Cynically I’d say that this “system” of attributing referrals has been adopted to maximise their percentage of orphan signups – that is to say customers signed up that belong to no affiliate.
Nearly all links to their site would be affiliate coded … and this mechanism gets around that completely. Why do they need a bonus code to apply a bonus? They don’t. They know when they get a new customer.
It’s simply a mechanism to try and orphan customers from the referring affiliate …
:stirpot:
As a practising cynic of many years … consider this additional scenario …
You’ve signed up a whale … after a month or two the casino recognises them and sends the whale a “special bonus” with THEIR code …
Now what do you think will happen to the customer? You should already know the answer – you’ve seen the proof at the signup stage.
I’ll go nowhere near this crowd with my promotions ….
