Affiliate Secure finds way to counter ‘shaving problem’ in online gaming industry

One of the biggest fears of affiliates in the online gaming industry is the fear that players or income is being ‘shaved’. When player income is shaved, a player that is linked or should be linked to an affiliate does not show up in

the affiliate stats. This way an affiliate can potentially miss thousands or tens of thousands of potential income. Shaving also occurs when an affiliate program subtracts costs from payments that are not mentioned in their Terms & Conditions.

The reason is of course money. Affiliate programs are run by people and people can be short sighted. A solution is in sight though, as  Affiliatesecure.com has found a way to pick the rotten fruit. With a unique scanning process and the help of a team of reliable affiliates to back up the conclusions irregularities are found in programs.

Does the affiliate program pass the scan, they are awarded with an Affiliate Secure Seal of Approval so gaming affiliates can be sure of a safe bet. Affiliate programs can apply for a scan themselves on Affiliatesecure.com. Over 60 programs are scanned already, most with a positive result. On the site a program can have one of three statuses: Scanned OK, Under Review and Rogue.

The term ‘rogue’ in the gaming world is used for a program with multiple confirmed cases of fraudulent behavior. This is a serious accusation and when Affiliate Secure judges a program as rogue, an affiliate can be sure the program ís rogue.

If you are an affiliate or working in the industry, Affiliate Secure needs your help to test the assumptions and verify scan results . Go to the website and sign up as a tester to help filter out the malicious programs and keep the industry straight.
