US Traffic Redirect

[Guard Dog]

I sure would like more information on this. Seems like the PR email left out some quite-important facts. Can someone from Brightshare please clarify things such as:

1. How will the redirect work?

2. What casino will it be redirected to?

3, How do we trust that the third-party casino will be trustworthy?


There are a lot more questions I would have, but I certainly would want to know that before throwing my US traffic to the wind.

EMAIL:

We would like to update you that currently the remnant US traffic that our clients' are receiving is being redirected to an online casino operator who accepts US players. The tracking of the traffic has been set up to enable existing affiliate banner tags to be passed on.

Therefore, all our affiliates will be earning their regular revenue share on the portion of the net revenues that our casinos will generate from these US players. Our affiliate reports are currently being updated accordingly so that all relevant US players from day one will be accounted for.

This has only just gone live so it will take a few days to put everything in place.

We will keep you posted.

Thank you for any clarification you might have.

Well, since you find on the Royal Joker Casino Homepage "Member of the Jackpot Factory Group" and the affiliate tracking is still within Intertops.
I think it could be Intertops Red where they will redirect!?

BTW, I never really got an explanation why Royal Joker is now owned by Jackpot Factory and the affiliate program is still Intertops.
Or did we?

Hi All,

Here are some more details regarding us traffic:

1. How will the redirect work?
When a US player clicks on the download button or the instant play on any one of our sites – he is redirected to a co branded landing page where he is able to download the Jackpot Capital casino. The bTag is carried over.

2. What casino will it be redirected to?
Jackpot Capital

3, How do we trust that the third-party casino will be trustworthy?
We did research the market and these guys have been in the business for over 10 years now, and are known as one of the most trusted casinos out there.

4. Are we going to be earning our affiliate share off of your affiliate share, is that how it is set up?
Yes, their affiliate share is off of what we earn from the traffic.

I hope these info is helpful and let me know if you need further assistance.

Jackpot Capital - Interesting, thanks Lyiu

So, Brightshare is going to pay us the comission from these players then?

Do we see reports for this players in Brightshare?

[Liyu]

Hi,

Yes, Brightshare is going to pay the comission for players coming through this channel.

Actually we put up a separate report for this purpose already, whoever are sending traffic will see stats in "Additional Earning Report". We will send more details about this report later during this week.

Brightshare is going to pay the comission for players coming through this channel.

Would this be the channel located in the U.S that appeared to be having technical difficulties a few weeks ago? I believe this was discussed at the GPWA.

Hi Greek39,

Thanks for the feedback.
If you were referring several weeks ago we had some site issues, then these are 2 separate things and have nothing to do with each other.

The site issues are solved already.

Now we are offering a new deal for whoever is bringing U.S. traffic to us.
I hope this is clear now.

Hi Bonus Paradise,

Regarding Royal Joker Brand, as it shows on the site - Jackpot Factory has taken over the Royal Joker Brand. The brand was taken with many attribute unique to Royal Joker. Among those was the relationships with their affiliates and the management of the payments which their program can make each month.

A second consideration was made on the relationships and promises made to existing affiliates. On this point there was a great deal of thought given as to how the commitments could be carried through in full including on players who had not yet started playing at the time of transition. It was felt that the best way of ensuring each and every commitment was met was to keep the management of the affiliate program with Intertops for an extended period of time.

The decision made was to outsource the Intertops affiliate capabilities for an initial period of 12 months based on the two factors mentioned above. We believe that this is the best solution for affiliates to guarantee fairness and fulfillment of commitments made. The team at Intertops is highly regarded and very professional and Jackpot Factory would not have agreed to this had there not been guarantees on the level of service in place. Jackpot Factory has full transparency on the affiliate system and can account for every referral tag to the Royal Joker site. This is a unique relationship with many benefits including a transfer of best practices that can only benefit the affiliates in the long term.

I hope this answers your question.
Let me know if you'd like more information

Best,

Hi All,

Just to make it very clear : Royal Joker Brand taken over by Jackpot Factory has nothing to do with U.S. traffic redirect - 2 totally separate issues.

So is the Joker then subject to bundling with the Brightshare casinos or not?
