Hi Stephen,
Thank you for the feedback and your questions.
Basically people living off “past glory” – i.e: they used to have plenty of traffic, now they have none but are still being creditied with the players – are taking a 5% pay cut. All other affiliates are not affected.
You are correct in your summary as above. Most affiliates who actively market ReferBack will not be affected. The total number of affiliates who fall within the affected group is very minimal, and if you look at the basic requirement of 1 new active player each month, I am sure you will agree that most affiliates generate at least 1 new player each month without even making any attempt to do so.
This decision was made not out of a purely financial need, but more to motivate the newer and inactive affiliates to make some attempt at increasing acquisition of new players to the casinos. I agree that 5% may not be a large chunk of cash, but if it means a 5% extra in commissions just for getting 1 new player through the door each month, I am sure that some affiliates may be motivated to increase their marketing efforts.
I hope that I have covered all your questions. Please let me know if you need any more information.
Kind regards,
Kamiel Mahomed
