They pulled a classic "bait and switch," promising one thing and then reneging a few months later. This was done out of pure greed, or because the company is having financial difficulties.

-snip-
I cant blame them though, as it is their own right to change everything based on the traffic we make from the affiliate program.

It would be fair from them to say : " from now on the percentage on your affiliate will be reduced to xx% " but they should maintain untouched the one they advertised originally because that was the agreement on which it was born and the agreement had taken hold.

There's definitley nothing wrong with changing or lowering commission percentage, but the thing is, first of all at the start of their affiliate program they should point out that the commission rate is not fixed and can/will be changed, and even after that every participant should be notified about every single change in this rate by whatever medium they use for communicating with their users.

I really don't know what happened to this case but as I read their terms and conditions they stated in Miscellaneous and other significant terms that "FortuneJack reserves the right to amend, cancel, reclaim, or refuse any promotion at our discretion." so technically they can change the rules whenever they want.

They must abide the rules to their affiliates before creating a new one.

Since it is stated in their terms and conditions then they have the right to amend or cancel any promotion offered on their site. It it there before the player and user who registers an account with them has to confirm they understand these terms before they are allowed to complete registration.
So I dont see anything coming out of it if they decide to fight them for their affiliation payments.

In January 2019, FortuneJack forced unfair, retroactive terms and conditions onto their affiliate marketing partners in a very sneaky way. They tried to paint it in a positive light, with a subject line that read, "Become a Member of Club40!" Sounds cool, right?

Wrong. The devil is in the details, and after taking a close look at the fine print, it's clear that "Club40" is nothing but a big, greasy turd.

Under the original terms and conditions, an affiliate of FortuneJack would earn at least 25% from their referred players. This was a fair deal -- pretty standard in the industry for a starting rate.

With Club40 -- which seemed like a choice, but was actually the name of their mandatory new commission structure -- most affiliates will earn only 10% on their referred players.

But it gets worse. This extremely low rate isn't just for any new players sent after Club40 went into effect. It applies to all players ever sent, including those referred under the previous T&Cs where the affiliate was supposed to earn at least 25% for the life of the player.

This is a classic bait and switch, and certainly not the way an ethical, professional company should behave. This is why we have rogued them here, and this is why FortuneJack is rogue at Affiliate Guard Dog as well.

In addition to the above, FortuneJack is refusing to pay commissions to their affiliates. You can read about them refusing to pay at least one affiliate in the thread above (in post #3).

Making one-sided retroactive changes to a contract is never acceptable, and refusing to pay what they owe is a big red flag.

Avoid FortuneJack at all costs.

Even if your terms and conditions say one thing, it still doesn't mean that you can retroactively change them. If you were supposed to be paid one thing, and then months later (when your due to get your affiliate payment) the terms are changed and you're told your being paid less, then that's a scam.

Yeah, so they didn't break any rules or made any mistake then, the participants in their affiliate programs should've read the rules before applying, unless they added that part recently...

I know that many users may find this unfair even tough it was stated in the rules, but this is really how it works, when these websites start their programs before being known they have the best rates in almost everything but gradually they decrease or even remove some of their futures that attracted most of their users in the first place, it's not something happening only in betting websites, almost every business works like that when it comes to marketing.

Some members are heavily promoting FJ. I have asked them to stop that but seems like they care only about the money they get.

You haven't asked anyone to remove their signature. Instead you left negative feedback based on an accusation.

As FJ said, their game provider canceled the bet and they are waiting for their response. You are jumping to conclusions. Also, I would appreciate it if you posted from your main account.

I have noticed that you have given me a negative trust as well as Hhampuz and TheNewAnon135246. You are claiming that you have asked us to stop promoting FJ and that is not true. You have never approached me with anything. You have never asked me anything and neither have you asked TheNewAnon135246.


FJ has already told you in their post that the game provider has cancelled the bet and that an investigation is under way. So you have tagged 3 users based on an accusation, it has not been proven yet! You will notice that I haven't tagged you yet. So do the right thing and remove your tag because your claim is false until proven otherwise! If your accusation turns out to be true those who promote FJ will either remove their sigs on their own or they will be asked to do so by DTs or staff.
