Obviously that cannot happen. Affiliates don’t make a set income, they get a percentage. The casinos make less, affiliates make less automatically. It’s not like affiliates continue to make the same when the casinos make less.
I would probably be raising commissions to get prime exposure which will lead to more players, more commissions, more $$$$$, everyones happy.
That has been for instance Casino Reward’s policy, giving a much higher percentage last month as incentive.
But again speaking from experience …. its damn tough to earn anything with bundling involved for the above reasons.
Really, this holds true for every size affiliate. If you have more players, you also have more players that win and you get wiped out no matter what size affiliate you are. In my experience this has wiped out 1/3rd to one half of all income from a group. That’s substantial, but I have seen wipe-outs every other to every third month under such conditions.
That said, if the change is retroactively applied, then it’;s the same old ground – it’s breaking a contract and that’s not right.
But for players acquired following the announcement, that’s fair IMO.
Agreed. It may not be smart, but if it’s not retroactive then no contracts are broken and the program can do as it pleases. Doesn’t mean we have to like it or continue to promote it.
