Hi
I will try and deal with all the comments and issues brought up as best as I can.
Allfreechips, I am not sure how you came to the conclusion that we are taking a rev share from the casinos, this is factually incorrect. We work on a CPA basis only. We would need a huge cashflow if we were to attempt to work on a rev share with the amount of properties we are dealing with and, contrary to popular belief, players do win lol, and we would potentially be left with a negative whilst paying out CPA.
You make it sound like B4Playing has some mind control over the players, I wish we did, but we will do our best to retain the players within the B4Playing properties that we promote so that the Multiple-CPA model brings you the dividends you would not otherwise receive.
Cagney, I am still investigataing this issue. What baffles me most is why a group of casinos would want to attach players to an affiliate in all their casinos when the player might join each one separately and possibly as “default”.
Casinobonusguy, to my knowledge we wont be making any more press releases about working with cpays. If we continue promoting their properties it will be based on how they work with us, after all we are their affiliate too.
Gamtrak, I am really sorry to hear about your problem and I know hindsight is a wonderful thing but if you have any evidence to approach them with regarding your deal then this is a legal issue between you and the affiliate program.
The way I see it is that for the majority of affiliates a multiple-CPA deal is a great prospect. Most affiliates do not have a highly ranked site on the search engines, have the constant flow of unique or returning traffic or have the assurance of picking up a whale of a player.
The affiliates that have been in the business a long time have built up many sites so that rev share has become a positive aspect for them, especially in the days when noone, including the search engines themselves, knew the value in SEO.
B4Playing is attempting to change the concept that rev share is the best thing for an affiliate by introducing multiple-CPA.
Whether you are a small, medium or super-affiliate it makes no difference. You are getting paid for a player that has the potential to earn you far more without fear of them disappearing. The min qualifying deposit is $50, which in my experience is the average min deposit made by new players. It is no secret that most players have more than one property on their desktop so the B4Playing strategy is simple, honest and will be effective. We are giving affiliates the chance to multiply their earnings through cross branding without fear of being in the negative from a winner or totally losing players through cross-marketing or other factors.
We are not associated with any gambling property. We are affiliates and we understand the business enough to know that B4Playing is the best tool to retain players and give affiliates the chance to earn far more per player than they normally would.
Have a good weekend everyone and if you have anymore questions or comments then please feel free contacting me.
