If you choose to get mad at RA for not tagging them over … you must then become unhappy with other programs that do tag over … assuming you make similar income when giving similar exposure … for being so incompetent that the best they can do is earn the same as a program that didn’t tag over?
see my dillema? Who did I fault? both types earned similar income.
I just considered it a trade out much like you trade out with RB: you lose those players who you send that were originally signed with someone else … but gain a first timer for life at any of the casinos … a trade-off.
edited to add: that was then and this is now however. Reason I have sort of backed off a bit is that with the addition of all the new casinos to RA’s stable .. the one casino I had my player signed went from competing with about ten to about twice that many … and I worry with more variety it might lure more players away than I was losing in the past.
thus a bigger loss in bottom line over the long run and thus the reason I had begun shying away from running them in top spots.
They still have them (#1) on many of my sites but I just recently moved them back to a #2 spot on my highest traffic area because of this concern.

I’m still reeling that so many were unaware of this matter. It really was no secret at any time.
So please everyone refrain from calling them undeserving titles. I value honesty above all else … so that I can make my own judgments on how I choose to handle my business and RA has been honest from the go about this.
