Many youtubers and friends share their referral codes/affiliate links, saying you will get bonuses, real money, or free spins. but I wonder if casinos give extra help or benefits in some different situations.
For example, when someone wins a big multiplier and multiplies their account by 100x, then some casinos take a long time to process the withdrawal, or they may not even give the money. however, some say that if you sign up using a good affiliate or influencer affiliate code which have huge audience, then you won't face these type issues. also, if you promote the casino using your referral link, they might not hold back your withdrawal because you helped them get new customers.
is this kind of things is considered shady practice, or is it considered fair in the online gambling world?
These are all not true no VIP or top affiliate can help you once you encounter issue with your account, they are not a third party to fix your issues, whatever issues you encounter it is for you to resolve it, even if you bring in a lot of customers they will still restrict you if you violate their terms in fact they will happy to dispose you because their earnings will eventually go to their coffer.
Don't make a mistake that a VIP or super affiliate can intercede in your behalf, they can only offer you cashback or give you methods you can try for a chance to win buy interceding on your issues they will just ignore.
Two things that you need to remember first if you're an affiliate abide on all their rules be a good affiliate and a player, second only play and promote a reputable casino they will treat you fairly and they will take care of you.
