October conversions not so great?

[Engineer]

Is it just me, or are conversions down significantly this month? Players are clicking and signing up, but not very many are converting to depositing players. I'll be lucky to end the month with half as many new depositors compared to last month. :emoticon-0106-cryin Traffic and serps are unchanged; it appears to be purely a conversion issue.

Is anyone else seeing this?

Casinos, please ramp up your conversion and retention efforts! Get those players to deposit! This is "prime time" -- the weather is colder, the kids are back in school.... New depositor numbers should be going up, not down. Please do what you can.... Let's all make some serious :emoticon-0164-cash::emoticon-0164-cash::emoticon-0164-cash: this fall.

I am seeing an about average pace of new depositors. It does seem as though it is a bit more evenly spread out among the programs, no real stand outs this month.

 

[Guard Dog]

I've got a low depositer count, but over the last few days that has increased.

I'm surprised to find out that I'm getting some Rival depositers that are depositing more than the typical $25-$50.

Got a few in the last few days that are depositing in the hundreds... nice Maybe we will see a turn-around with them!

The surprise to me this year has been the fact that porn site conversions put these casino site conversions to absolute shame!

Probably by a ratio of at least 10 to 1 at a minimum.

I actually at first thought that the online casino business would be a worthy opponent to the online porn industry but I've come to realize that is just not the case.

It may also have something to do with the fact that there are more perverts in the world than there are gamblers too..

Conversions are def down for this time of year

 

[WCD Admin]

Interestingly, my conversions are okay *(average), but revenue is way down.

 

[Nicolas-Johnson]

Our conversions are ok, no significant statistical difference.

We have seen an increased number of high deposits, which we attribute to both improved processing, as well as new promotions to target that class of player.

Kind Regards,
Nicolas Johnson

lower conversions and deposits especially at rtg's (mainly c-planet as a result of less deposit options)

thanks to rewardsaffiliates my month is saved by just a $30 bet as a player was able to wager that for a long time ....... ;D

 

[Bonus Paradise]

So far October is less than September,
Sign ups are still ok, but depositors numbers is not average.

I would not say, C-Planet has less deposit methods,
They do just NOT grand bigger bonuses anymore for deposits via neteller and moneybookers, this seems to become a trend now!?

We now need to look carefully where we send our NON USA traffic.
Just check the 400% slots bonus offer right now at C-Planet brands.
Neteller or Moneybookers is not listed, this counts also for their weekend bonuses.

I think we all need to check more on such things.
I wanted to post about that here, but could not acces AGD
Glad to see you back!

 

[tryme1]

Yeah, slow month here too and definitely not traffic related. Traffic is up on last month but depositing players seem harder to come by. Processor problems at the USA facing casinos? I don't know but whatever it is, it's at their end, not mine.

 

[slotplayer]

I think it's still the economy as my retail site sales are way down.
They were doing surprisingly well over summer which is typically a slow time so I thought that sept and oct would be even stronger but such is not the case.

total bummer.

 

[Guard Dog]

I would love to hear more affiliate programs talk about conversions from their end of the world (not BS, real information).

Thanks Nicholas for coming into this thread and giving us that information from your perspective.

 

[talkingcasinos]

Conversions are about the same as September here. Revenue is down though.

 

[bc518]

I have more than 30 signups (October) at bet365 but less than 10 depositors. Worse than sept/aug/july. but revenue is up. I guess signups of last month contribute a lot.

Half of depositors isn't bad... compared with my stats at bet365.

Paradise8 & Cocoa

We realize that it’s the hottest time of the year for our industry and we’re really pushing to finish off the year strong. Cocoa Casino and Paradise8 have ramped up their efforts and focus on the conversions/retention side of things and the results are starting to become evident. In addition to this, both casinos have added two popular payment options to the cashier and are working hard on adding a third, so this should help with conversions too.

Both casinos were steady during the summer months and although September wasn’t as eventful as anticipated, October has provided a very bright outlook. Conversions for both casinos have shown a drastic increase since the implementation of our strategies and the forecast looks to be the most profitable yet. Deposits wise, Paradise8 is on its way to its highest deposit month of all time, while Cocoa is slightly above the years’ average.

Hope you all find that useful.

Cheers,

Jaxon

Thanks for the update Jason!

400Aff's is rockin' for me this month - maybe that is the reason since Cocoa is the one with the increased player deposits (and larger ones at that).

Very cool! Keep up the great work!

 

[Engineer]

Many helpful responses in this thread -- thanks to everyone who posted.

AGD so it must be a lot better than you posted here some time ago?

The month is not over yet but I see a slight downtrend this month for rivals regarding number and amounts of deposits.

Quite a bit! Rivals, this month, are taking up ALL the slack for my Microgaming players (who, apparently, are not playing at all)

When Jason posted above, I opened Statsremote and took a look at my stats. To my huge surprise, 400Affiliates was on top of the list (I order by $$$)

DVG is always a drain, but since there is no bundling, it's not really a problem. This month Cocoa is the one that is driving my earnings. I am actually going to do a renewed effort to promote them. Hopefully things go well.

As of right now, Statsremote shows the following as my top programs for the month (all programs, not just Rivals although it may appear that way):


1. 400 Affs
2. Slotocash
3. Pantasia
4. Rockbet
5. Simon Says Affiliates
6. Ruby Royal Affiliates
7. Affiliate Edge
8. Slots of Fortune
9. Lion Slots
10. Casino Coins


There are some drastic differences in earnings between then, but that gives you an idea how Rival's are performing for me this month. Quite the difference from the last several months where 400 was not in that list at all.

Hey guys

RA is up about 60% on last month for affiliates and going stronger every day.

There have been some amazing earnings this month so far too, as inspiration mentioned, his player wagered for a long period of time on a $30 deposit and earned him a crapload of money. Congrats mate
