Oh, and somebody had mentioned the no-negative carry over thing, as a possible reason for this move.
When’s the last time you, or anybody you know, had a huge winner the month before, and then, like they should be expected to do, have the player return and lose most or all of it back the following month, therefore giving that affiliate a big boost in income as a result.
To be honest, the last time I heard of anybody being this lucky, was me. 
with Casino Rewards, back in April of 03. (trust me, the date is right, I remember that month).
I recall that Randy found himself in a position for this to happen once, but as I recall, he didn’t really end up prospering from it.
I don’t recall anybody else saying anything about this happening. But I’m sure there are a few, but that said, how many is enough to really upset the financial well-being of a major program?
And most curiously, I bet that this situation DID NOT happen to the programs that are wanting to change their terms.
Whaddya say to that?
