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%.
Topic: BCGame Affiliate Program Issues - page 3. (Read 548 times)
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.
With every dollar being wagered on my referral now, I'm losing money.

- 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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.

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

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. 
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.

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

This is part of the risk of being an affiliate and if it depends on your referral wagering, they can change the rules anytime its an unwritten rule of affiliate marketing, so your only option is to change your referral bonus or take away the referral bonus you can go on paying your referrals with your own pocket, but its good that you let people know about this issue, so marketers and influencers will take out BCGame on their list and go for casinos with better referral bonuses.
There are a lot of casinos worth promoting that establish themselves as one of the best in offering affiliate rewards, affiliate marketers are very important it keeps the money flowing to the casinos by recruiting new players.

This is very wrong and I can only imagine how much loss you must have incurred by now and there is no way they will just suddenly cut off your commissions without any prior notice and I think you should also try checking your emails, spam box or even important folder in your inbox so check for any prior notice and if you've done all this and no one from their team has tried responding to you despite all your attempt to reach them, then it will be better if you have any proves of your attempt to reach but to no avail, then I think you should try reporting to any gambling authorities closer to you thats if gambling is legalized in your country, as they will nest advice you on what to do with the help of your lawyer.
It's certain that their TOS has already such possibility (and it is also logical, certain conditions can NEVER last forever or not have a chance of being "changed").
You could potentially do the same, offering a "new offer" to your users.
Generally speaking, I would always seek a dialogue/negotiation with them, you could maybe get a new deal...
another important aspect, monitor the market maybe you'll find another affiliation...

Yeah, the huge difference in the percentage is what pisses ne off. Not to mention zero intimation or discussion before the change was done. I had to ask my vip host and find out recently.
The site have the right to change it, you can just see the terms if this works for everyone or they just cut your rate because you already made a lot of profit from that affiliate program. Contact the support, wait for their response so you can get the right answer. Giving out 10% to your affiliate is your choice after all, maybe you can inform them as well that you will lower the rate because the site made changes with yours.

The problem lies on your reward system, it is the right of the gambling platform to adjust their affiliate program reward. You can always cut your reward system into half or some percentage so that you can earn money too. Casinos needs to adjust in every situation, it is possible that they had some marketing projects that needs more funds and they decided to take the funds on the referral program stash.
If there is a term in their referral program that stated that they can adjust commission rate anytime then you can pursue any legal claim that you are losing money because you had agreed on the terms when you enter their affiliate program. They can even remove it and stop the program according to their liking.

Well, honestly, there is no legal ground to hold BC.game accountable on such an issue, and BC.game doesn't have to discuss anything with you before their decision to slash the affiliate commissions, since they did not hire you directly as a their affiliate marketer, or their promoter, or even ambassador, you probably saw their pay rate for referrals, got interested and hopped in, and now theyve decided to change the affiliate commission, it's up to you to either adjust to the new rate and keep going or hop out and look for another casino with better pay rate again.With every dollar being wagered on my referral now, I'm losing money.
BC.game didn't know the decision or agreement you made with your referrals, it is your business and not theirs, and if going by the new rate, you are no longer in profit after paying your referrals, like I said above, it's up to you to adjust with the new rate, or quit and look for another casino with better pay rate for their affiliate program.
Another forum member has created a topic three weeks ago to discuss about the bonus changes of Stake and BC.game. Probably these established casinos are reducing the bonuses to maximise their profit. But reducing the affiliate commission rate without any prior notice is a bad move from the casino team.
I play at BC, I am not an affiliate but I play for one, under Gosu! If they really did this (and I hope there is an explanation for this case), I will simply stop playing there. 
'efialtis' won't take it easily if BC.Game has really decreased the affiliate commission rate from 35% to 9.8%. BC.Game is at the top of GOSU review, it will highly effect on their ratings if they have made such unpleasant changes. A forum member has made a long dissatisfactory post in BC.Game ANN thread yesterday (it was a copy paste from Trustpilot review). Jump to:
