APCW’s audits Europartners
The APCW recently performed an audit of the affiliate tracking software used by EuroPartners. This audit included a review of Europa Casino and Casino Tropez activities. This was made within ninety days of 11 November 2010. A few details will be private as a means of ensuring that the audit remains anonymous. All problems were discussed with the casinos before the report was created. All tests were handled by auditors who were on the two websites through affiliated links.
Affiliate Tracking
The audit did not find concerns involving the webmaster affiliate tracking process.
Player Bonus Report Casino Tropez offers a bonus for players who sign up. This bonus will match 100% of a player’s first deposit. The maximum match value is $100.
The bonus cannot be combined with other bonuses unless stated otherwise. Also, a player must play through the bonus and deposit at least twenty times. This is in order to be fair to the site. Any player who tries to withdraw money before the minimum betting requirements are met will have one’s winnings and bonus money removed from the account.
Here is an example of how the entire process will work. A player can deposit $75 into the casino. The player will get $75 in free credits. The player will need to wager $3,000, which is twenty times the $150 that was involved in the account, before the player can withdraw anything.
Casino Tropez has a few standards for its bonuses. Players in Denmark must wager their deposit and bonus twenty times before being able to withdraw anything. The casino can also reserve the right to ask players who play in the English or Dutch languages to wager forty times their deposits and bonuses before making withdrawals. Casino Tropez can also enforce players in Argentina, Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, Uruguay, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Hungary, Romania, the Slovak Republic, Latvia, Malaysia and Thailand to wager their deposit and bonus by thirty times before a withdrawal can be made. The same countries must also wager this amount by twenty times if the High Roller Bonus is involved. Also, players in Brazil cannot get any bonuses from the site. The Europa Casino has a similar type of bonus. This also works to where a player can get a 100% match bonus at a value of up to $100. However, a player will have to wager at least eight times the bonus and deposit. The same rules for withdrawals apply. A player who withdraws anything before the requirement is met will have the money voided out. Therefore, a player who deposits $75 will get $75 in free money. This will result in $150 to wager. The player will have to wager at least $1,200 before a withdrawal can be made. In summary, the playthrough standards were better with Europa than with Casino Tropez. A 15% bonus was also used as a result of making a deposit with a preferred payment method. The bonus could not be used in combination with other bonuses though. This is despite how the bonus in this case is listed as being “additional.” This was the only concern over improper or unclear terms.
