It is a problem indeed with these programs that appear over night and disappear the same way. Affiliates will always try new programs with new products because they thing it is easier to convert and get some money - might be.. but as you can see, these is what happens with these affiliate running to promote new out of the box products. They should stick to old reputable programs, and in some case unfortunately there are surprises here as well.
A note on the article: I have been working with LuckyAce and their sister program MyLotto (owned by the same company) for over a year and always got paid in time, by the 5-6th of each month from both programs. If there are complaints from affiliates there must be some reasoning behind, and many times it is about CPA abuse. On the other hand, a bad experience I recently had was with 10bet that refused my payment and closed my account with a stupid explanation that makes no sense to put it in this comment.
