Hi,

My rent is due, Cplanet owes me….0….still pending and its the 20th. Sent a message to Ben….no answer.

I am sooooo sick of being ignored by AMS!!…..This is the only earnings i made this month…and its late…why?…..

Just needed to vent, sorry to complain….but my landlord doesn’t care why i don’t have his money, just wants to know when he’s getting it…..and when i tell him that i expect payment to be sent by the 15th….because those are the terms of this company…..then i shouldn’t be made to look like a liar!….Granted alll whole bunch of programs do this crap….but when you pretend to be better than other programs and want affiliates to promote you….then live up to your end of the damn agreement!…I am sooooo sick of this crap month after month with so many aff. programs it makes them all look like crap places.

Hello
I have a question about becoming an affliliate for a Casino. with all the laws rules there are im kind of confused about something. Ive read about the new gambling laws that were implanted in 2006. my question is this, can i become an affiliate for a Casino that is either here in the united states, or overseas and market there site to make commissions? or is that illeagal to do in the united states? And how would i be paid?

Thank You
Thomas John

Due to all negative post regarding Rival itself and due to posts regarding all Casinos powered by Rival, i decided to email Rival and bring you answers you are expecting.

I wand to precise that Rival is aware about this post and allowed me to post in AGD this email below.

I hope that it will help you to understand exactly the situation

Hi,

Here is the answers to your questions:

Rival operators audit their own affiliate payments, this includes “White Labels”. Rival’s white label partner, Bonne Chance NV will process the payments on behalf of the operator only after such time that an operator approves the payment. Operators (WL and Standard), are fully responsible for their own affiliate payments, Bonne Chance NV has no financial interests in the amounts or style of commission paid to the affiliate.

Rival does not financially benefit from any decision made on progressive deductions, bad deposits or seizures. Though most online Casinos in the industry do apply such a deduction, Rival asked its operators to consider all the recent issues and provide their desired solution so that Rival could technically implement it. Each operator will decide how they want to deal with each issue, it is not a Rival decision nor does Rival benefit from any decision(s) made.

Player payments are processed based on the protocols set forth by each operator. Each operator has varying protocols that are adhered to by the processing team at Bonne Chance NV. These protocols range from types of document requests, days spent in reversal period or player class. I am unaware of any overall delays in player processing but I am aware of some outstanding operator delayed affiliate payments. It’s operator delayed, not Rival delayed. They must be still reviewing them. Nothing to do with Rival.

Processor Seizures: The US facing gaming industry is a risky environment. Prominent industry processors had funds seized by Mastercard. This was US gaming industry wide. Any operator that allows US customers should have experienced challenges recently. The processors are currently negotiating fines and there is a chance some funds will be recovered. This is a work in progress.

Checks: Check payments were initiated by a processor in Germany that had ties to banks in the US. The checks would post as completed but no more information was provided by the processor. The American counter-part ended up being investigated by authorities and of course some checks weren’t honored. Obtaining this information was a challenge and there were some delays with player withdrawals affected by this. There was no way to verify whether a check was cashed or not.

Processors: Rival has a team dedicated to integrating new APIs, but processors are sometimes slow to respond to integration related questions. It may sometimes take 1-2 days for each question to get answered. Rival has been working with important processors for both the EU and US market but it sometimes takes many days to get simple questions answered. Processor integrations rarely go smoothly. This is a top priority for both Rival and its operators, Rival has no reason to delay processor integrations.

Lastly, I would like to mention that many posts on the forum blame Rival directly though many (if not all) of the issues posted are related to decisions made by its operating partners. Affiliates should know that Rival is a software provider and does not control its operators protocols.

Warm regards,

**Rival Gaming**

This may have already been posted here in the past but lets do a new one and see what everyone’s thoughts are now. ;D

Question: When you give out a free money bonus, no matter the size, what percentage of your player sign-ups (on average) actually come back and become regular depositing players at XYZ Casino?

Operators and Affiliate Managers are welcome to respond as well. I think it would be better for us all to get a clearer picture on the Free Money Bonuses and how they affect the bottom line or are they just useless?

This is my 1st post of many to come I am sure (hope)

Wowzeers looks like I have my work cut out for me, I know Rival has been getting a bashing over the past few weeks (maybe months) but I hope that I can work well enough to make sure that 21 Grand Casino is not included in any of this bashing.

As for 21 Grand Casino, we have in house customer service that is on line 24/7 and will be bringing the payment system in house, (over the next few months) if all goes to plan,

Looking forward to hopefully some good posts, feedback and hints n tips!!

Welcome to 23 Partners! 23 Partners is one of the few Rival Casinos that are not deducting progressive contributions and are not deducting processor confiscations from affiliates!

Hi all :emoticon-0128-hi:

I have decided to set up a little survey…. There are only 9 questions, there are no right or wrong answers and you are not
forced to answer any of the questions.

It’s purely for my (or your account manager’s) own information and just to get to know you a bit better.

So, if you feel you are ready to take some time-out, please send me an email, (or a PM) for the link to the
survey and I will send it to you (almost) immediately).

Because that’s how I roll ;D
