Since my last post I have again been in contact with them and have found them to very helpful.
Not sure about this $2k-3K thing, from the beginning it was my understanding that you can do the software modifications and front-end design yourself or there was the option of having them do it. Maybe this is where they charge you but the amount does seem high.
I’ve lost 2 designers in the last couple of months but I can tell you that if you have mid-level graphics skills with Photoshop the graphical software modifications can be done in a relatively short-time, probably a day or so. The software modification instructions are straightforward and there is very little code changes required, again this can be done in 20 minutes or so. Regarding the front-end design, they will provide the content to you for help pages etc. so if you can build a website there should be no problems.
All in all I think the time and effort should be worth it since they offer a number of affiliate payment options and flexibility that is appealing to me. I’m going to be building 2 or three different sites that look the same but have slightly different URLs so I can test and track different ad campaigns. One will be for CPA deals only and the other for commission based payments. The CPA offer should be particularly appealing since they pay a fairly high amount and a decent media buyer should be able to make some deals that will allow for a nice profit.
I wouldnt overlook these guys, their new version 2 software plays alot nicer than the previous version and has multi-player and multi-language play. It’s also cool since players from all the BeTheDealer platforms are merged into one gaming environment without ever knowing it. People from Germany for instance can play with someone from the US and both players are in thier native language. Very neat feature.
So, if you want a private label then this is what has to be done. If not, wait a week or two until mine is up and running and check out what I’m doing. Gonna have additional in-house promotions to boost player conversions as well as some unique affiliate incentives. Stay tuned…. Hope this wasnt too much of a shameless plug.
