In my own understanding and opinion, Moneypot is not an Affiliate Program but rather a Partnership. I must admit that there is a thin line between the two. So here is why I think MP is not an Affiliate Program:
> In an Affiliate program or also called Referral program, the affiliate/referrer does not control how much payment they get per referred user.
> In an affiliate program, you are referring someone out of your own marketing strategy and the merchant does not care if u refer a user or not.
> In an affiliate program, you are prohibited to refer your self, and most of the time it is base on ip address or per user per household.
> In an affiliate program, usually there are 4 basic parties, the merchant, the product, the affiliate and the customer. While you might consider MP as the merchant, it is not, as MP does not sell anything, the use of MP's services are free of charge.
Why I consider it as a Partnership Program:
> App owners are treated as partners(most of the time
) and earns commission from the wagers they send to MP, whether it be a losing or a winning bet.
> Unlike in an Affiliate program, MP relies most of its income/loses from Apps making the App and the App's owners a vital part of MP.
> An app can control how much 'edge' they can put on their app, therefor giving them some kind of control over how much commission they get.
> An app owner is not prohibited from playing from their own app, as this does not changes or affects anything, the outcome of each bets cannot be controlled to favor the app owner. App owner can only control how much house edge they put on their app, and the lower the house edge, the lower the commission they get. MP does not accept bets that are -ev for the bankroll or in favor of the player.
> Apps are in some way also marketed by MP it self, by showing apps on MP site, allowing advertising of promos on MP thread etc..(i know some ppl will bring up preferential treatment issue, that's a story for some other day).
> MP currently does not sell any product nor requires any payment to use our service. Tho MP do take commissions per bet per edge, but that falls on the Investment side of MP.
People may say that the statements i just said are either arguable or debatable in its sense, but for me, MP is way more than an affiliate program, and offers a lot more opportunities than an affiliate program.
Again, this is just my own opinion on MP, and I'm only stating this in behalf of my self and no one else.

I'm totaly agreed with Uni, Moneypot its not a services site to do people code less and then control every single function for the end app owner, moneypot shut and is a pretty nice partner ship between casino ownsers and the investors a nice partner ship there shut be take care of and hold focus on that option not to developer functions for the app owners websites.
Thats what i think its nice to see what people can create and make to inspire orther app-owners, to push the limit of what there are posibule to make and not to make,
