Personally, I really don’t like the definition of bonus hunter or gift hunters by casinos. I think 80% of online gamblers have an intention of being a bonus hunter, but most of the real players also come from them.
For example,
I am new to affiliate program, but I am not new to online casino . I played online casino for more than 2 years, in the first 3 month, I just made a USD300 initial deposit to earn USD6000, I played online casinos one by one like a bonus hunter. But now I become a big player, my average bet per hand is 250USD, usually I bet 1000, 2000,5000,10,000USD per hand. Yesterday, I lost 14000 USD in cyptologic software casinos in just 10 minutes. And I lost 25000usd in the whole month.
Believed it or not, with the time passed, bonus hunter will become real money players like me.
In my opinion, as long as there are enough traffic and players , casino don’t need care who is real player or who is bonus hunter. 80% of players will be loser in casino games,so do poker rooms.
So far, 888 group is the best group I ‘ve ever seen in marketing. They just drive the players as much as they can ,they seldom define a player or affiliate as a bonus hunter or gift hunter, and always give players and affiliate general bonus, finally ,they succeed and become the world’s largest group.
I also never see a group which always define a player as bonus hunter can become large and successful.
Just my 2 cents
