A special report has been released on the large extent of frauds taking place with casino affiliate programs. These are controlled by organized crime operators. Extensive research, real tests, investigations and several complaints have been compiled over the last 8 years. This information has been released by game developers, directors, officers, accountants and programmers. Technical support, sales teams, marketing companies and their licensees are other sources from whom valuable information has been received and compiled. This report confirms that casino affiliate programs do not track real sales properly. 99% to 100% of the sales were not tracked at all leaving the innocent affiliates cheated and robbed. As per figures on the online gambling industry, affiliates get cheated by over a billion dollar each year. Apart from casino licensees, several marketing companies also run dishonest casino affiliate programs which are again based on fraud and cheating. Gamblingmagazine.com reports:
Their entire business models are based on frauds, and nothing else than frauds, and we are certain about this becuase there is no possible doubt about it. Very naive affiliates wrongly think that bigger is bigger, so they signed up with the bigger companies, including many publinc companies.
Gambling has always been marred by a lot of irregularities. Casinos have devised ways to reduce the number of cheating incidents in casinos. However, the players are not the only guilty party in this activity. More often, casinos likewise cheat to pacify players that win everytime. Given these circumstances, other institutions take their roles in preserving the decency of every games played.

I have to say there is some truth in the article, although it is quite exagerated, and offers no proof.
The bottom line for me is that gambling affiliate make a good living.
Sure, it would be nice if we had access to the backends to be sure we were paid what we were due - but someone remarked once that, if every player were tracked precisely, the commission rates would most likely be dropped to reflect the new reality.
6 of one, half dozen of the other.
