Referback does, and they advertise it when you go to their site. Of course you know Referback handles affiliates for Gaming Club, Riverbelle, Lucky Nugget et. al.
Also, I believe that Focalclick (Sands, 49er, 1on1) have also listed affiliates making this kind of money.

LOL, the CSR has obviously not seen the report of Brian Woods' bragging to Casinomeister in Montreal recently. He boasted that repeat bonus takers are deliberately made to wait progressively longer with each cashout.
He also didn't seem to believe too much in the "truth in advertising" ethic, and was under the misguided notion that bad publicity was good for his group.
And as Jyde points out there are some ery patient players who have waited for months to get paid by this group.

Although I did receive a withdrawal that I requested in May, I am still waiting to receive a withdrawal of more than $700 which I requested on the 3rd of June. I decided to call customer service today to see if they could provide an indication of how much longer my cashin would be stalled. The CSR assured me that cashins are never intentionally delayed. She explained that their financial processing department was backlogged.
If anyone has received a cashin from GrandBanks/BlackWidow which they requested after June 3, I would appreciate if they would so acknowledge in this thread.

I doubt any affiliate makes this kind of money. I really don't know for sure, so any affiliates can chime in on this.
However, I doubt ery much that any affiliate for BW/GB makes this kind of money. They aren't particularly good casinos, and the average gambler isn't going to put up with the slow payments. Not when there are so many reputable casinos paying within a few days.
I agree with Jetset; this was just an act of Bravado on the part of Woods. It was also ery childish and silly IMO.
It’s a shame because GB had a great reputation a few years ago.

I think this silly little act of bravado by Woods could cost him and his rather mediocre casinos dearly, and I have strong doubts about his claims on affiliate earnings.
He clearly does not have too much respect for the players that make this industry work, either.
This, and the deliberately slow-pay policy of his operations will do little to enhance his reputation or his business.

2 things to say from me
1, Damn these portal owners must be rich...VERY RICH, at least making like $100,000 per month!!!!
2, But I guess this high rewards only compensate their bravery of putting their lifes (and their families') on the line. I mean some of these casinos are run by gangsters and I don't think they have any problem removing people who bash their casinos.

Didn't you see the Casinomeister's latest Newsletter?
According to the Casinomeister, Brian Woods, the operator of Black Widow, stated that he intentionally delays payments to customers who use a bonus.
Now how’s that for a reputable casino?
I was getting ready to leave when up came a guy who introduced himself as Brian Woods, the operator of Black Widow casino.
I was a little uncomfortable at first since I had rogued this casino last fall, but what he had to say was quite odd. He shook my hand and said, "I want to thank you for blacklisting me last fall, because since then traffic just shot up."
"Oh, yeah?" I said.
"Yeah," he replied. "You know, when they read your reviews, they click through your site and download the software, you've been bringing in a hell of a lot of traffic."
"Oh, yeah?" I said.
"Yeah," he replied. "And here's the thing…your followers are not l... | | Read Entire Entry |

Well I also got paid not the above playtechs, but one of this category: Twin Aces. It took two weeks to get my withdrawal approved, 1 month to issue the draft and mail it, and it took another month to get to my hands.
But thank heaven I finally got the money and it is the biggest amount I ever won at any playtech playing BJ.

I just got a 65-Pound Fed-Ex cheque sent from Sterling after waiting for over 4 month.
These people are so stupid, they let me wait for that long and then they do pay the fees for the expensive overnight-shipping.
I am sure glad to get my money but this only proves how incompetent their managers are!
They will not get a cent from me again.

MrWolf; Several reasons.
*The offers have been ery nice.
*They have returned deposits were swiftly, and also losses have been protected by clearing previous winnings against new losses. Thus the play has been almost risk free, since the worst that could happen was that I would break even.
*Others have in fact been paid in the past, so they seem to have cash flow problems which is much better than they being con-artists.
*Black Widow and Grand Banks have been in the business for long, and hopefull they will cover up if Sterling goes even further downhill.
Your approach may have been successful during 3 years, but so has mine. 3 years, 300+ casinos and 1000+ offers with great success.
Now I am not taking up any offers from them however, until I hear from someone getting paid recently.
There must be someone out there who's played BW, GB or Sterling during recent months? Please share your experiences.

KX,
Why would you continue playing at these casinos if you haven't been paid winnings in almost six months?
It doesn't matter how big a bonus is, it has f*** all alue if you're not going to be paid.
I might be cautious, but to me any casino that takes more than a week to process payouts isn't worth touching because it says a lot to me about their cashflow, and I don't want to be there owed money when they go belly up. In three plus years, this approach has worked (Goodfellows and Tropika aside, when Microgaming made good when the casinos defaulted).

PRESS RELEASE
David Barker of Sterling House Casino meant to say, "We are successful in a market where others have failed because Sterling House doesn't pay winners.
"Just because you might gamble with a particular casino offline doesn’t mean that you’ll stick with them once you get home. Once online, consumers quickly forget the bricks and mortar and look towards the irtual names they have come to trust. Like William Hill, Ladbrokes, Trident Lounge, Intercasino, Aces High, iNetBet, PlayMGM."
