Why we are not protected from scam casino affiliate companies?

Question

In those years i've tested many casino affiliate programs and i really doubt about the honesty by many of them.

The answer is why there are not some sort of supervisor sites that protect affiliates from scam companies?

GPWA forum is a very good forums that talk about affiliates and their credibility, and give good advices about them, but i think we need a more specific organization based on a strict and systematic control of these companies.

What do you think?

Answer 1

The letters "www" stand for world wide web.  Anyone on the planet can put crud on the web, and it is your responsibility to recognize crud when you see it.  

Answer 2

Before partnering with an online gambling affiliate program it is best that you do some prior research.  CAP and GPWA certified programs are a good starting point however note that these programs become certified by paying money up front so in theory anyone can get certification.

There are many good affiliate programs out there and the scam companies do not hang around.

I currently run the EarnReal.com affiliate network and believe by keeping my affiliates happy through payouts, testing of software, providing good creatives helps me out greatly in getting my name better known and as a result other affiliates onboard.

Answer 3

It would be impossible to control various affiliate programs that are often located in all four corners of the world.  The best thing to do would be to rely on the help from the good folks at the GPWA.  It would also be scary to consider the negative potential if there is an international governing body looking over the shoulders of individuals online.  Like gambling online, choosing which sites you promote requires research and common sense.
