Aleph I love ya. by the time I got to your post, I wasn’t to sure about what I’d wrote myself.
Now I’m full of git an’ go again. TY.

Okay, lets say you get a big player and you’re making 10k a month.
then a few players later you land another big player and then a few more. and suddenly you find yourself in a situation where you have enough players that its almost certain that one of them is going to hit a big win every month which counter-acts the income you’re making from the losers.
so you make 40k off 4 losers but give it all back to the one person that won a big jackpot. that SHOULDN’T be a problem one would think… but it is the explanation I get ever increasingly, as to why my bottom line sucks.
This is installing a thought process of “protect my accounts” rather than being incentive to send more players.
here is a great example:
I have 8 players at Ruby Fortune. I have promoted it heavily for more than a year, it occupies many top spots; yet my income there this month is
$144
when I look at the details; I see that for instance on one banner tag I have
3 $-428 $-107
3 players; income to casino -$428, my share is -$107
(these are pathetic stats in any case, but they were what set me off because this seems to be a problem month in and month out – so I’m using them as example)
so what i’m learning from all this is that I’m better off to stagger my players to different properties rather than send them all to one place where I risk having my income wiped out every month by the one wild card in the otherwise predictable deck.
and what I’m asking is ; is that what they are striving for? Because that is exactly what I am being conditioned to think.
………..
I hasten to add that this also involves the new T&Cs at some places, because the casinos can and are set up to absorb the losses because they have such a large player base, but in my case like the above, I had 3 players and you know that I am in the negative because one of those players hit a big jackpot; thus wiping out the income from the other two.
with the ever-increasingly affiliate-unfriendly T&Cs they are implementing; it becomes even more reason to the affiliate to be thinking about these things; because since they’re cutting at us from every angle possible; we cannot absorb these losses in the same fashion as before; and in the case of some sponsors – well you see this happen month in and month out and you start asking yourself why you bothered sending any more players …
