But it must be stipulated in the T&C’s.
You’ve been listening to double speak too long Fergie – and now you’re starting to repeat it.
:notify:
The concept of NO NEGATIVE CARRYOVERS means that it’s implementation is designed to pay out to affiliates when customers win one month and lose the next.
THe only time when NO NEGATIVE CARRYOVERS doesn’t do this would be the case is when a player wins big and then quits – and never ever plays again.
What did the affiliate program THINK it was promoting – when it proudly said it had NO NEGATIVE CARRYOVERS ????
If the wishy-washy term of not pay commissions on past winnings was added then you would NOT have NO NEGATIVE CARRYOVER anymore. Indeed in reality nearly all negatives would carry unless the players quit.
I would expect the program to specifically state :
– the dollar limits that the casino would apply this to a customer
– how long that customers win would be applied against future losses.
Then the program could implement it going forward -but they’d have to ANSWER – yes we do carry over negatives – and be straight up about it.
Additionally – given the horror that some affilaites recoil from programs that have negatives (eh Dominique? ) :woo-hoo: – the program would risk losing affiliates during the switch and also whenever an affilaite got into a big negative hole.
This would mean that the program is stuck with the same problem as the money is paid out – and the affiliate leaves.
So effectively this might mean that in future all commisions due to an affiliate were not paid out immediately but actually held for a period (3-6 months?) in order to have funds to claim against.
To my mind the implementation of this “clause” is not a simple one to do properly – and certainly does not seem to exist in their current T&Cs.
I’ll agree that a high percentage payout and no negative carryover is risky to a program – but a contract is a contract – and they need to honour the exisiting one
… and then publicly change the terms – and remove the reference to no negative carryover.
