The idea of no negative carry over is that the casino has a much larger volume than the affiliate, and is a lot more able to absorb the ups and downs.
I do promote places that carry over – until I hit a negative that heavily impacts my earnings with that program. Then I drop them.
And this, too, is unwise, since I still then have players there and all the income goes into a deep dark hole.
I understand that a lot of programs still do carry over negatives and so far I have regretted it every time when I promoted one of them.
I am waiting to see what will change with various programs by year end, but then I am doing some serious weeding, and bundling and negative carryovers will permanently bite the dust, even if it means I lose a player base.
The ones who bite the bullet for me on occasion will be all the better off for it, and deservedly so.
As far as changing terms on affiliates, have programs such short memories?
