You can trust both Connie and myself that we have the players and affiliates best interest in mind.
Simon I believe you and Connie do. The problem is the casino has not demonstrated this in the past.
You have to understand that as portal owners we SHOULD feel a certain level of responsibility when choosing casinos to recommend to our visitors. If we feature a casino that we KNOW has had a checkered past and the player has a negative experience then we will be rightfully condemned and lose that players confidence and therefore unable to market to them in the future.
Also they can and will post their displeasure on message boards and possibly ruin our reputation in the process of slamming the bad casino.
It’s a no win situation and one RESPONSIBLE webmasters don’t take lightly. One of the leading complaints we see online is players accusing affiliate webmasters of featuring ANY casino that pays us a commission no matter how poorly the casino behaves. As a professional I really hate to hear that, but its hard to argue with when we see people rush in to promote every casino that comes along even if they have a history of shoddy service. I am trying to avoid that and this is NOT a reflection on you or Connie.
I have worked with you both and I think you both are fine folks. I just don’t think that will help me in the least bit when a player says “Hey wait a minute, this casino is listed as a Rogue on other portals and you KNEW they had past problems. Why did you recommend them to me?” What do I say? “Well, Gee, Yes I knew that but I like the new affiliate managers there so I figured I would ignore all that and send you there to test things out”
I hope you understand the problem here. I think the prudent thing to do and what I recommend is we watch Prism for six months and see if there really is an improvement FIRST. Then we consider sending them our players. I dont think it’s really fair to gamble with other people’s money. I want my players to have the best chance of success so that they continue to come back to my portals when they want to locate a good casino to wager at.
