I voted “excellant signups who needs americans” – although my fantastic results are from american poker players lol. I think lots were looking for a new room to play that accepts us.
business is average
– registrations
– real playersconsumer demand is definitely there – but the election and coming thanksgiving may be eating on their gambling activities
slightly above average. Almost as usual. I’ve got more players from USA than usual.
Average, but we just got some favorable search positions in September which have boosted revenue in new programs to make up for lost revenue in other programs.

How is your business this month?I’ve spent too much time reorganizing my site when I should of spent that time on marketing. Everytime I feel like I can move forward another affiliate program who’s been saying “business as usual” goes ahead and screws things up and then it’s back to the drawing board.
To say that i didn’t get screwed over is a big underestimation. But life in the middle of the month is above average thanks to CNN and BBC and the like who have stopped saying that gambling is illegal.
You know what? For the first time i saw on my skin how unprofessional reporters are. They just talk and claim that it is what happened. Something like blackhat SEO…bunch of spamming wankers who dont know shit what they are talking about….
….sry got taken away there, different post…:yang2:
Hey Lou,
I think we should start doing 2 polls for the next few months“How you doing compared to before the law?”
“How is business this month compared to last month?”
My month is horrible compared to pre law, but i’m up a little from the daily average of Oct 13-31st.
Good point Amcan. We will do an end of month poll like that this month and start the two poll system next month.
I am also considering a third and fourth poll for US Webmasters and Non US Webmasters. I am curious to see if the polls reveal anything as I notice that Non US webmasters seem to be doing better after the legislation while US based ones seem to be doing worse. Assuming most everyone markets on the same internet and to the same pool of potential players then the two groups should NOT be wide apart statistically, but forum posts make me think there may be an anomoly.

Good idea.
My hunch is you are right. I also think it may be something to do with the fact that you Americans were largely “first” in to the market and therefore might have substantial sums from US players in older programs who have thus been more affected by the legislation. The newer affiliates may be more “spread” around and be promoting more euro-centric brands thus having less of a “historic” US “base” over the past year or two and consequently less affected by legislation such as this, partially through necessity, partially through knowledge in the area.
Quite possibly, back then, people like 888, Party and the big Playtechs were the main brands: lucrative and with less competition and as such cornered a large section of the US affiliate market. All three of which have obviously now pulled out, hence why this overnight discrepency has occurred.
I think the reverse would happen if all the UK bookmakers suddenly pulled out of the UK for example: the UK affs would feel it much harder than the US affs.
Finally, one thing that might be harder to measure with a poll: my bet is the biggest sufferrers have less baskets in which their eggs are laid: or at least, one or two baskets holding a disproportionate number of eggs. That too would seem logical on the “historical” front as today we are more spoiled for choice…well, good choices anyway
