have to say that he is probably closer to the truth than most people
would like to acknowledge or admit. To side one’s view on the other end of
the spectrum of honesty is just as ridiculous people.
there alot of truth in some agendas
Hi all,
well to be completely honest, from a standpoint of being cynical (as anyone should be when it involves
1) money + people you don’t know extensively
2) the fact that you are not able to conduct competent audits without notice
now consider this; most places deliver in realtime nearly all your stats EXCEPT deposits/income.
I have always found it to be an unnecessary kink in a system where trust is involved, that the money line is always updated not in real time (except RTG, whom I commend for that but then condemn them for what i consider perhaps their way of making up for not being able to have that inbetween time from player’s true status to our stats … a little thing they like to call “managers credits” and about 3 other columns of places where they can get away with shaving a bit of your income without your having any way of knowing if its true or not …)
Tell you what would impress the hell out of me; would be if Microgaming showed everything in realtime, which we all know IS possible; proven to be possible by RTG, cause i’ve watched my own deposits into an RTG casino and seen it show up in the stats in like seconds…
so the tech experts can spout all the mumbo jumbo to me they want to about why its not possible this and not possible that; but I’m not so stupid I believe it is possible to the point of being a working model for one software; that another software couldn’t achieve it.
Now as far as Crytpo goes; well they make far too little money IMHO for as much as I know I like the software; when I first started I promoted IC and Sands heavily but they never made any money. IC’s stats never showed any signups early on so I quit them in favor of the Sands only later to realize that i had a bunch of players signed up there but the place had only actually sent me a check like one or two times. They were a huge waste of my resources and money. Since then I’ve started using IC again and have seen at least some results that shame the Sands, though nothing outstanding by any means.
and I know for a fact that you can resign up using a different email address (this was a few years ago granted) and you can successfully move your account from one affiliate getting credit for your play, to another.
which then leaves it no big stretch to the imagination to think that your players are easily siphoned off.
However I have no such proof other than I know I moved my account several times, mostly due to the fact that I’d lose my info I needed to regain access to the casino (often more than 6 months had passed btw for those that argue people don’t return after 6 months – coughbullshit) and rather than wait for intercasino’s incompetent support to reply, if they ever replied;. . I’d just resign up and get a new account. *keep in mind this was a long time ago and things may have changed since then.
results are bottom line. look no further. other stats are great for judging a program’s status on your site to help you adjust your angle so that you can make best the program’s strong points to your advantage. but if you want to know who your best program is … look at the bottom line + amount of exposure and no further. *I cannot help but think of Vegas Partner when I mention this; they were decent in every category except the most important one, which of course is a shame imho that they couldn’t show a bottom line that was even close enough to warrant my keeping them listed on my sites. They started out making decent money but as my player base grew, my income fell off. sound familiar anyone?
who gives a damn what your download to real player ratio is – if it is only making a fraction of the money that the other place makes you; even though they have dismal stats in most categories … except the most important one.
