The true wager model is a blatant attempt to reduce commissions and it has worked! I say, leave sonner rather than later.
So its not like they did something behind your back. You had a choice (for most people anyway, not arguing whether or not a few emails did or did not get sent/received: I couldn’t know). And as for future players go … its still a choice.

… better for all involved to take positive steps towards a positive solution to the problem than to just turn your heads and walk different directions. Nobody wins when that happens … even if the aff program were to get to keep what players you’d already accumulated (not that it would happen that way, just making a point) they still are ending a relationship that (and I can say this now with a few years under my belt) might have went on a long, long time adding up to a number of players that would make the current number look like a joke in comparison (and that’s true regardless of whether you’ve got 20000, 200 or 20 at current time).
I think that CR has been smart about seeing the big picture for a long time now and I just don’t see them getting short eyes this late in the game.
Ryan is obviously making himself accessible. Seems to me that anyone who feels they have seen a strange occurance in their accounts activity could if asking the right detailed questions … at least try to get a reasonable understanding of what has caused their respective problem and that recognized … puts the ball into Ryan’s side of the court to try and get the players back by sending them the emails now armed with the knowledge of what might have put the players off in the first place … as opposed to the SOP “come back and play” emails they likely received when they first became MIA.
on a related side note: We can only do so much with the knowledge we are armed with; and since the player’s email address isn’t made known to us, its not like we can contact them and get them back playing EVEN if we do discover what set them off in the first place. that said. I’ve never known CR to not try and accomodate any request I’ve made to try and get a player back. If I had any kind of “might work” angle, they were willing to send the email and try, so I give them kudos for that.
and I’m sure an attempt or three have been made to get the players back but I would think that ESPECIALLY in the case of one long-time aff who suddenly sees such a drop-off that an extra effort be made to at least recapture SOME of such a heavy loss incurred (and in such short time span) … since they’ve obviously been there for the sponsor with such a proven history.
