“In the event of no negative carry over and that an Affiliate has a player that has won more than $25,000 (a “Big Winners”) in a single month which causes the Affiliates overall earnings to be negative, Gambling Wages reserves the right to contact the Affiliate and temporarily remove the Big Winner from the Affiliates Channel (herein known as “Virtual fencing”). The formula that Gambling Wages will use to determine if a player has won more than $25,000 is on Net winnings less Total Approved Withdrawals less Bonuses from the first of the month until midnight on the last day of the month. The following outlines the Virtual fencing process:

a. In the event that a player wins over $25,000 causing the referring Affiliates earnings to be negative at month’s end, that player will be temporarily removed or Virtual fenced from under the Affiliate, until which time the Big Winner has lost back their winnings.

b. Earnings from the current month will be retained by the Affiliate, as the Big Winner will be virtual fenced in the month in which the win occurred.

c. Once the negative net win from the Big Winner is recouped, they will be returned to the Affiliate to earn off future positive net win.”

Programs Reputation

Player Issues – The GamblingWages properties are made up of remnants of the old Virtual group of casinos. This group was widely considered to be one of the worst groups in the business generating very large volumes of player complaints.

More recently both GamblingWages and the other half of the Virtual group Ace Revenue have made very public commitments to rectifying the problems of the past and turning their ship around. Many operators have made similar claims in that past that have not lived up to the talk. GamblingWages are beginning to look legitimate however. Since the claim was made at the end of 2013 complaints have dropped off significantly and those that do come in are being dealt with appropriately.

We’ve set a target of 3 years before ThePOGG.com would consider changing the GamblingWages properties status.

Affiliate Issues – We are aware of no unresolved affiliate issues at any major affiliate portals.

Conclusion

Given the level of problems the GamblingWages group caused both players and affiliates in the past, for our personal taste some more time spent demonstrating the their good intentions is required before they become trusted. Given that 2 years have passed since there were any significant issues we can understand other affiliates who feel enough time has already passed.

As far as terms and conditions go, GamblingWages have friendly affiliate terms that give us no significant reason for concern.
