I think the best way to approach this, with the moderators’ permission, is for someone (not me, they’ll claim ulterior motive LMAO) to start a thread which proposes various things that they would like to see implemented in a single affiliate backend – along with reasons, of course.
For example, one of my main reasons is to simplify the learning curve, such that anyone who logs into a Microgaming affiliate backend will only have to learn it once in order to be able to use it at each operator.
The main benefits of this, aside from a short learning curve, is to allow the affiliate programs to concentrate on the things they do best – marketing and affiliate support – instead of requiring them to deal with techie-type things, many of which they simply cannot solve because the problem lies with Microgaming, not them.
A few good posts from affiliates will be more than sufficient to get me to point them – they have a long list from me already, so it will be really useful to hear other affiliates express the same, or different, opinions and suggestions.
