Hmmmm, every couple of months the same thing happens. A new affiliate comes on this message board bashing established programs that have great reputations amongst both players and webmasters.

A couple of questions:

1. Did you choose reward affiliates because they pay the wager share model versus the player loss model?

2. Are you getting players to visit the casino, to make the minimum deposit, play the minimum required under the terms and conditions, and then explaining to those players when they should cash out?

3. Are you assuming that even if the player cashes out the exact same amount they deposited that you will be earning money from the wager model?

4. Are your players playing at the casino because they are gamblers or are they trying to defraud the casino?

I think I all ready know the answers.

1. No – I have chosen to promote every kind of casinos (the well known reputable ones). All I do is I make my homework at casinomeister atleast so I won´t promote casinos that are known for problems so plain rogue ones or even the ones with some known problems won´t make my site (and I also try to play in the casino first myself). I did not even know which model Reward Affiliates used before the first time I logged in to my account there actually. Over 90% of the casinos I promote at the moment use revenue share only. I pick casinos to promote from the players perspective, not from affiliates perspective -> see the reason for this in the point three.

2. I don´t and can´t even control how my players play. I just honestly tell the facts to them about every casino and what kind of promotions they run at the moment. One of the reasons I chose Yukon at the beginning was that I know that most of my players are complete newbies at online casinos and they (Yukon Gold) have decided to run a promotion targeted to newbie gamblers where you can try online casino gambling safely with cashback promotion and small deposits. My principal is not to lie to my players trying to lure them into big deposits when they are new to gaming so that my possible comission would be the biggest possible (I see this kind of affiliate websites about casinos more than often).

3. Of course I don´t. I am not stupid so that I won´t understand how different comission models work. I am not trying to make money actually – I know that when content is lucrative enough in general -> one will get more visitors -> more comission after long enough period of time.

4. See number two.

My point with this thread was to ask about general practices used at this industry, because I felt pretty not well handled by a group accredited here when they did not inform me about radical change with my affiliate account at the first place, but I had to contact them myself to get an answer after a few days then. This is a practice that I am not used to when working in any kind of a business – I have some experince in importing business and in sub-affiliating business before this hobby of online gambling affiliating (I am a professional poker player myself at the moment). And I think I got my answers here, thanks to posters.

Cheers!
