This is a really unique idea -- I like it.

[WCD Admin]

I'm torn. The whole idea that shaving is in the industry at all pisses me off. The "reverse shaving" promotion hit me the wrong way. I have a hard time thinking about shaving and smiling at all. So a reverse shaving promo for affiliates seems almost like a slap in the face.... no offense, just being honest about that.

[bonustreak]

I am torn also, it is very unique idea but also it plays on a very serious issue in this business. I myself loose hundreds if not thousands each month from programs shaving me. I would love the extra players but I think I am going to gain them through good ole' seo and hard work instead of this contest. Cheers John you know your my man still ...lol PLUS I don't need a contest to prove to me that your brands are trustworthy, I know they are

[Vladi]

Great idea man, but I gotta agree that the tagline is a bit close to the bone given the number of dodgy #@&!s this industry attracts.

Instead of reverse shaving you should have called it hair replacement therapy or something (I admit it, I got nuthin)

[RockbetJohn]

I knew this might touch a few people the wrong way but I wanted to put a positive spin on something negative. It does happen and I am not going to keep silent about it. I think to not talk about it isn't productive on it's own either and I have seen some discussions about shaving jumpstart some affiliates to do some investigations on their own.

So with this contest I knew this discussion would come up and I don't mind talking about it and I also wanted to prove my program doesn't shave so having players added to your accounts would be a breath of fresh air.

Apologies if I have offended anyone but I hope this contest is a success and at the end of the day around 100 lucky affiliates will end up with depositing players to their accounts with peace of mind that the opposite is not happening.

While the name of the promotion is very provoking the least (though I like it lol and have to admit that it will get attention for sure), I still think that we should talk about this problem, silence doesn't solve anything.

I'm actually glad to see an affiliate program starting the discussion about this problem even in a form of a promotion.

[inspiration]

I do not like the idea of having a contest for affiliates this way. Certainly not after having to deal with the issues occurred within this industry and affiliates wondering about why commissions are gone due to manager credits.

Why not give the player a chance to win a superb bonus deal so it serves both ends (e.g. better player value) ?

[RockbetJohn]

The players already get decent promotions and if you want custom promotions for your site and your players those can be setup. Without these the existing offers I think are very good on their own to add value for players and affiliates.

I don't want to give too much away but am working on some upcoming player promotions on top of the affiliate contest.
