Why Not ClickBank Supporting Bangladesh?

15 years ago

But after lots of request from them at last ClickBank accept them.

Then, insteading of ranting here where it does little to no good, why don't you ask CLICKBANK?

Maybe there IS a legal reason - you don't know. And as soon as someone starts ranting about racism - game over.

Thanks

I have asked them already. But they don't want to explain any reason and politely bypassed my question tactfully. Here is the reply below from them.

Hello Shafiq,

Thank you for your interest in ClickBank! We accept clients from over 100 countries. If your country is listed on our sign-up page (http://www.clickbank.com/signup.html), then you are eligible to open a ClickBank account. If your country is not listed, we cannot offer you an account at this time. Regrettably, we are unable to make any exceptions to this rule at this time.

Best wishes!

Sincerely,

Lyz
Senior Customer Service

Questions:
Hi
I am from Bangladesh. Why not you accept affiliates from Bangladesh? A lower developed country than Bangladesh named Bhutan beside my country is accepted. But why not Bangladesh? Is this because it's a Muslim country? I heard that clickbank tries to avoid Muslim countries if it can.
There is no reason to avoid us. We are very good people. We have no scam report online. We are hard working and ambitious. So why?

It has to do with the laws of certain countries, and if CB feels they can do business there profitably, it's CB's call.

Just check the CPA board below this one and ask which affiliate programs work for your country.

I have already joined Commission Junction. But ClickBank has some great features like you can instantly create an link for any products with your id without logging in. And most guides, videos and courses are about ClickBank not CJ. That is why?

Shafig,

Clickbank is under no obligation (legal or otherwise) to do business with anyone, and publicaly accusing them of racism and prejudice isn't going to change anything.

Thanks for reply. This is not my opinion. And personally I hate racism. I believe we all are human. That's should be our race. However I found it in a Malaysian experienced marketer's ebook where he explain how to access paypal, CB with virtual address, VCC etc. I can do that but it will cost me extra $$$.

Thanks

If you will continue to press them for answers, ClickBank will finally say it's because of the high internet fraud rate in your area, Shafiq.

This may even be far from the truth, but it's useless arguing with them. I have tried in behalf of a client, but to no avail.

It's their system, it's their rules.

You are telling this without knowing a single bit about my country. However, I am forgiving you; but never do that again. You will never find a single online fraud claim about my country's people on Internet.

Be cautious about commenting!

Ease up, as he said CB made the call, not him.

Fraud is everywhere- every country.

No sense wasting time complaining about it.

Try to find some accomplished marketers from your country, and find the tools and resources they use.

Or set up a business entity across the border in India.

Here are some countries they accept: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Kuwait. Hmmm, what do those have in common?

Sometimes they may not accept certain countries due to laws or business practices or whatever in those countries.

I'm actually surprised how many they do business in.

I am not here to debate, however, see the bold word below.

ClickBank tries to avoid Muslim Countries if it can.

I saw that the first time. Tell me, what is forcing Clickbank to do business in Egypt or Kuwait? Nothing. They probably get a very small amount of their revenue from those countries.

They could limit themselves to just the US or just US, UK, Canada if they wanted ... so your assertions about reasons for not accepting certain countries are obviously not true.

Perhaps You are right. Perhaps not. Both of we don't know what is actually in their mind. Because they are bypassing the question tactfully and not explaining a logical reason.

However, it is not my comment. I just have heard it. I have found it in a Malaysian experienced marketer's ebook. Thanks for your post.

Shafiq, calm down please.

I did not say that Bangladesh is a country of fraudulent people.

I said that ClickBank's general reply for countries not included in their list is "because of high fraud rate." The same reply will be sent for inquiries regarding why the Philippines, Oman, Dubai and other countries aren't on the list. I have clients from these countries who can't promote ClickBank products. I share their frustration, as I share yours.

Please read and study comments well before letting your emotions get the best of you.

Be cautious about reading!

I am not going to accept your forgiveness because I will never ask for one.

Hay I am really very sorry for my mistake. Actually we are very honest people. And if someone tell any false claim about us it really hurt.

I only discovered C2S a few days ago after another Warrior mentioned it. Paydotcom - I put a widget on a blog, but that's all, It hasn't sold anything.

It's no secret that I'm not a Clickbank fan any more.

If you want to use CB you need to follow the example you quoted of Malaysia. In other words, enough people presumably contacted CB for them to see it was worthwhile selling Malaysia.

As I said to another poster in another thread about something totally different, you are asking CB the wrong questions. And telling them you are honest in Bangladesh is no way to go about it really. I'm certain you are honest, but even if you weren't - writing and telling them how honest you are isn't the way to go. You're unlikely to write and tell them you aren't honest!!

You need to give them a properly constructed business reason for having a presence.

Do some surveys. Find out how many IMers there are, what is your potential customer base, how much could CB make if they allowed your compatriots to join, etc.

call them racist would be a mistake.

Every country on earth has some kind of fraud problem, there's no such
thing as a fraud free country, perhaps they view your country as high risk.

Yes, they may view anything any way they like. It's their TOS, It's their privacy, It's their right. It's their rule. And there is something beyond rule. You have bought an ebook for $50 seeing the sales letter, the picture like an hardcover book which should be over 100 pages. After downloading that you are surprising that it is nothing but a 10 page report. How frustrating is this? But you can't complain because they showed their privacy policy, TOS, and they have said no money back guarantee. If you go to court definitely you will lose and they will win. Because everything is bound with written agreement on their site. Only you know what was happened!

Clickbank doesn't support Dominican Republic either.
Somebody knows how to request to include a country that not support or someway to operate with clickbank living in a country that is not supported?

Thanks

Just ask a relative in another country to get your cheques for you.

I live in the UAE which wasn't allowed (not sure if it is now) to sign up for Clickbank, signed up for an account using an Indian address without an problems.

And allegations of them deciding on the basis of race or religion are complete horseshit. Maybe they've decided that your country simply isn't profitable enough to allow?

Thanks
