Hi again all,
as I said at first … I’ve known about this from the time I asked .. and considered it the cost of doing business with CR.
same as if you’d accepted a CPA deal where you got paid for bringing them to finish line and nothing more.
And ya it didn’t make too happy either but I was aware of the situation before hand.
Getting mad at them for not having done your homework is displaced anger btw: AND this should be a learning point everyone should remember if they didn’t know already which is that traffic goes somewhere when they visit a casino and the players go somewhere whenever they visit any place that you have exposed them … meaning the first thing I checked out was the casino rewards player site because its pretty obvious with what they loudly proclaim “spend our rewards at any of our properties” and I wanted to see if I was getting credit for when that happened. Its been so long now I won’t say I know for certain but if I had to guess I’m pretty sure its no.

sidenote: if you visit any of my sites you won’t search far before you’ll see me request to the reader that they return to my sites to sign up and play at any of the sister casinos … and I remind them as often as possible that choosing their casinos from my sites don’t cost anything extra but actually gives them an extra buffer of comfort between not having any recourse to having me … and then I run a guarantee which I like to think helps players come back as well but that’s just an “extra” I Throw in and its not necessary in order to get your surfers educated in why its to their benefit choosing from a casino portal over just typing in the casino’s name or through a search engine.
I’ve written a lot of articles promoting the positives of what I do … therefore what you do. and I could write a lot more. There is intelligent reasoning for coming back to your site and joining any sister casinos from your site over just signing up or using the disks. Would you be interested if I wrote one for you to put up?
And frankly I could use some links and you all could do me a great favor by allowing me … I’d be thrilled to get one link out of the article and don’t care if I get my name on the article. The link would be great.
If anybody’d thinks they’d consider putting it on their site somewhere then holler and I’ll write it up and post it.
Some affs want to hide their aff codes … I give (and always have) surfers more credit than that: they aren’t stupid … majority of them (people think just fine on their own, its the mob mentality effect that hurts us humans so much .. if we’d all learn to overcome mob mentality, think on our own and speak up as such .. but that’s another story. People will figure out that you’re not doing this for kicks.)
… so anyway IMHO its foolish to think you’re getting anything over on them by hiding your links. If anything I suspect the day will come when there may be as many that would type in the casino’s name because a site tried to HIDE the fact they were making money on the situation (like anybody does anything for free any more … people can’t afford to be noble to much extent anyway) as the affiliate might lose to those that type around the aff link nowadays.
Personally I offer a service which is valuable. If they want to choose to skip over what I’m offering … all they have to do is get froggy and jump.
but I won’t be there for them when/if the chips are down (certainly not too the extent I am for my supporters anyway) and the only thing i can say is they’re lucky they chose a casino I would list because its probably going to be treating them right … but if they don’t … well they won’t likely be getting a lot of *sympathy from me when I find out they didn’t use my links to sign up there.
*I would probably try to help them cause that’s just who I am … besides …I might convince them I’m worth supporting … but that’s a topic for another day.
