had the opposite happen this month at poker.com. An increase of about 6-7times the usual, and I assumed it was from someone losing at blackjack. But since a poster said their blackjack is not real money yet I don’t know what to think.
My opinion is I like that blackjack is offered, as a lot of poker players like to play it also. Since it is a casino game (affiliates get % of losses), in the short term you may lose, but in the long run you’ll come out ahead. It is sickening to see it wipe out your stable poker profits, but in the months that you come out ahead, you can more than make up for it. Maybe for those that want to promote poker alone some of these affiliate programs can give them the option of opting out of the other games. I don’t know if that is doable or not though stats wise. If not, just like with the casinos, if you keep getting wiped out by consistent winners then it is time to give other rooms more exposure and ditch the other. No sense in pouring money down the toilet. Or just promote poker rooms that do not offer the other games. Are there any left?
I no longer promote Party. Poker.com is one of the newer rooms I tested and am glad I did.
