BCGame Affiliate Program Issues

It still says the old % for everyone but it's different.

When did you notice the drop in rate? If they still don't update that in their site after a day or two of the change then they are already misleading. Another red flag.

If they refuse to communicate then I guess your only choice is to leave and take your invites with you. What they did tells people that they are on a tight budget and kinda gives the feeling that there's a chance a gambler may not get paid immediately if he happens to win big.

It's probably not their problem anymore if you don't make money out of it since they are not involved with your decision to pay bonuses to your invites. You should also adjust with the new rates.

It still says 35% on the affiliate page, but it has been decreased to 9.8%  The affiliate program is not lucrative enough for me anymore, I'm probably gonna migrate to a different site along with my referrals if BCGame still choose to ignore me.

Affiliate percentages are reduced not only for you but for everyone.I also see in my account that there is a rate of 9.8%.  So you have to accept it too. nothing to do here. So you have to deal with this if you want to earn from affiliate and choose BC.GAME site as your affiliate company. and if you think this percentage is low then you can try other sites too.

I don't know if there could be legal action for it since most of the policies they made are subject to change.

It depends how the op prefers, I see bc.game also offers a special affiliate program to influential users with a lot of followers. If it's a legally valid form of written agreement and there are some bc.game statements that could support OP retaining the reward rate term in this kind of situation, I think the OP can take legal action if he so chooses.

If bcgames reduces it, you should also cut your expenses, I don't think it looks complicated, after all, before this you might have earned a lot of money from the bcgame affiliate program and because there is a reduction you complain about it, actually you have to get used to reducing your expenses too and pay a few percent of the profits you get even less than before.

I think it's not only bcgames that it seems that there are a number of casinos that are reducing bonuses and other program prizes, maybe it's because of the declining revenue figures from casinos that they are forced to reduce the bonuses in the programs they provide for all their users. try going to their thread on the forum maybe you will get an answer from their team

Update: Just spoke with an admin, nothing he can do about it. I guess it's time I say goodbye to this site. Taking my 43 referrals and millions wagered every week along with me.

BCGame offers a really large number of games in different game categories. Even the most demanding users will be satisfied with BCGame Casino's game selection. But if we talk about the risk in this business, it is very high if you don't succeed then you will lose as much as you have invested in marketing or website. BCGame Casino has an affiliate payout structure, which allows affiliates to earn no more than 5% commission for each player brought to the site. Reducing the amount of everything, including bonuses. It could be big on BCGame if adding fiat currency support would be good for many casino users.

[dimonstration]

I have been on bc.game since a couple of years.
I have a successful affiliate campaign on there with over 40k+ commission made. But recently they decreased my affiliate percentage from 35% to 9.8% without any prior discussion or intimation.

I offer 10% to my referrals on their wager as a bonus to encourage them to use my link. Now that my affiliate % has been cut down to under 10% I virtually made 0 money on the last 4 million wagered under me as I still paid my referrals their 10%.
 It's insane how BCGame threw me under the bus like this without any discussion with me.

I think this is part of their cost cutting campaign which began with them removing rakeback completely from the site followed by now slashing affiliate percentages. I tried reaching out to BCGame staff in so many ways but to zero success.

I don't know if there's any legal or ethical grounds I can pursue here, but if anyone knows please let me know.

You literally promote self referral with your service which an indirect attempt to cheat the casino. Besides 35% is a bit high compared to the normal percentage allocated for affiliate program of many casino. The casino doesn’t have any responsibility to inform everyone for the changes since they have a small note that they can change the rules anytime.I believe this is same case with Betfury against one of the forum members here but the only difference was Betfury deducted the percentage even on bets that placed before the changes.

I doubt there’s a legal action on this matter. Check their ToS and read if there’s small note for the change of rules.

With every dollar being wagered on my referral now, I'm losing money.

Stop your service immediately because you are losing money here while casino doesn’t have any responsibilities on your losses since you are the one who offer it on your referrals.

Sad to hear that, I have nothing else to suggest since you've made your decision.
Just a small thought, with as many referrals as you claim it seems to really affect their earnings (to be honest 35% is a pretty big bonus). Let's see if there is a significant difference without your role going forward. There is a good chance that they will contact you sometime, but don't get your hopes up by it.

  -  Have you tried contacting their main ann thread here on the forum? Or in their official channel group on telegram, Twitter and others?

This issue is quite new to me to be honest. What happened to you in that matter seems like a fraud. What's surprising is why they did that without notifying you, so sometimes we can't do anything about that kind of thing. If you still don't reply to their ann thread, try to calm down the scam accusation.

[Webetcoins]

That's a pretty large percentage for a one-time cut-off and affiliates like you will obviously be affected by that, but, as the terms and conditions of every single service and platform say that they have the right to make changes whenever they want, they are not basically answerable to anyone for what they have done or are doing, though it would have made them look better if they had announced it and let their players know.

You should probably let your referrals know about the change and ask them to move with you on another platform with better affiliate commissions since you will only keep losing money this way since you get less than 10% and pay forward 10%.

[Eureka_07]

I have tried having a dialogue with the people associated with this but I haven't received as much as a reply back. They're not even willing to talk. What they have done could be legal but this is still a huge red flag for people to stay away, after all what kind of site slashes it's affiliate rates without any announcement and then refuse to speak with one of its biggest affiliate.

I don't know if there could be legal action for it since most of the policies they made are subject to change. There have been incidents like this to affiliate marketers who are not related to crypto or casino and it's the same thing that happened.

The most tedious part of this is you have to take down or edit the articles you have made to promote them. It's worse when you have a domain that is closely related to BCgame. Anyway, you have warned people already.

I highly doubt that they may face legal actions. The fact that is written right on their terms of service, the complainants would never win the case.

To the @OP, when was the last time you received your commissions?
You shouldn't receive 0 to pay your referrals. The amount you are receiving is less now, that would also be applied to the deals between you and your referrals. Give 10% of that 9.8% commission that you are getting from BCGame.

Above all, the sudden decrease too high! I will not be surprised if bcgame starts losing players.

I think you have the answer now and you have made your best decision, my advice is if you can still earn you can continue it and if you feel the site is not making any money just leave it, after all playing gambling will be better for yourself, but you are great enough to provide updates in this thread is good enough, usually people who often complain about their problems, they will just leave the thread so it is full of spam posts.

I think everything has been answered by the bcgames team and you can lock this thread and your problem is solved and solved. have a nice day with other gambling sites.

Actually he is already on negative profit here since he is giving back 10% referral commission to all of his referral while he now have 9% referral commission rate on the casino.

His option is stop his referral service so that he can still earn 9% commissions from those player that doesn’t bother the 10% rakeback for his service since most of his referral probably a high roller now due to their wager volume. Abandoning the account now will just waste all their wager and VIP rewards. I think there’s still some profit from OP if he will just discontinue his service.

After some talks and searching around the internet, I think this is just some kind of FUD. After all, just words without some evidence are not worth much. And it's what we have here...

Anything is possible in the crypto world, especially in the crypto gambling space... I guess we all are aware of that. But this time I am not convinced that OP is right, what I can say is that StudsonBudson didn't change my mind about BC.

I get that sites need to make changes here and there, but they should never mess with affiliates IMO. They want users to join their affiliate programs and bring them players, but then once they build a base they take away the revenue promised.

I'd say affiliates are a decent reason sites get traffic, why potentially take customers away from your site? Look for other ways to cut costs.

It is up to you and I think it will be a huge loss to the casino if 43 people stop playing on their site at the same time though I think it will not cause them to go bankrupt.

With every dollar being wagered on my referral now, I'm losing money.

Stop your service immediately because you are losing money here while casino doesn’t have any responsibilities on your losses since you are the one who offer it on your referrals.

It isn't  pocket money loss but a paper loss since @OP is still calculating on the previous affiliate percentage commission which is revised recently by the site.

There might be a reason for the cut-off, though we can only speculate but I believe it has something to do with cost-cutting.  It is a normal occurrence in all business establishments that once their target is reached they either remove the marketing that aids them to that success or trim down the reward just to keep rewarding their contributors.

It's hard when you compiled a lot of referrals and you are sharing your rewards with your affiliate to motivate them to continue playing, if you are going to pick another casino you'll have to build your affiliate again and promote again but that's how things go on affiliate marketing, you have no control if they want to change the terms, even top casinos are changing their terms your only choice is to also change your terms on your reward program.

[CryptSafe]

 I see bcgame to be a good and reputable casino and for a long time there have not been any much complaints against them and their activities here is transparent and reliable but you know, things changes likewise same way things happens. This is not a good situation to have happened. If there is anything wrong with the casino no one knows as these are just mere signs one should take not of before the unfortunate happens and one ends up making huge loss as a result of membership of that casino. Cutting down cost is as a result of inadequacy and poor management. Probably, this casino must be undergoing done sorts of shake up whichever ways and decided to take such drastic measures without putting into consideration those that are affiliated with huge followership to their casino.
Every one should take caution and be on the alert. This is how such scenario begin without any notice then it results to something uncontrollable which should have been averted early enough but before it could be realized, the unfortunate or the worst has already happened.

It's tough to keep that 10% running but if OP still maintains that reward for all his invites then I don't think he'll have a difficult time in another casino. I believe he already has a good relationship with them and I'm pretty sure they have some group chat or other ways to communicate. The question is whether he can find a legitimate one that offers more than what he pays and allows him to earn good as well.

simply because of the extended continually challenging phases they are subjected to, good casinos are always fleeting. No matter how legitimate a casino is, it's always prudent and safer to be prepared for the worse; nothing lasts forever in this present day. Things go wrong when they encounter major challenges, and online traffic becomes even more difficult to manage. BCGame is one of the few good casinos out there, however it hasn't been pleasant to watch it expand so quickly over the years. Their activities in the space are legal, and they benefit their clients by supplying fundamental interests and attractive gambling possibilities.
