    Question Have you received any gifts from affiliate programs this holiday season?

    Sometimes affiliate programs go the extra mile to let affiliates know they are appreciated. Particularly affiliates that perform well for them.

    It is not as common as it once was - we all know that money is tighter these days. But it does still happen.

    Let us know if you have received any gifts from the affiliate programs you work with. This is your chance to publicly thank them for gifts you have received and let your fellow affiliates know the programs you work with that still preserve this very thoughtful holiday tradition.

    Share your favorite stories from this year or years in the past. I know there are some good ones out there.

    So, the secret behind this week's poll of the week is that Casino City received the most amazing gift basket from bet365 a few days ago. I've never actually seen a gift basket before quite like the one we received. It is 15 inches deep and 38 inches from side to side.

    Thank you bet365. The staff at Casino City appreciate your thoughtfulness!

    We've also received a gift basket from Bet365 - packed locally - and stuffed full of interesting items - nibbly bits, chocolate and wine.

    That made the splitting easy as Elle (our gambling gal) claimed the chocolates, I've bagged the wine ... and we are munching on all the various nibbly bits

    I received a lovely bottle of Chamdon Moet in a beautiful box from Tim at Best Casino Partners.
    Thanks Tim, it will be proudly displayed in my bar as it looks too good to drink!!

    Probably won't get any either, I'm not playing in the "$10k league" that might be the qualification to be on their gift list

    I agree with you Michael, it's nice when programs go this extra mile to say thank you with a small gift or even a nice card.

    I expect to get at least 4 bags of rocks and really holding out hope for that lump of coal....

    Of course as cold as it has been up north the past few days I see my dreams of the coal diminishing daily.....

    I received a hamper from bet365 and a bottle of bubbly from Purple Lounge, which was a really nice gesture from both firms. I should also add this is the first year I sent out cards and was amazed at how grateful some programs were to receive them.
