1. The player wins, let’s say $1,000 at the end of the month – is it wrong now for the players to win money? Even if he wasn’t an affilite, he would still win the $1,000, so what’s the fuss?
2. The player loses $1,000, which after 25% commission = $750. What, you are not happy that the sportsbook made an extra $750 this month?!? Get over it, the whole deal brought you $750 instead of $0. Whining about a player losing $750 instead of $1,000, especially in these hard times, is down right asinine.
3. All players bets come to even money for the monht. Did Canbet lose anything? No. Did Canbet gained anything – yes, a player who would potentially lose money next month.
Here’s another:
4. I allow players to open accounts as affiliates, and claim the great new 25% “rebate” on their losses. It works so well as a retention tool, that I actually encourage it, and tell players to open new accounts on their own tags as opposed to the hardworking affiliate that initially sent them (or, of course, word just gets around naturally about this great new “bonus”.)
It’s a slippery slope, which like I said, is in nobody’s interest.
