Sure, no problem.
The issue is 'Retroactive Terms Change'. The poll in question does relate more to casino for the particular term being retroactively enforced, however, you are correct.
'Retroactive Change' means that an affiliate program is changing their contract (Terms and Conditions) that YOU signed when becoming an affiliate - AND - they are doing it retroactively. So - even if you didn't sign the new contract, they are enforcing it.
So, for example: If you got a loan for a house for $150,000 with 5.5% interest. And, 3 years down the line the bank said... We raised the interest rate to 7.5%. In order for you to stay in your house, you will have to pay us the additional 2.2% on the life of your loan thus far.
Obviously that is breaching the contract and illegal.
Affiliate programs are doing this right now. If affiliates DO NOT stop them, then it will eventually not just apply to casino affiliates. These are the same folks that run poker affiliate programs.
