In answer to your question, Engineer, effective in October, we are shifting to a tiered commission model. The clause will no longer be operative. As mentioned before it is overdue for an update in light of our increase in casino traffic and offerings and we agree that it does not adequately serve the interests of affiliates that market our casino product as heavily and effectively as poker.
Gooner, thanks to you for bringing this matter to the forum and to others for posting on this thread. I primarily wanted to clarify that we did not ‘invoke’ anything predatory with regards to your account. I appreciate your clarifications here in that regard. I put the “(pp)” to indicate when I paraphrased, you’ll note. Our new model will be structured such that it rewards a higher percentage for higher FTD’s, but without a minimum player per period stipulation in consideration of the aforementioned point of the minimum being too great an expectation for many affiliates. We want to nurture and expand our affiliate partnerships toward mutual profitability, and in full consideration of the matter, such a stringent clause impedes that goal with regard to commission on casino.
