I don’t disagree with you often bb1, but here goes. Kinda.

I’ve said all along that if Vegas gets the chance to go online it will all but wipe out the aff market as we have come to know it.

Yes, it will change it.

imagine how the ads will saturate both online and off; and what purpose will an aff portal have to serve if you are constantly hit with the reminder to type in MGM.com (as an example)?

No doubt. There will be a heft licensing price tag, and those that can afford it will be screaming all over the airwaves.

people simply won’t have a need for us. Sure there may be aff programs offered but unless you are offering some type of unique content interesting enough to readers to bring them to your site they simply won’t bother to visit.

What could be interesting? Many of the same things that are interesting now would still be interesting. Payout rates? Varying incentives? Player complaint records?

gone will be the days of listing only reputable programs to save people from signing up at casinos that don’t pay. I’m sure Vegas’ first advertising angle will be how they are US regulated and sure to pay.

Pay what? 73% Slot payouts?

very few people will be foolish enough to stray from such claims (at least in the states) when they have such a guarantee as that it is US regulated to offer fair-odds games and to pay winners. IMHO.

Fair odds differ quite a bit from good odds.

Vegas going online will be very bad for aff marketing IMHO. And btw if you don’t think these places will hire the best SEO experts you’re kidding yourselves.

Look at the travel industry. Ever heard of Priceline? Orbitz? Travelocity?

Granted, the travel industry has a million destinations to choose from. Ehhh… nevermind, maybe you’re right.

However, the US is full of big crappy companies. Someone will need to tell US surfers what the best offers are depending on what the surfer is looking for. It will also mean player expansion. Think about all of those people who would like to gamble if they could get a casino to accept their debit card.
