That's for sure.

Many thanks! I'd like to think that the ball is rolling albeit slowly.

Hi Lloyd, Per your suggestion. Will affiliate Cruise agree to be audited on a regular basis if affiliates nominate an auditing firm? Looks like your program is pretty transparent, hopefully it will set an example for other programs to follow.

Duly noted and thanks! I might be wrong here but I sense that there might be mutual respect. Thing is I understand exactly where Dave is coming from, as a seasoned affiliate he's seen the same old song and dance many times before. His initial comment was specifically geared towards 'KK's'...

Many thanks for this information 'KK'. I fully understand now why the bonus terms have become more 'malicious' over the years. Despite the fact that you have a bunch of bonus hunters trying to exploit it, it's one area where an operator can 'get one over' novice players. One question out...

It would be interesting to know the ratio of players who do accept bonuses and those who don't.

Bet4You makes a very valid point here. I always have a look at the operator side of things first before I start crafting a casino review. It defeats the object somewhat if you have a great affiliate program but lousy operator. In my opinion it can lead to 'ambiguous' advertising.

I couldn't have said it better.

Hi Dave, Yes I have. I don't think your tone is cynic I know where you're coming from. Lotso's take on affiliates uniting is quite funny but it's the truth. I'm just surprised that affiliates know exactly what's going on but no one is doing anything about it. I don't think affiliate programs...

Another important aspect is to find out the ratio percentage wise; how many players affiliates refer to an operator as opposed to direct sign ups. Obviously this will differ from casino to casino and from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Operators licensed in the UK are not that reliant on...

Here's my two cents: 1. Request that the software providers furnish us with their stats so that we can corroborate it with that of the affiliate programs'. Then again this would spell the 'end' of affiliate programs since we're getting the stats directly from the source. I've been told it's a...

Many thanks for the kind note. I sincerely believe as a collective we can accomplish great things.

An ex-affiliate manager just made a comment to the article I wrote. This is what he had to say:

Thanks. This has been the ongoing debate all along, the removing of high rollers from affiliates' accounts. Affiliate programs guilty of this have drummed up every conceivable excuse in the book (player self-excluded, player stopped playing and so forth) to justify the 'skimming'.

Very good idea. It would be even more interesting if you had say $5000 to give each volunteer. High-value players tend to disappear from affiliate accounts for no rhyme or reason.:(
