The parents and GP Marketing are two separate entities. The parents are putting up these sorts of auctions on EBay and GP is taking advantage of marketing and branding their product. This in turn, creates brand recognition for the online casino(s) you market as an affiliate.
What negative impact does this cause to the casino or to the affiliates?
It actually increases brand recognition, increases your player’s conversion rates, and increases player retention.
When someone searches for “casino” and automatically ends up on GoldenPalace.com because it is all over the InterNet, News, etc… that is only to your advantage in terms of aquiring new players, and player retention.
It’s a win win situation.
