3 APCW Audits A sponsorship with the APCW is a public statement that your brand is committed to integrity, transparency, and customer service. APCW audits provide affiliates information they need to make decisions about who to promote and where to send their players. One of the greatest necessities for affiliates is accurate player tracking statistics. Confidence in player tracking is so important that without it an affiliate will stop promoting a particular program. In fact, this is a major reason affiliates stop promoting programs. Among the areas covered in the auditing process are checks on whether or not: Affiliate players are properly tracked Affiliates are paid on time Affiliates are communicated with in a reasonable amount of time In addition to the APCW website, our audits are posted on the GPWA, on various industry forums, and are featured on the Perspectives Weekly show - reaching many thousands of affiliates worldwide. I have utilized the service of APCW faithfully on many occasions since I rely on the APCW audit reports to get a better insight of a program that I m thinking of working with. Their slogan Fighting for trust, honesty and integrity in the online gaming industry is exactly what they accomplish with their audits and what is so desperately needed in an unregulated industry that we earn our income in. Join the fight and check out their audits in order to have an added piece of mind with the brands that we trust with our traffic and send players to. - Robin, gamtrak.com The results of the audit make me feel more comfortable knowing that not only will my tracking be accurate, I also know my players will be treated fairly at a safe and secure online casino or poker room. - Bruce, pokerplayerus.com Please contact us for more information sales@apcw.org x138 3
