I loved their casinos and thought the games could use some extra mechanics/features, but that they were on the right track. Really would like to see a casino software like this rise up the ranks and kick some of the more rogue operations out.

Anyone know the status? ]]> AGD RoundTable Discussion Forum Guard Dog http://www.affiliateguarddog.com/forums/wizard-gaming-coming-back-ever-t3116.html Budapest http://www.affiliateguarddog.com/forums/budapest-t3105.html Fri, 03 Sep 2010 16:06:56 GMT I was thinking about going, but have not made plans yet.

Online Casinos will typically let players deposit any amount of money into the casino. A player could deposit $100 or $10,000 with no issues. When that player WINS, though, they are restricted on the amount of money they can withdrawal. Cashout limits range from $750 / week to unlimited. A very typical weekly cashout is $2500-$3000 / week.

Where does this leave affiliates?
The problem I see (and others see as well) is that it can become very difficult to land and keep a high roller with such paltry cashout levels. A good high roller would never accept this. Which means that high rollers will go elsewhere and not be 'retained'.

Where does this leave players?
A player who wins a decent amount and has to wait weeks, months, or years, to realize that winning will be very frustrated with this payout schedule. Maybe they will play back some of that money, maybe they will move on to a casino that doesn't have such petty cashouts.

What happens now?
I have said this before.... when Vegas casinos come online, any casino with a cashout level can kiss their players goodbye. Who would accept that when Vegas would pay you all your winnings in near-immediate fashion? Answer - not many (IMO)

In June 2010, I asked Jason Carter who my affiliate was so that I could speak with them regarding incidents which happened at SunPalace casino.

I was told they could not reveal this due to "confidentiality reasons". I wanted someone to speak to in terms of how SunPalace handled a payout request after winning one of their jackpots. Incidentally, they will not flush a players account even when asked and leave the funds in there for over 5 days (hoping you will reverse and lose). They also will not provide play logs after being asked 3-4 times.

I became so disgusted with them, I closed every single account at each of their casinos. I was depositing between $400-500 each time. The affiliate should know the reason why he lost a player and understand how players feel disrespected by these casinos.

Is that normal protocol where a player should not know who the affiliate "tagged to their account" is? ]]> AGD RoundTable Discussion Forum caseydog http://www.affiliateguarddog.com/forums/question-affiliates-t3093.html Doo-Wop Daddy-O - What do you think? http://www.affiliateguarddog.com/forums/doo-wop-daddy-o-what-do-you-think-t3066.html Wed, 25 Aug 2010 14:15:09 GMT I put up my review of this slot, here: Doo-Wop Daddy-O Review | Video Slot (http://www.rivalslots.com/rival-casino-slots/1095/doo-wop-daddy-o/) ... I put up my review of this slot, here: Doo-Wop Daddy-O Review | Video Slot

(Review at the bottom of that page)


I know Rival has to put up both high and low variance slots, but it seems to me that slots with this style of bonus round are way more irritating than they are fun. Especially when you have wins like I did (Once bonus round I won $4.00 on a $2.00 betsize).

Seriously... This game is all about letting players play for a long time, but eventually losing out because there is almost no way to ever win more than you lose. I'll almost bet that 99.9% of the players will never win anything on this slot.


Anyway - that is my frustration after playing the game for quite awhile trying to gather screenshots. Anyone else played it yet?

For me they are better this month than they have been in a long time. This is thanks mainly to Sloto and Ruby Royal with a little help from a few others such as:

Simon Says
Villento

Affiliate Wide
Pantasia
BetUS

According to Statsremote, that is :)

At least this month I can use a little more affiliate income for AGD! It's been tough the last few months to ciphon much from my affiliate earnings, but seems like I am back on track with earnings again.

Although we've not been in touch for a while, we would like to reassure you that we are still very keen to continue working with you as an affiliate partner at Betway.com.

There is money currently due to you this month for net win figures, however after looking through our accounts it was flagged that you have not delivered a first active for over three months.

Unfortunately, because of this we have been forced to suspend payment in accordance with clause 14.10 in our affiliate terms and conditions.

However, I very much hope that we can resolve this problem, reach an agreement and form a successful affiliation that will deliver plenty of First Active players for Betway.com and plenty of revenue for you.

Our affiliate account managers are on-hand to help resolve this issue. Please contact your account manager directly or alternatively drop us an e-mail at partnerinfo@betway.com to further discuss how we can continue our affiliation.

I am asking this because I see a lot of bad things happening lately with the rivals from no pay to rebranding and re-using referred players without using the affiliate tags. Example planet23 rebranded as Planet Kings that use mails to hook old players to their new site for free.

So Bonne Chance do you fancy this kind of strategy all of a sudden ?

What percentage of affiliates actually spend a great deal of time on keywords?

I ask because I always think about doing this, but never follow through with it. I tend to write pages for the user and not the search engines. Maybe it's not the best way to do it, but has always been the way I have done things.

If nobody is aware, WMS Gaming is soon to launch a casino (Jackpot Party - Come on in! Play Exclusive Slots & Casino Games Online) which has some of their land-based casino games.

There is a thread at GPWA about this, but would love a great discussion here about this. Even though US is not likely going to be allowed (for players), I assume affiliates will be allowed and the interest level for current casino gamers will be phenomenal, IMO.
