And to put an end to how different lodging and casino industries – I can open a bed and brekfast tomorrow, but a casino – I dont think so.
ok, you cant open a bank tomorrow(much harder then opening a casino) yet the banks still pay VERY good money to affiliates……. why, because affiliate model are more profitable then spending money on raw advertising
yes of course they spend money on raw advertising because they need to build a brand and brand awareness and raw advertising is still profitable, just because its not as profitable as other methods, it doesnt mean they shouldnt do it.
why doe banks do it ?
why doe ebay do it ?
why doe william hill do it ?
why doe amazon do it ?
why dont they just spend all that money they pay affiliates on advertising ? becasue its not as profitable.
The affiliate model works and whichever casino wants to make more money will do it.
you mention that all the land based casinos dont offer bonuses, thats because they have higher fixed costs then online casinos(hence online casinos can offer better odds) the same as me buying a brand new laptop will cost much more on the high street as opposed to buying it online ( online stores offering a discount is the same as casinos offering a signup bonus)
