I have threatened casinos advertising on my sites to remove scumware or face removal. One casino contacted Whenu who stated they could not untarget my portal so they decided to remove all scumware. I have had a phonecall this morning, saying they are to reduce the commission they are paying on my players as they are finding the affiliate route an expensive one now they are not receiving traffic from WhenU and Gator.
So.. its looks like they'll go and they'll start up with scumware again as they dont have enough affiliates bringing them in good revenue. This means they'll target me until they are blue in the face and take players for free. It leaves me wondering if I should start my own scumware campaign (i hate to say it) and target the casinos that have taken my players for the last 6 months.
Although it lines the pockets of the guys behind this whole thing, it seems like they're forcing me to work with them or accept loss of players in the future.
I'm sure other affs must have had these thoughts at some stage?
