One question I have Ryan is do we earn revenue on the players that signup for one of the free hour promos even if they don’t deposit?
Also Ryan, I think everyone understands how the revenue is earned on this model, the questions and concerns that many of us are bringing up is because we are trying to figure out if this model is a loser in comparison to the rev share. I agree with you in that it is tough for small allifiates such as myself to get any geniune numbers from only a few players. After all, that next player we bring in might make the deposit last for days and days and then we are thrilled with this program. But my feeling is that those lucky players are far and few between. And the point that several of us affiliates are making is that in reality we don’t know how well we are doing unless we know deposit amounts and lost amounts. So although profits to the casino don’t play a role in the wagershare model, we affiliates are very interested in this info as it is the only way we can guage if we are infact doing better with this model or at least the model is comparable and because we don’t have deposit and lost amounts in our stats, we really don’t know. So I don’t think we are missing the fundamentals here, I am sure you would agree how profits and such do play a factor to those of us trying to make heads or tails out of this model.
You say push it if it works for you, that is where the problem comes in. I don’t know if it works for me because I can’t compare it to rev share without the deposit and money lost info in my stats. I would love nothing better than to be able to ascertain that it is at least comparable to rev share, then I would push the hell out of you. But I can’t make a move like that with my business guessing if I would have made more money had I sent that same player to Challenge Casino. If you could take the guess work out of this for us I bet you would get affiliates such as myself, and there are quite a few of us to really make a push for you.
