I have been "burned" so many times by NCO (Negative Carry-Over) that I have vowed to NEVER sign-up to another program with it.

NCO is a nightmare for a low-volume affiliate like me - just one lucky player has wiped out any chance of me receiving any commission for 6-months, 9-months, 12-months, 18-months, and in one case I predicted it would take me 11-years to get back into the black!

These are actual cases which have already happened to me.

One of the programs agreed to remove the Big Winner Player from my account.
Another refused to cooperate, so I was forced to removed them totally from my sites, despite me very highly rating them as one of the best casinos on the net.
Tradition Casino introduced NCO retroactively, then refused to compensate effected affiliates (well, me anyway) in any way. Dumped,obviously!

All the ones above asked me to improve visibility of their casinos by moving them up the pages, or putting banners on my home pages etc. to try to bring in more players and so reduce the NCO quicker... Yeah right! Sure I'm going to favour their banners for NO income over the 95% of other casinos I list who don't have NCO! :eek:

The few others I still list I'm limping along with to see what happens. Pretty stupid really because I know what is going to happen eventually... :(

Am I the only one who feels like this?
Opinions please!
