Platinum Certified Programs
AffiliateGuardDog serves the online gambling industry as an issuer of certifications to Casino Affiliate Programs. They have recently introduced the Platinum Certified Program, which only programs that fully adhere to all specified metrics may make use of the seal.

How to become Platinum Certified
Platinum Certified Program Pre-Requisites:

• The Affiliate Program MUST have affiliate-friendly Terms and Conditions,
• The Affiliate Program MUST pay its affiliates on time,
• The Affiliate Program MUST communicate with affiliates in a reasonable amount of time, and
• The Affiliate Program MUST not represent any casino which is considered 'Rogue' at CasinoMeister.

In entirely transparent fashion, AGD makes the following statement on a "transparency document" on the site:
"Once the criteria have been met, a program will PAY FOR PLACEMENT. This IS a paid sponsor at AGD and we do not wish to hide that fact."

The following affiliate programs are among those certified by AGD:

• Lionslots Affiliates - whose Rival-powered casino focuses on slots players

• Absolute Affiliates - Absolute Slots Casino has kept its position as Platinum Certified amidst controversy, for it has not affected the affiliate program.
