Yep you are so right this company sure exploits a very shady operation and there is definately something VERY VERY fishy about them. I have been told they do not like to give transparancy to employees that work for them so now you know why their affiliate managers phrase all posts as general statements. Some could not stand that and left just recently.Today the peel ad has changed to a charity event, I used your site thecanadiangambler(nice site btw) to test this out again and followed all the way through the same steps and guess what the end result btag is?? btag=xxx.vegaspartnerlounge[dot]com/charity.asp'
This company has high rollers and whales falling into that great blue abyss more then any other out there! They forget to renew domains all the time, they have changed affiliate sites and urls more then any other program out there ! When a company is constantly changing aff programs and making affiliates change the links they have on all sites it tells me they are cleaning house washing out the non active affiliates! Please look at the history here folks this company is smelling of trouble!!?
The idea was/is to run a query to determine a player that signed up thru that promo btag. Where the player last played that affiliate should get the credit.I am confused if your using the same exact tracking code in all the mails sent how is it you can determine what affiliate sent you the original player
BUT if the player has signed up with an incorrect btag like eg btag=xxx.vegaspartnerlounge[dot]com/charity.asp' that can never be found in a query in that way Star Partner will get that player from you with no cost.
<TABLE border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=6 width="100%"><TBODY><TR><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px inset; BORDER-LEFT: 1px inset; BORDER-TOP: 1px inset; BORDER-RIGHT: 1px inset" class=alt2>Once a player registers an account a query is run in our backend that maps the player to the affiliate that referred the last played account. </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
BUT WHAT IF THE PLAYER SIGNS UP AT 2 OR MORE CASINOS AND HE/SHE HAPPENS TO HAVE FIRST PLAYED AT JUST 1 CASINO?
EG:
A maple player referred by Affiliate Ant gets this promo and signs up at sun vegas and crazy vegas. plays at sun vegas for $25 and leaves. A week later he plays again at Maple Casino for $25 and leaves. A week later he tries at Crazy Vegas for $5000 and loses all who will get the credit for that? Affiliate Ant or Starpartner ?
