Bet365 - Reduced revenue amounts Feb and Mar 2018

[RacingJim]

Anyone else noticing large drops in revenue?

e.g. For February I made 50% of what I have typically come to expect based on the previous 6 months.

March has started even worse, I am on 25% of what I would usually expect to be on.

At this moment I am not going to start shouting that they've changed something, but the possibility is there if this carries on e.g. maybe added a hidden admin fee % or something else.

I think there are a few on here that have their suspicions. I have already mentioned in a previous post that we have just a few players but they did bet most days and for the last two months have not bet at all.

O but it did show 2 clicks from somewhere.

Is your account still live with Bet365 or do you login just for stats and invoices?

We had one big player which appears to have disappeared at the same time.

I was told it's a coincidence. After years of profitable months, it's been a 8 month negative streak, that broke even last month and went into the negative this one again. Go figure.

My account is very decent with lots of activity and deposits.
2017 was excellent, first month of this year decent.
Just last month and this month so far it's gone terrible, could just be a bad 6 weeks of results but never seen a drop off so sharply like this, something to monitor.
The active accounts and deposits are still similar to how they've always been, just the revenue is garbage.

As I wrote you via PM. My account is closed, but the revenue is good.

For example Jan 2017 was my record month ever. Jan 2018 was only 20% worse.
February 2017 was quite a **** (~ 50% of Jan 2017); Feb 2018 was 15% better than Feb 2017!
March 2018 so far is like Feb 2018 and worse than March 2018, but nothing dramatic.

During last 2 years I always had consistent monthly revenue between the rates of Jan 2017 (max) and Feb 2017 (min) -> so fluctuation within min and 2xmin=max. This goes on now.

The numbers of active players decline. Slowly. But the rate of decline is smaller and smaller, which is good. Hopefully there will be the core of players that will bring the bet365 dividend.

I do not see any suspicious things. I am actually very pleased and amazed how consistent bet365 are. Sorry to hear that you guys have bad results. May be that you were targeting just certain geos and players. It is impossible to see it. Fingers crossed that I will not start a similar thread during the next months.

Been fairly solid here, the active user numbers haven’t changed a great deal even though the brand has clearly been promoted less from the affiliate channel and revenues are kind of where we’d expect. Today’s update for yesterday was very strong (bad day at Cheltenham maybe for some?) which was nice!

[TheGooner]

Last month was down a bit - but UK teams winning Champions League games will do that.

Overall it's been steady which is actually a bit surprising as we are getting very few new signups with this "limited" promotional scheme that bet365 have adopted with affiliates - no appearances on pages linked to social media, no affiliate content, no useful stuff at all.

I guess revenue is eventually going to trend downwards.

EDIT :
Just checked - and I spoke too soon.
We dropped 14K on Friday - I guess the favourites romped in at Cheltenham?

[Sherlock]

How many times worse are conversions under the new scheme?

Friday was the best day by far for the bookies at Cheltenham, perhaps someone got lucky with some of the less fancied nags

For me? Conversions at about 1/10th of previous.
Not surprising as you cannot write anything useful.

[RacingJim]

I had a good opening day at Cheltenham, then day 2 and 3 wiped out day 1, then had a good final day ended up 10k up for the festival.
As a month so far it's sucked balls to be honest. As did Feb. Maybe just my bettors having a good time.

Conversions i.e. signups to clicks are 'ok' for me. Traffic volume is down of course and it's hard to flourish in an environment where content is dictated to you.

Forget the revenue, all my players suddenly stopped placing bets the day my 365 account was closed to new sign ups.....

Doesn't sound good, what size of user base have you got?

[Sherlock]

The last days after I replied here are really good, I think it started with the **** for UK in CL. March is looking above average again.

But I was not paid still in March.

[iso2009]

I am still allowed to send customers, however, the signup ratio has gone to ****.
As for the revenue, my accounts are showing a "slow" decrease since March 2017 (YTY -70% revenue), due to some big winnings at the wrong time (towards the end of the month, everytime).

[TheGooner]

Then had a good final day ended up 10k up for the festival.

Agreed that Saturday turned everything positive. A real up-down-and finally up swing this year.

[Sherlock]

Everyone was paid for Feb in March already? Still waiting.

It was Friday mate. The Chelt festival was Tue 13th - Fri 16th. Unless you mean you logged in on Saturday and saw the results?

Yep got mine 15 March in UK.
