I’d be interested in hearing an update on this. I’ve only recently started to promote Mainstreet and I’d like to know where it’s going before I send many players.
As has been previously mentioned, bundling and negative carry overs are two separate issues. Personally – and I know this is not a popular view here – I don’t mind the bundling issue too much as it’s easy to resolve – simply promote only one brand. I can also see the casino’s point of view as to why they would do it, although most online casinos don’t follow this practice.
My issue is the negative carry over because it’s a lose-lose situation for affiliates and the casino. If a player puts me into the red at a level that it’s not worth my time sending more players, then I’ll simply stop promoting them. The casino is then unlikely to recover the loss and won’t attract any new players.
