The saga of an associates program that didn’t work
I got here throughout the idea to *personal* a on line casino in March. I seemed on the
varied provides, rigorously researched, checked for dangerous references and
lastly made a variety.
Readymade casinos, linked to home windows on line casino appeared to be the most effective
possibility. It was the appropriate kind of on line casino,good video games, quick obtain
and it might not cripple the payment, even in weak South African Rand,
changing to US Greenback.
I made the payment with baited breath after deciding on the related
name and pores and skin, trying ahead to some monetary return,
though being reasonable sufficient to not anticipate to turn out to be *wealthy* in a single day.
Little did I understand what horror and frustration was ready forward…
My first e-mail acquired thanked me for becoming a member of them. To date so good.
I checked that the assorted lists labored, and requested some associates
to obtain the sport, with a purpose to see if the *real time* stats labored.
These associates had by no means heard of Home windows on line casino, By no means gambled
on line, so no cookie might stop them downloading through *my*
on line casino, to be assigned to another person.
Or so I assumed. In spite of everything, each e-mail instructed me to not *hesitate*
asking in the event that they could possibly be of help.
The stats didn’t change. I despatched off an e-mail to Anna and requested
about this as assured that my quantity would work if individuals performed
for real cash. I used to be instructed to uninstall any model of Home windows on line casino
I had, reboot, refresh, obtain and examine once more.
The stats didn’t change as they need to.
On the ninth of August,I mailed my useful one who ready *my*
on line casino, and instructed him that I needed to run a contest, to
boost the native curiosity within the new website. He instructed me to talk to Anna.
She was very good when she replied one week later and even advised
that she would hold an inventory of anybody who enrolled through my website,
in order that the draw may gain advantage real gamers.
I used to be mailing, writing, marketing the positioning in real life and on the
Web, utilizing all of the books I acquired through the acquisition and shopping for
varied others.
The stats didn’t change as they need to.
I mailed Readymade and Home windows casinos on the seventeenth of August and voiced
my concern concerning the websites. I acquired an e-mail again, saying all is properly
and to not fear.
The stats didn’t change.
I mailed once more on the nineteenth of August, apologizing to being a pest. The stats
weren’t reflecting any change. Once more I used to be assured every thing was was examined.
Home windows huge on line casino wouldn’t hurt me.
The competitors began on the 22 nd of August and I mailed Anna to ask
her opinion. She favored the idea.
Writing extra articles, marketing the positioning through e-mail and the Web,
I made a decision to attempt to belief to some extent. I requested a really good
web designer ( he wins worldwide awards for his work),
to arrange a mirror website for me with a purpose to see what visitors
we drove to Home windows on line casino every day, as I did not
need to bother Anna day by day.
The stats on my web page didn’t change, despite the fact that it confirmed tons of
of individuals clicking the positioning, answering the competitors query.
We might hint them to the purpose of clicking *obtain*.
The Home windows on line casino stats didn’t change.
I made a decision to attend till the fifteenth of September earlier than checking the stats
once more. In spite of everything, twice earlier than I used to be assured every thing was positive.
The stats had not modified in any respect. I spoke to my web grasp who mirrored
the visitors as much as the purpose of consumers clicking to obtain the Home windows
on line casino recreation. He stated it was IMPOSSIBLE. I mailed Anna.
Hello Anna
I’ve waited till after the 15 th of September earlier than I checked your
information for any individuals downloading the on line casino software program through my affiliate web page.
As you understand we operating a contest and with my web grasp’s talent
I can really hold monitor of precisely how many individuals , that’s UNIQUE
hyperlinks or individuals I despatched to the door of the place they obtain the
software program out of your web page.
At first I questioned the counting of appropriate clicks.
Now I’m very involved.
I’m going to cite you figures after which I would love you to go the
the web page the place I examine my information at your on line casino and see that one thing
very severe is fallacious.
*297 distinct hyperlinks to the obtain web page updated.
and distinct could possibly be greater than 1 particular person on the identical IP
*in line with our script that information each click on to the obtain –
*we despatched you 1389 who was on the positioning.*
You truthfully need to inform me solely 9 of these individuals , of which 8 are associates

comfort, or name me

linked to home windows on line casino as a result of I bought a prepared made on line casino from you.

Readymade replied:
I’d ignore the clicking although stats. The press by way of
stats is a common concern for the brand new associates of
Home windows who promote by way of a protracted distinctive hyperlink not for
Prepared Made On line casino house owners. The gamers that go to a
Prepared Made On line casino web website don’t have to
click on by way of, they will obtain and play straight from
the web website.
Since your associates are utilizing the sensible obtain
hyperlinks in your web website and bypassing the principle Home windows
website the “variety of click on by way of s” are irrelevant
and would usually present ‘0’. Click on throughs additionally don’t
mirror clicks to your web website.
I breathed a sigh of relief. Issues WOULD be alright.
The stats didn’t change.
I mailed Readymade once more.. ( Home windows on line casino did not reply to my e-mail)
I’m nonetheless not glad about this. I do not get replies from home windows on line casino,
I do know Anna could be very busy. Are you telling me that if somebody searched the
web, have a cookie on their laptop, and did not delete it, after which after
that click on on to home windows on line casino hyperlink VIA my website, that it’s going to not
present and due to this fact I wont be given the affiliate profit?
I did not get a reply about this..
And.. the stats didn’t mirror the visitors despatched to Home windows
on line casino through *my* on line casino.
Anna responded on the 22 nd of September. She apologized for taking so lengthy.
I used to be instructed that my web grasp had made a mistake. Impulsively the
cookie was not mirrored within the mirror website. This could not have
mattered as a result of most visitors got here by way of the unique website. He mailed,
I mailed. They responded. On a regular basis : Not our fault.
I didn’t imagine this. I requested him to examine and he did.
The issue was not in his coding.
In all instances the redirect (TrackDownload.dll?) on THEIR server
doesn’t embody ANY affiliate ID.
My script passes the URL redirect by way of to the shoppers browser UNALTERED.
That is trade customary http 1.0 protocol!
This is not going to even have an effect on a cookie or referer based mostly monitoring system as
the shoppers browser does all of the speaking.
I’ll change it again to the “official” hyperlink nonetheless I do not see
this fixing the issue. Even earlier than the script was put in place
it was not counting downloads.
The home windows stats didn’t change.
I used to be feeling panic. I had labored for 20 hours , for nearly a month.
Was all of this in useless?
Time and again I requested for phone particulars. I felt {that a} convention
name might resolve the issue. I used to be instructed that Anna doesn’t take or
do telepohne calls by the assist of Home windows on line casino on 22 September..
Readymade casinos additionally wouldnt provide a phone quantity, despite the fact that I
requested for one, and equipped my very own quantity. I WAS PREPARED to pay for the decision!
On the 22 nd of September.. one month and fourteen days after
I voiced concern about this drawback ( and please think about that the mirror website did not
EXIST presently) my drawback was forwarded to technical assist.
The stats had modified barely.
Once more Readymade casinos and Anna blamed the mirror website.
I agreed to have the unique website loaded once more. We checked it.
My web grasp despatched me a display screen shot displaying that while it LOOKS as if the cookie goes by way of,
it really is clean. They did not appear to grasp the makings of this.
I mailed it to Mark and Anna.. and once more I used to be assured that the stats could be appropriate.
After which, I requested my boyfriend to go online through the positioning DESIGNED
by Readymade casinos,for me, and INSTALL this system.
And.. he signed up as a REAL participant…
I mailed Anna his particulars, asking for PROOF, that this enroll was
assigned to me as STILL THE STATS didn’t change!
She could not.
That is what I acquired.twenty sixth September:
“It isn’t advisable to ask anybody to play for real cash till you
are 100% positive that the stats work. If a cookie was set beforehand on
your participant’s laptop you will not be referred.”
They lastly understood what I used to be ON about! All my work, frustration
as a result of I couldn’t cope with Home windows on line casino OR Readymade, besides
through e-mail or icq when you fortunate. down the drain. The competitors was operating.
Nobody confirmed as signing on for a real account by way of my affiliate.
Not even my boyfriend.
On the twenty eighth of September RTG got here again and acknowledged that
this account was not assigned to me.
Readymade on line casino now saidit was a home windows drawback. I spotted with shock
and horror that I used to be not going to win this one. And.. I could not even
phone anybody about it.
I made a decision to make use of my mirror website and use one other on line casino to attempt to
regain a few of my losses. I mailed among the OPT in addresses
I had through a PHP server which my web grasp arrange for me and mailed out an
invite to take a look at the brand new website.
Always did I hold a detailed examine that not ONE e-mail was
mailed greater than as soon as. The invite was brief, ten strains, with a
place to subscribe and unsubscribe in line with e-mail Spam guidelines.
I commented a few unusual intruder on my laptop. The handle was
triton.ws2900.web. I had a Trojan on my laptop in line with my firewall.
I went for a complete REINSTALL of home windows. It blocked this handle since then Sa36.
I acquired no additional e-mail concerning the *cookie* drawback from
Anna till the thirtieth. She supplied me a brand new affiliate quantity and
I handed it on to Readymade casinos. They modified the cookie.
My mirror website was not linked to the unique website because the 26 of September.
But..The stats remained zero after the slight change on the twenty sixth.
I’ve to ship a prize to some that had by no means made me any cash
from all my effort.
Some particular person complained that I *spammed* them. I did not. NO e-mail
was despatched to me both from the server or through Readymade
casinos about this grievance.
My account was suspended. No purpose. Simply Suspended.
I did not even know on which server it was hosted till I referred to as
the company I paid at initially.
As soon as once more, my web grasp was blamed. Emails handed backward and forward between
Readymade and the web grasp.. sure I do have the copies…
And in the long run, all I acquired for a month of arduous work, was a refund of a
few greenback for the remaining months, ( November, Dec and January) Though we had been
simply barely in October.
I acquired an e-mail from Anna, to say she is sorry, why was home windows no
longer the obtain accessible on the website.Learn the story Anna,
THAT is why your on line casino doesn’t characteristic on my affiliate listing anymore.
THAT is why each websites now refer clients some other place.
Even once you didn’t reply to this e-mail..and the stats by no means modified.
