…But back on the main topic.. sorry for re-posting…
Hi there all,
I was wondering if anyone else had any conversations about Big Dollar Casino’s affiliate program?
Having a forum, there have been lots of posts about this ‘new’ casino (well I’m sure most know the history so I won’t go on about that and their Brightshare days), but my annoyance here is their marketing seems to be excluding affiliates on purpose – using all of the players we have referred to (ahem) Grand Prive Casinos and then marketing to them with no cross-referral from those that originally referred these players.
Now, I am pretty sure that most ‘decent’ Microgaming affiliate programs reward their affiliates for cross-marketing when they refer a player to one of their ‘sister’ casinos – but this is not the case with Big Dollar.
I wrote a rather annoyed note to Referspot, and sorry to be venting but I’m getting rather annoyed with them. They say they are ‘nothing to do with Big Dollar’ except then they admit they ARE doing the affiliate program AND casino support.
Referspot have for some reason taken AGES to release their new affiliate program/site – which has been promised for well over a year, from which before we had Lake Palace casino (when a similar thing happened), riding the forums for free advertising of their no deposit bonuses and having no referrals.
As an affiliate amongst many paying for the upkeep of my sites – this is paid for by affiliate programs for casinos we are referring players to – either via forum topics or any means.
Big Dollar who’s affiliate program is supposed to be at http://www.bigdollaraffiliates.com – just says ‘testing’ or something.
Anyway, my point (at last lol)..
Having spoken with someone from Referspot about this today they reassured me ‘something’ was coming – hopefully for CAP Euro – for referspot and bigdollar would follow – but I’ve just heard this too many times.
What I don’t understand is this – how they can set up a new casinos ‘just like that’ but can’t (or maybe don’t / won’t) set up an affiliate program with it – it seems like pretty standard stuff to me – microgaming must capture and be able to provide a great number of stats based on which page/site the player came from.
I have created a 468×60 banner to show when Big Dollar is mentioned at our forum – http://www.casino-crush.com/images/bigdollar/bigdollar468.gif.
The point being here I feel safer promoting and having links to casinos that we have an affiliate agreement, revenues (ideally) and more importantly for forum members – a contact should any issues occur – which we don’t have.
I was thinking Maybe if more affiliates can apply some pressure they can get their act together a bit more quickly.
I know Grand Prive (Referspot) have had a bunch of complaints in the not so distant past about things, and you’d think they (directly involved or not), might actually pull their finger out and speed things up …
Venting over… lol…
Any other feedback/findings would be most appreciated.
Happy Promoting Always I hope
