Great to see all the good stuff coming from CasinoShare here. Promoting Playshare Partners, as well as playing at their casinos has been a positive experience for me.
One thing I'd like to see improved on, and is not mentioned here in the audit is the actual payment date. Sure their target date for affiliate payments might be the 15th. But normally, payments are a day or two late. Not once in awhile, but most of the time. Last month they paid very early, which was nice with Christmas and all. I can tell you that today is the 15th and I have not received my payment yet.
Otherwise, Playshare is great! They do pay players out lightening fast. And I feel comfortable with my stats at Playshare Partners. Either they have a good retention team, or their stats just work better. Because they seem to keep my players playing. :)

Please enter you when you receive payments and we will report the actual payouts on further audit reports. We will see when payments come in this month.
Last month reported Playshare payout:

Thanks,

I'll do that Anthony. I just clicked on the link you left and am a little confused. All this time I thought that payment reporting at GPWA was done through Affiliate Guard Dog's system, just like his Term Alerts. So I've only been reporting payments at AGD thinking it was also being shown at GPWA.
Looking at it now through your link, it seems I assumed wrong all this time. GPWA's payment reporting is separate then AGD's?
I will post my payments on both sites now that I see they're not the same.

I was under the impression the information was shared. I will ask the powers that be on Monday.
