Hi,
they are the same.
glad this thread got bumped actually.
after the new law has been in effect a while.. which programs for you are increasing every month.
now taking into consideration that all programs have had serious setback due to the new laws…… and the fact that now that new law has been around a while…….. those programs…. (probably all of them) that saw setbacks from the beginning …. should by now be starting to climb out of whatever slump they fell into ….. and have begun increasing their bottom line again each month.
now for example…. at one time I was making much more at some programs than I did when the fall out happened. The programs which have slowly showed an increase in bottom line since the fall out have been
brightshare …. doing fairly well
Casino Rewards …. at least staying even or increasing a bit.
everyone else …. not showing the kind of increase I would expect and therefore I’ve cut back to basically the above two. *plus the above two have proven to be getting players paid although there have been a few bumps in the road … in the end the players were paid and satisfied at least t to point they don’t think I sent them to some place that was out to rip them off.
I can’t say they all have chosen to return to play at some of the casinos that took too long to get them paid … but I can say that nobody can claim I sent them to some place that didn’t in the end …. make things right.
please add your experiences as I know for myself …. I’m looking for programs that are as stated … logically increasing the bottom line month to month.
I’d also like to be made aware of programs that start out strong and then fall off as that is IMHO a good sign of a program that takes advantage of you by showing you a good start … making you think you should increase their exposure …… therefore they are getting exposed to the majority of your player base (loyal surfers) … and then a few months later you see the income drop off …… Vegas Partners was very much a program that fits into that description in my experience. perhaps yours was different and i hope so. But personally i’d suggest you be very careful about this program because to me ….. it seemed like they wanted to gain more exposure by proving to be profitable ……. and they did …… and they were all over my sites and had obviously been exposed to the majority of my visitors … all sudden my income dropped off month after month to eventually nothing because I have a limited number of traffic that although loyal … seldom increased.
I suppose that those of you who have a steady stream of new visitors will stay in favor of such tactics but those of us who have built a loyal following … simply don’t have the numbers to continue to look attractive and therefore are IMHO chosen to be the ones to have their income drop off.
Now it could be that there isn’t any cheating going on. Perhaps such a program is simply incompetent to keeping retention. I cannot say and it doesn’t really matter does it? you still see wasted ad spots that when other casinos are placed there …… see an steady income and/or increased income over time which is how logic states it should be if you’re working with a competent or honest program.
