How has UIGEA and payment processor turmoil affected February affiliate revenue?

[MichaelCorfman]

I'm continuing the monthly tradition of polling members to see how they are doing in February as compared with last September before the current turmoil in the industry began with the passage of the UIGEA.

February is the first full month that reflects the impact of the withdrawal of Neteller from the US marketplace, and my prediction is that this month's poll will show members operating in the US market hit harder than in previous months.

In answering this month's poll, I would answer in terms of revenue you have earned rather than revenue actually received. I know money you have not been able to receive does not pay the bills, but it is still money that is yours, at least in theory.

Previous monthly polls are listed below:

I again tell them it was one more good month for me. My earnings are less than in January but more than in September. I only must say that I had no so many players in September than now. May be it depends on my promotion strategy but I have one more good month. Of course, if US players are accepted by all casinos I'll have more earnings but I'm satisfied.

Superbowl betting at VIP and existing players at Best Casino Partner buoyed my earnings. But neither program has paid me for January yet - nevermind February. New signups were worse than bad last month. I firmly believe new signups is a better indication of market conditions.
