close cohorts to any program would need to be avoided
That may be difficult – most of us have their favorites.
I tend to test my favorites harder than others…I don’t want to favor someone who will take advantage of me.
I am all for testing – and it needs to include long term retention.
The test players need to stop playing for extended periods of time and then come back in some cases, and play more than two months in others.
I am very suspicious about players being removed from aff accounts after a period.
I am also suspicious about players being crossmarketed without tags.
And if I find anyone sending my player to a casino owned portal, I will be ready to kill.
And I have some strong suspicions there.
