My stats have generally gone down (partly possibly due to much less exposure over the last couple of years) – but even so there is a reasonable amount from forum posts …
The way I judge (rightly or wrongly) whether or not a program is legit:-
You can tell the ‘legit’ programs quite easily over time (a year or more) – those that generally increase their average earnings over every, say 3 months – like you would expect as you collect more players – look legit to me (I know players go also but overall – the amount of people playing on your tags should generally be increasing over time).
Then, there’s programs where you see the same amount every month, despite new players, and small numbers of repeat depositors – either they’re being dropped out of your stats (controversial lol) OR of course, possibly the casino retention people aren’t doing a very good job at keeping your players.
My GrandPrive stats (which I can only basically tell when I get paid!) have taken a most definite DIVE since the introduction of the new program – although still ok (and even after winning a ‘referring most players’ contest a few months back) – I’m astounded how little I earn or how many players keep playing at Grand Prive (from the stats I previously was sent via email)… bearing in mind the amount of time they’ve been promoted..
As for Big Dollar.. well I won’t bang on about that one! lol
I really do get the impression they are trying to annoy affiliates that have clocked up a big number of players over the years! Sorry but that’s the way I feel.. I find it VERY difficult to be positive in GrandPrive’s area in CAP ! (in case you hadn’t noticed lmaoo)
