and conditions prohibiting this type of marketing. While some affiliate programs managed to shut this affiliate down quickly and stopped appearing on the hacked sites quickly, other programs either failed to stop the affiliate from opening new accounts or simply didn’t shut down the original accounts.

The 888 group of casinos turned up regularly on these sites long after other operators had managed to stop appearing.

Conclusion

The player issue with 888 and their white label partners make us very uncomfortable.

Putting that aside and looking only at the affiliate terms and conditions offered by 888 Affiliates there’s a host of reasons not to work with this program. A short summary follows below:

• Negative Carryover policies – if your players have a win large enough to create a significant negative balance for you, this creates a situation where you no longer have any incentive to carry on marketing the program’s brands. This leads to a short-term mind set to working relationship between the affiliate and the program.
• Mobile referral data disclaimer – Mobile traffic now makes up the majority of internet usage. Not being able to track mobile referrals accurately is simply unacceptable for an affiliate.
• Minimum Activity Quota – This type of term handcuffs the affiliate to the operator regardless of what the operator chooses to do with their brand if the affiliate wants to receive the full value of their historic referrals.

Even if we forget all about the player issues and look only at the affiliate terms, Iconic Bingo Affiliates aren’t attractive. This isn’t a group we’d recommend affiliates work with.
