We have been with Bookmaker as an affiliate and sometimes a player for almost two years. They have usually been pretty awesome to deal with. That is until most recently.
As you know the new 10 player rule states that you must have 10 active/wagering players to be eligible to collect your commission. The affiliate managers and operators at BM said it came down from the ownership itself.
It is obvious to us what happened here. As with any corporation, when numbers slump, they have a sales meeting and start ‘brain storming’ on ways to increase revenue. Some “genious” suggests to the owner to have a minimum player rule that will encourage all affiliates to generate more sales. And with all pea brain schemes, the owner of this idea failed to think about the reaction for their action. Affiliates, like all humans, love money. We create new ways to make money all the time and work hard at it. The idea that we need some type of rule to make the proverbial lightbulb come on is totally absurd.
In fact, they have just pissed off a hundred loyal affiliates, who together generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue quarterly.:flush:
Good job Bookmaker, you have made the first major move toward destroying your successful model. And these things usually come in threes so everybody get ready for some more blunders before they remove this rule…
