Self Joined as free player

It's ok for me to join any casino as free player?

I won't play for real. I just want to see what the statistic look like so I can design the database system to keep track of my casino affiliate program!

I know that I cannot join as real money player. I don't want to get my account get suspended!

I join many casinos as a free player. This is ok. It is the best way to know what the casino is about and what games are there.

I take most of my screenshots in this way.

I join as a free player too.

Incidentally, I never really understood why casinos would not want affiliates to play for real money. Surely it means more revenue for them?

It would also be the best way to test their systems for free, getting great feedback from experts (affiliates) about the way their program is working (or not)

I agree 100%. However, I believe they are afraid that every player (especially high rollers) will then sign up and get 30%-50% of their own losses back. They don't want that to happen.

Many programs WILL allow you to play on your own affiliate account, though, if you notify them ahead of time. You just need to tell them what you are planning on doing ahead of time. Let them know that you will not play at the casino if you are not able to play under your own account. That may help to change their mind if they are against it at first.

I think there is any problem with Rev-Share as you won't make any if you are winning, if you loose, that's a different story. But CPA, they don't want us to deposit for the CPA only!

So, I guess with any casino that I apply for Rev-Share, I can join as a real player! With CPA, I don't think I can. But I think I am going to change to rev-share all the way now!
