Bookmakers Review received multiple complaints from Interwetten players, who participated into one of the several reload bonus promotions offered by the Malta-based (where else?) bookmaker just to find they were soon limited to peanuts making impossible for them to finish their rollovers.
Interwetten rating is re-instated at 3.
UPDATE 18-08-2009: Suddenly, just like it had been closed, BMR\’s affiliate account with Interwetten has been re-opened. Even though I could verify it only recently when my access to affiliate stats was restored, it appears that the account was officially re-opened some time in June when they sent a bank-wire payment.
All in all, considering that it also appears that the account was never really closed but just suspended and that the total commission for the last 12 months was around 200 euros, it remains unclear to me why a company would get bad press for a sum like that. The only reason I could find was that the person managing the affiliate department had no clue of how the industry works and how to deal with affiliates, especially those who know how to write.
