Can this forum be saved? Casino Affiliate Programs (CAP) may find itself Blacklisted

February 11, 2009
Anyone who has been reading the Online Casino Affiliate Forums in the last several weeks couldn't help but see the upset and angry cry from many affiliates and other industry members. Articles such as this one are popping up all over webmaster sites in hopes that the Owners of CAP - Lou and Warren - will finally become transparent for their members and Affiliate Partners. Only then will the pressure subside from this boiling steam pot.

Let's see if we can break down the multi-layered digressions that have recently come to light thanks to investigations by the Gambling Portal Webmasters Association (GPWA) and The Association of Players, Casinos & Webmasters (APCW).

Conflict of Interest

Perhaps the most pertinent and disturbing fact uncovered in a five part video series, done by the investigative team at APCW and GPWA, is the relationship between Casino Affiliate Programs and CardSpike, an online poker room. CAP owns and operates Effective Media, which in turn operates the affiliate program for CardSpike. It has also been revealed that Effective Media runs the Absolute Slots affiliate program. Absolute Slots is a Rival Gaming Casino. It should be noted that Absolute Slots Casino is a quality casino.

As you may be aware, running an online casino affiliate forum and not disclosing these facts are deceptive to affiliates and other affiliate programs as well.  

These two online gambling sites were promoted at CAP with no disclosure causing many to cry foul. In fact, it creates a Conflict of Interest on many levels. To date, some Poker Affiliates have not received their earnings from CardSpike after several months. Below are links to the video series which will clearly outline the connection in a five part series:

Fingers in the Pie?

To this date, there has not been full disclosure on which Affiliate Programs are run by Effective Media. We know that Absolute Slots is run by Effective Media. Their is a forum for this program on CAP. However, CAP does not disclose this information in their forum that CAP has a finger in the pie at Absolute Slots. Are there others? There is no way to tell. The purpose of this article is to bring some transparency to the reader to form his or her own opinions on which programs to use and approach with caution.


CAP Certification Deemed Useless

Casino Affiliate Programs pay exorbitant fees to CAP to have a forum on the board. Programs also receive a 'Certification' Seal. In fact, according to reports, CAP generates Millions (plural) per year. Causing need for policing by the casino industry. That is just for the CAP forum entity, never mind the other endeavors. This has been the target of demands for restructure by many members of the Affiliate world for some time now.

Casino Affliate Programs claim the following:

 The CAP Certification Process is held in the highest regard among industry experts, and is designed to protect the integrity of affiliates and the online gaming industry as a whole.
 

In fact, many believe that unless a program is blatantly rogue, the only requirement for programs to be 'Certified' by CAP is by paying the fee. This is unhealthy for the industry as newer affiliates will view these 'Certified Partners' as if they are endorsed by CAP and/or it's community. Many fear this will cause far reaching damage to the Online Gambling Industry.


The CAP 'Banning Frenzy'


For a large entity that butters their bread via affiliates visiting their forum, another bone of contention is the way these affiliates are treated. The offenses imposed on affiliates and affiliate programs are too numerous for Gambling Mojo to cover in one article. Here are some examples supported by facts.

There appears to be a mass amount of Bannings as shown in a poll done here by Michael Corfman of the GPWA:

What Do You Think of the CAP Banning Frenzy?

Instances of logging into members account and pretending to be the member and posting without the members permission as seen here in a PDF file:

Accusations and proof of Affiliate Media (owned by the same owners of CAP) attempted hacking into a competitors forum:

Can this forum be saved? Gambling Mojo hopes so! Only time and transparency will tell. Sadly, some feel it is already to late.
