I dropped them like a hot potato but that was a while back. This "oh lets hook up a telephone call to chat about it", Bullshit, really started to annoy me. That and the fact I don't trust them as far as I could throw them, was the decider for me. They may not be bending you over now BUT promote them long enough and they will!
There's still the 32Red group but... As excellent as they are to me as a VIP, I did some calcs a few weeks back. In 7 years, promoting them full on for 3 of them, on multple sites, my total commission amounts to a tad over $33K. About $4.7K a year.
I make more than that with some programs in a single month.
Seeing they have the $10 no deposit now, contacted my AM askimng if they would send mailers out to ALL my players who had signed up but not deposited. Thinking the $10 freebie might get them to drop a deposit. Answer... We don't do that here. End of story!
I've asked other programs the same question and they're happy to do it. In fact most think it's a great idea and add a little extra to sweeten the promo.
Edit: Can't help wonder why it's a BIG no no! That mentality kinda pisses me off because I've stuck with them for years, earning sweat F#ck-All and now when I ask a simple request; no skin off their proboscis, well...
