Perhaps someone could explain something to me and my vision would change. Here is a case example : the site bonuswhores.com
They offer no rakeback and no gifts, but their site is entirely dedicated to bonus leeching. I would like someone to tell me how anyone benefits from this. If they are under rev share, each player leeching bonuses starts at -90$ on a site like PartyPoker. And they aren’t going to play there long term and make up for that 90$ deficit, since they are encouraged to abuse reloads. I came up with the calculation for the -90$ in another thread recently. Argue with the methodology at will, but no matter how you change it, it’s almost impossible to have the bulk of your players above -75. This is perfectly normal for someone informed. I’m a poker player and I do it because it is to my advantage. If however they were under CPA, which is the only way they can make money, the poker rooms are leeched by both the player and affiliate ; not going to happen.
How can a site like that be profitable? They have a large audience. Yet I fail to see the advantage to that business model other than raising consumer awareness and lowering profit margins.
Thanks to Dominique for explaining my point in a non-confrontative point.
