As far as I remember, it’s taken every “new” manager a while to figure out how things “work” at Gambling Wages (including Nicolas). It seems like each time a new manager comes around, we have some delayed payments, they finally get things working for everyone the way that they should be, and then they are gone.
I have no idea how they manage to pick up some of the best affiliate managers, but that’s what keeps us promoting them (me at least). These casinos don’t have the greatest reputations, but I have been willing to promote them as long as they have been willing to answer and FIX any player issues that I have brought to their attention. Their affiliate managers have got to work as hard (if not harder) than many of the affiliate managers in this industry. I have to give them some respect for that as individuals because it’s not their fault that the GW casinos have the reputation that they do. In my opinion, the owners should have done everything in their power to keep Natalie because she had both the player and affiliate side of things running smoothly for quite a while and that’s something that will take a hell of a lot of work to reach and maintain. Nicolas was on the right track but another great AM bites the dust!
For now, I’ll do the exact same thing I did when Nicolas first started. If payments become delayed (they are only 1-day late as of this post) I will remove the GW properties from my site until things are in order again. When I am confident that both players and affiliates will be taken care of I will add them back.
Why? Because the accept all U.S. players, they convert (and retain), and their AM’s have always been willing to fix any player/affiliate issues that I have brought to them in a timely fashion.
I’ve invested too many “eggs” in their basket over the years to give up on them forever and I still have yet to regret that decision. There have been a lot of more “reputable” groups to screw us over and I am sure there will be in the future as well.
