I only do Rev Share also Randy as I think its the most fair way for a partnership to work. I think most honest affiliates quickly realize this is the most productive payment scheme after a short time in the business. No one can afford to give away whales for $150 or $200. The problem being dicsussed is unique to CPA and its a shell game. Here’s how it has been working:
1. Casino agrees to pay affiliate $200 (example) per new depositing player who deposits a minimum of $50.
2. Scammer contacts list of accomplices with the new casino offer and instructions.
3. They sign up and deposit $50
4. Scammer is paid $200
5. Scammer pays accomplice $100 – $150
6. Scammer pockets $50 to $100 per accomplice
7. Number of accomplices grows Virally as more and more newbie players tell friends they found way to play for free and keep big wins while pocketing double their money! Scammer offers override to people who refer friends to help grow list.
8. The casino gets raped, buts its very difficult for them to do anything as these are real players who did deposit the minimum and do download and play some games. If they squak affiliate threatens to blast them everywhere if they arent paid.
9. If finally called on it the scammer falls back on excuses of “buyer beware” or “Hey I did what they asked, I sent depositing players. They deposited above the minimum I need to be paid. Its not my fault if they set up deals where they lose money”
As affiliates its easy for us to empathize with the affiliate if you dont understand or believe they are intentionally scamming the casinos. But it does negatively impact all of us. I wouldnt be surprised if honest affiliates arent shaved to cover the losses generated by the scammers.
