I understand that this may not matter to all affiliates – but I do not promote nor recommend any casino I cannot test myself.
In my opinion, it actually costs you less in the long run. However, and I repeat again, I do not have any issue with a casino’s right to block play on one’s own aff account. I wouldn’t even care if you told me I couldn’t earn a percentage off my own player account, so long as I am able to play and test the tracking periodically. By saying one cannot sign up under one’s own aff account – you deny me the ability to do my own testing.
Exactly! I like to try the slots that I am promoting to my forum members and in order for me to get a good feel for the slot I have to play it in real mode, to me free mode is just not the same. With that said I know several programs that have this rule but they do not enforce it so to the credit of the operators not all are sticklers to certain rules in the terms.
Often times the casino players end up being an brand new affiliates for the casinos they play in as well.
