Partnerlogic Affiliate Question

I have already posted this thread on gpwa.org but would like some further input. Partnerlogic please do not respond as you have given me enough information!

Out of my 12 signed up Affiliates programs thus far, one big question pops up when dealing with Partnerlogic.

They have told me that before I can retrieve any commission I need to
make a one time deposit on my affiliate account to the value of $/€/£
10. Obviously this can be withdrawn with my commission but I would like
to know if this type of practice is common?

Why would you have to make a deposit into any affiliate account?

My sentiments exactly POMP. They say this deposit process simply acts as a verification of the account.

I quote:
Bear in mind that you will only ever have to 'deposit' once just as a authentication of the account at no actual expense to the affiliate as you receive your commission + the 10 unit deposit in full. Once this is done you can just withdraw each month as normal.

My reply tho is:
I am sure there are other ways for verification when the account has just opened as opposed to doing verification once the new affiliate has generated revenue for the casino.
Fair enough we get the money back but to reiterate on my first sentence, verification should be done when the account is opened and forcing the new affiliate to deposit some cash should not be a means of verification.

I've actually never heard of this... but I've not been marketing affiliate programs for quite a while now. Anyone else?

Ive certainly never seen it anywhere.
Understand it if it was a player account.

Proof of address and photo id is usuall requirement.

Partnerlogic has usually been a solid, trustworthy program. I am curious as to what they have to say about this.

Hi All,

Your input about this has been taken on board here at PartnerLogic. Although this 'deposit' process was initially for security reasons, we agree that this method is not the most attractive to affiliates and have decided to act on it.

As such, I can confirm that we will be removing this requirement from the registration process shortly.

In addition, we will soon be making other significant improvements to our services and technology for members of the PartnerLogic affiliate programme. Once these changes have been implemented, I will let you all know so you can all start reaping the rewards!

Thanks, Tom

That is great news Tom. You just created an outstanding impression for yourself and your organization. I am really impressed from your efforts and attendance on the topic.

Thank you! I am waiting in anticipation for your official response of this change.

Hi All,

It took a while, but as promised, as of May 2nd we will no longer have this 'deposit' process. We are launching a whole new site and a fantastic new back end with all the features possible.

You can find all the details for this here - http://www.gpwa.org/forum/partnerlogic-important-news-197101.html

I know this is an old thread, but I hadn't forgotten about it!

Thanks,

Tom

Quality work as usual, Tom =0)

The APCW forums haven't really been active since our Casino City merger, but it says a lot about you and your program that you stuck with this thread and followed up!
