Yea, this is more along the lines of what I was driving at. So they are sitting there collecting dividends on real money lost, meanwhile they put some fantasy money in these accounts and ding you. Bonus money should not even become part of the equation unless there is a cashout. I wonder when all is said and done what our real % is. It certainly would not be 35% under these circumstances. It’s really quite amazing how crapy some of these business models are. They turn a profit, while we are left holding our XXXX in our hand.

Some RTG operators award an excessive amount of bonuses and manager credits. These bonuses and credits often far outweigh deposits and it almost appears that this is a creative way of ensuring affiliates receive little or no commission. See my actual stats below for an illustration:
Ok so my players DEPOSIT $2,339.00
The Casino shows net winnings for the month of $3,394.84BUT they CLAIM a total of $4553 in Bonus Coupons and Manager Credits so I receive NOTHING! In fact they are showing I have a negative commission balance of $351!!!!
I am sorry but ONLY RTG operators do this. I have NEVER seen a Microgaming or even a Playtech Operator do this to cancel out affiliate earnings.
At the very LEAST I should have earned $3394.84 x 35% = $1,187.90Not ended up with a negative balance. While I can understand player bonues, it APPEARS that “Manager Credits” are used as a convenient way to rob me of commissions.
