    Appears Betisland / Jon were scamed affiliates to!

    Appears Jon was scaming affiliates to. If you google "BetIslands.ag Affiliate Program is a SCAM" the 4th one down it is same title as what I said to google. Nice read of affiliate being scamed including email from Jon. It is an Affilate Watchdog site and betisland did not pay affiliate and they shut down affiliate program right after football 2011 then opened it back up before this season. Looks like another gimmick betisland was doing to get new players.

    Nice find...it's my post! Haha. I removed BI from my sites after just two months in 2011. Sportsbooks always treat their affiliates like shit, just before doing the same to their players! I finally blacklisted them in September of this year, when I saw the program was reopened. I knew they did it just to skim some free promotion. The strangest thing is that bipolar "Jon" actually paid me, a couple of weeks ago, just a few days before BetIslands went belly up. After stiffing me for over a year, I get paid out of the blue. He was all acting nice again, and actually claimed that HE was the only owner remaining!!! I see on his posts on SBR, that he states that he left BetIslands. In any case, all we know is that he is full of it, and BetIslands was a complete scam.

    i actually did read about them scamming affiliates along time ago. I think at the time i thought they wouldn't do the same to players. Surprised unpaid affiliates did not bring that issue up on more forums as it was happening.

    I've brought it up, but some posts get mysteriously removed. I actually brought it to SBR's attention in September. I knew they had a business relationship with BI and I wanted to share my experience with them. I included all of the information from my affiliate forum posts, but nothing was ever mentioned on this site. They said they would look at it, but they don't advocate for affiliates. Fine with me, my intent was to share the information, and not to have SBR get my payment for me. SBR also doesn't like affiliates posting on here.
