Program Reputation

Player Issues – Winfest Casino operate on the Danguad license. Operators associated with this license have been repeatedly associated with highly questionable activities, including changing terms after player wins to justify non-payment, claiming that a player exceeded the maximum allowed bet in a manner that was physically impossible, accepting wagers from a jurisdiction they could not pay out winnings to and sending abusive communications to this service.

That this license holder not only seem to provide no oversight into their licensees activities, but seems to attract operators that are prepared to engage in these types of activities leaves us with no option other than to view any operator associated with this license as high risk for players.

Affiliate Issues – We are not aware of any unresolved affiliate issues with Winfest Affiliates.

Conclusion

With a mind toward players the fact that Winfest is tied to the Danguad Limited license is a big red flag for us. This is mitigated somewhat by the fact that the group appears to have its own MGA license but should still be considered.

Moving on to their affiliate terms, unfortunately the picture doesn’t get any prettier. Winfest Affiliates carry a Minimum Activity Quota – this means that once you send players to this program, you are then handcuffed to continuing to promote the operator if you want to receive the full value for your historic referrals. The more players you send the more significant the loss if you ever need to drop this partner. We don’t recommend affiliates work with any program that carries this type of term. They are a hazard to the affiliates earnings and, specifically in the case of review sites, incentivise affiliates to deliver non-accurate material to the players they serve.

This affiliate program is recommended
