An example like this sparked a wee debate about a month ago.
Common sense on “NO NEGATIVE ROLLOVER” says that :
– Your share is -$300 … so you get zero in month one
– Your share is +$300 … so you get $300 in month two
But … of course this situation is not sustainable for the casino in the long term … as the casino has paid you $300 and not made any actual profit from the customer.
One of the affiliates here had a much larger customer who had won $10000 (or some such large amount) and then proceeded to lose it back in month two.
Like you I assumed that this would be automatically paid – but it seems nearly all the negative rollover contracts have clauses allowing a match-up for large sums.
So in the case where a player wins $10K and then loses $10K:
– Your share is -$3000 … so you get zeroed out in month one
– But the customer is marked as a loss-maker
– Then in month two your share is +$3000 …
– But the loss making customer is detected …
– so you get zero (from him) in month two until he is back to profit
I was surprised – but Prof and more senior affiliates seemed to know about it.
It makes sense I guess – no-one is getting ripped off really. The casino makes to profits – so there is nothing to share. And if the customer had not given the money back in month two you would still have had month ones losses cancelled.
I am not aware of any actual numbers indicating when this “matching” comes in.
Hope that helps ?
