Bum Affiliate Links?

Hey stackers,

Testing a couple affiliate links from F5, and they both take me to a page which states "this game not available in your country, but here are some OTHER games you'll LOVE".

Both offers are for the US. And when testing the links, so was my IP address. Cookies and cache were crystal clear.

Maybe it has something to do with the lead cap?

What thinkest thou?

I'd ask my AM at F5, but I don't have one.

My father's family was Swedish, yes. We're from the US. Dad is retiring in April and we're traveling to Stockholm (and then Kalmar) to visit relatives. It'll be my first time over there. I'm quite excited.

Anything in specific you recommend we do while there?

5.Amusement park Gronalund .If you still in the age for some trill, or its nice to just watch others have fun at the .
6. Nightclubs (Stureplan you have alot of nice cafes and nightclubs, bars) no need to give more explanation about swedish woman

Kalmar i have not been to, its nice in the south sweden aswell . For an American it would be more a sleep town, but they have nice old buildings in these towns.

Test with several VPN servers to be sure.

I've tested from several VPN servers in the US using OverPlay. East coast, central, and west coast. The result is always the same. Screenshots below.

I'm sure it must be something I'm doing wrong. But I'll be damned if I can figure it out. I followed the testing process to the T.

Yeah most IPs of VPNs and proxies are banned by cake ( platform F5 uses ) to prevent fraud.

The best way to go about it is drop an email to Jaimmie and she'll get you sorted.

Her forum username is JaimmieF5.

Thanks bbrock32, I sent an email to Jaimmie.

What concerns me is that I LIVE in the US, and I tried each link with and withOUT my VPN.

Yeah that would concern me as well!

No worries, I contacted Georgia and she's looking into it.

We sometimes also have redirects based on devices and operating systems and carriers - this can be something that is very hard to see with a proxy alone and can be dependant on our advertisers.

If you ever need to reach out to F5 - you can email our entire network [yes, every staff will get this email] to advisor@f5media.com

Adam - you and I have corresponded by email a bit and i'm glad georgia has this handled.

Thanks Jaimmie, I appreciate your response.

Turns out both offers had expired and the advertisers failed to notify F5.
