Bundling

[WCD Admin]

I know its been hashed to death, but I am rekindled.

Disclaimer: 400 affiliates and Lion slots DO NOT BUNDLE. They are just a handy example.

Bundling: where a program represents more than one casino and then holds your earnings hostage at one because of a winner in another.

Why this is not fair: let's take two examples on this board. Lion Slots and 400 affiliates. Assuming they were both on this site and I decided to promote them because they are certified.

Sample:
Lion Slots gets 1 position, it's one casino
400 Affs gets 4 positions because it has four casinos

Why this isn't fair to Lion Slots (or you!) in this example: because 400 affiliates is taking FOUR spots on your website!! - if you do well in ThisisVegas, but then have a big winner in Paradise8, you could lose your earnings. You might start to wonder why you gave these guys FOUR spots on your site. When you only get ONE check.

Disclaimer: Please remember - this is an example only - I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea, as you can see below from Andy's post that 400 no longer bundles casinos. I want to be clear on that. This was only an example.

Exactly why I do not promote affiliate programs that bundle... and if I do, why I would only promote 1 of their casinos.

Now - with that said... 400 Affiliates does not bundle And, yes, I updated their icon to show that. Previously they did bundle, but when TIV and Davinci's tore off from the group - bundling went away.

Ah, thats a relief... going to edit my post to protect the innocent :]

Question then: Can I promote TIV and Davinci outside of 400affilaites somehow? I didn't know they broke away. I have been trying to boost TIV exposure, because I've seen that affiliate Manager (John?) go above and beyond trying to help affiliates in the forums.

If I promote bundling programs I only promote one casino which I think is best and stick with it. You could still get hit with cross promotions if they track them but this hasn't happened to me so far.

The only two bundlers I promote are Roxy (Roxy Casino) and Brightshare (All Jackpots).
