AffiliateGuardDog

AffiliateGuardDog.com is an independent organization which set a goal to bring real certifications to Casino Affiliate Programs and the online gambling industry. Real certifications in the sense that they are factually based and rely solely on verifiable metrics.

The AGD Website and Forum feature Platinum Certified Programs, with an explanation why the programs have received this certification.

The criteria for receiving Platinum Certification from AGD include: Affiliate-Friendly Terms and Conditions, Payment of Affiliate Commissions on time, Responsiveness to Affiliate needs, and casinos that are not considered Rogue by Casinomeister.

Notably missing from these are the "certification dollars," thus removing the possibility of paid certifications.
