WilliamHill Affiliate Program
WilliamHill has had a rough relationship with Israeli igaming company Playtech as WilliamHill bought out their marketing deal with Playtech to sever ties and regain full control of their online brand and affiliate program.
Up until this point the program associated with WilliamHill has been the Affiliates United program. Affiliates United have a very bad reputation for running an affiliate program. If you look around many sportsbetting websites, many of them don't promote WillHill at all and it makes you wonder why one of the biggest betting brands in existance isn't getting promoted by the top betting websites?
The answer lies in the partnership problems associated with the affiliate program. Affiliates United are known for questionable statistics and what some affiliates refer to as shaving. That is the manipulation of data on affiliates as a means of reducing their commissions. For a company that is suppposed to be one of the largest and most advanced in the industry, their backend is full of bugs and they make it difficult for affiliates to properly take screenshots of their data and they make the data disappear after 2 months. This is hardly a good example of accountability.
As a result if you follow many forums for sportsbetting webmasters like GPWA you will see their forum threads are filled with complaints.
As for WilliamHill itself, it remains to be seen if the main company behind the brand tries to revive their reputation which has been damaged by years of association with Affiliates United.

EuroPartners accused of shaving by affiliates
EuroPartners is a casino affiliate program that appears to have not the best reputation in online gambling. In forums and many review website they are all saying similar things that affiliates don't trust this program mostly due to shaving.
What is shaving? This is the act of having your affiliate commissions removed or the data manipulated to pay you less. It is basically theft and stealing and some programs appear to have a reputation for such behaviors.
This program has existed under many names for many years and they keep rebranding but are still the same company doing the same things. Many affiliates claim they don't earn the best commissions with this program and think something unusual is happening with their data. Usually affiliates will have earned money for the month however towards the end of the month they will see cashouts on the last day of the month usually wiping out any chance of earning a decent commission.
If you are an affiliate and this has happened to you please you are encouraged to leave some comments.

Party Partners
Party Partners is one of the largest poker affiliate programs in existence. The company has a very strange history. They rose to the top of the poker food chain by becoming the #1 poker site. Than after UIGEA, Party Poker left the US markets which left PokerStars and Full tilt poker left taking American players. Party Poker was a publicly traded company so they really had to leave the US markets on the day UIGEA was passed. The fallout from this was PokerStars took over as the largest poker room on the internet.
Fast forward many years, poker in America isn't as strong as it used to be but Las Vegas is looking to get a piece of the pie. Expect at some point in the future for Party Partners to return to the US markets in a regulated way. In the meantime for the rest of the world, Party Poker takes most players worldwide, has a massive customer support service that covers a crazy amount of languages.
So for Poker affiliates, this is one of the programs you should be promoting as it has good conversion despite all of the legacy players.
The Party Partners affiliate program has the following casino, sportsbook and poker rooms for affiliates to promote:
