Do I get credit for players who earn revenue through Share CardSpike?
If a CardSpike Affiliate brings in a real money player who in turn refers friends via the CardSpike Share program, this does NOT constitute a Sub-Affiliate relationship to the benefit of the CardSpike Affiliate. Share CardSpike Poker is a refer-a-friend program that will ensure that any players that profit from Share CardSpike Poker have a reason to return to CardSpike Poker and play. This increases the likelihood that the players you’ve worked hard to direct to CardSpike Poker stay and play at CardSpike Poker.

The above hints to me that they are not interested in working with rakeback affiliates. Maybe CardSpike.com should be asked about this point.

Second point - if effectivemedia.com are only running their affiliate program then the non payment issue needs to be taken up with the client directly.

Please get the facts staight before making allegations. HTML here is a nightmare ;)
Strong allegations to be backed by hard facts
