I would in my opinion say the story is not true. If I had that many monthly players, I wouldn’t quit the business. I would reinvest some of the money back into the biz to keep attracting new players.
I went back and checked all my paperwork as I print everything out every month. I’ve received over the last 7 years payments from 143 different sites as their aff. Of course back then each site pretty much had their own aff program.
Now this is the shocker – I’ve had 67,210 new players of which over 40k never placed a deposit and from what I can tell only 17 are still playing today. I’ve made a little over 400k in the 7 years and my biggest month was 32k. Since 2003, I’ve averaged total 10k a month until the end of 05. Right now, I’m averaging a fraction of that but it keeps picking up and I’m optimistic again.
