Whale Cash account closures
 
:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh


Effective today, all accounts that have had no payout activity in the past 12 months
will be closed. If you would like to create a new account moving forward, you can apply
and go through the application process, which involves several steps. This is necessary
for the continued success of all affiliates and our adult community.

who cash?

Kaos_internet 12-12-2022 05:45 PM

Would have thought trying to get affiliates to do stuff would be more useful than closing accounts, especially from a program that never sent any updates.

But hey, what do I know

King Mark 12-12-2022 06:23 PM

That's foul

fuzebox 12-12-2022 07:06 PM

More time to focus on active affiliates who send a lot of sales per day. Makes sense to me.

While that may be true, there are also some struggling companies that are desperate for operating cash. Closing affiliate accounts with positive balances would eliminate a liability from their balance sheet.

They're blocking traffic from the closed affiliate accounts, link codes go to a blank white page that says:


"Dear affiliate,
Your account() is disabled.
Please contact support team.
Thanks,
The Management"

:Oh crap

DVTimes 12-13-2022 04:55 AM

Smart possibly.

But one suspects this may put new affiliates off from joining.

This is clearly not the case with Whalecash.

There is no benefit to supporting affiliates who get paid less than once per year :2 cents:

I mean 99% of affiliate fraud happens on PPL offers, but it sounds like you've got it all figured out. Hopefully you found a new home for all those sales :thumbsup

Sounds to me like they are trying to simplify the business. Less fraud, less shitty affiliates, focus on the moneymakers.

Absolutely. And it works both ways. If none of my referred affiliates are making money with them, I'll point them to a better program to promote.

From the affiliate perspective: if you're their affiliate and aren't making money with them, then why not move on. However, if you are one sale away from getting paid and then they cut you, then yeah - I would be upset.

Fuzebox is right.
It’s not profitable (or smart) to pander to people pretending to be affiliates.

Make your mind up is it PPL or SALES?

Side note, I don't give a flying fuck about PPL I've been on revshare for 10 years.

But hey, be judgmental without knowing :pimp

And how smart are the pseudo-programs we've seen disappear over the years:

datetronix, JDI, that Jay guy who may or may not have lost it all in Thailand. lol

Goes both ways, sometimes aff programs fuck affiliates without lube.

Why would you confuse whale cash with these other unknown programs?

And cutting off dead wood is not “fucking affiliates without lube”
If you can’t produce, you’re not really an affiliate.

Whalecash closure
 
Dear valued affiliates,

It's with a heavy heart to say that we have decided it was time to bring our affiliate program to an end. With the ever changing landscape of our industry, there has become less and less affiliates. Along with this, unfortunately there has been more and more fraudulent traffic. While we did our best to keep up with this, it is simply not viable for us anymore.

All operations will cease to exist after this upcoming Friday, December 30th 2022 - at 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.

Please remove any and all links pointed at our affiliate program by that date and time, as all links will become a 404 error after 12:00 PM EST. We apologize for the inconveience this may cause you.

All remaining balances in affiliate accounts will be paid out immediately after the closure date. This final payment will include all unpaid sales up to that point in time.

We greatly appreciate the opportunity we had working with all of our trusted affiliates, and wish you the best into the future.

Sincerely,
The WhaleCash Team

This isn't met as an attack on you, so please don't take it personally.

From a program's perspective, 3 sales in a year is pocket change. A program like Whalecash internally drives probably 500+ sales a day. I can understand why they would shut down their public affiliate program and (most likely) only keep a select few close partners that drive a dozen sales or more a day.

Again, my opinion is purely from a business perspective and experience with programs like WC. It's nothing against you.

I never promoted WhaleCash, so I have no horse in this race.

I interpret "closure date" as the closure of the affiliate program and not affiliate accounts. It seems like the recently closed affiliate accounts are going to get nothing and the program owners are only paying their larger affiliates, so they don't burn their bridges.

I had an account with whalecash that I never used.

I run revshare elsewhere and have been for 10 years.

But when something smells of fish it usually is fish(y)....

When a large Program does this it's not a big deal.
When a small Program does this, run.

This absolutely doesn't make any sense to me. How is it taking up their time to have affiliates not sending sales? What time are they saving when closing their accounts? Its not like they give those affiliates some 24/7 vip service by calling them all day. lol

Open an affiliate program and you’ll see. Those that send you 10% of your sales will take up 90% of your time with useless questions and demands.

The there is the whole dealing with fraud aspect. Thats a HUGE time suck. PPS and PPL programs are always huge targets to scammers
