Exactly, I knew the type of business I was sending last month was going to make a loss due to the majority signing up for the £10 no deposit bonus, but took the long term view that hopefully, in the future some or most of these would convert to real players that I would make 25% from. Although I only sent 11 depositing players (not 12 as I thought), I did get 52 registrations. If, over the next year or two, 30 of these turn out to be active, and lose £10 a week each, thats £300 a month for me down the line. One girl won £2500 from her free tenner, she has been back and is a regular player now, but I was taking the long term view with them. I didn't take a long term view that in a couple of years I might get £60 a month rather than £300.
Under the new T&C's I might as well go through affiliate future and just get £60 for everyone who deposits & spends £20, looking at my stats, I would have made over £500 last month doing this, which, I would suggest, is more than I will make from these customers with a 5% commission, and then I don't care what type of customers I send as i get paid regardless.
I am fairly sure it isn't legal. I can't see how its not a breach of contract, or, if it is allowed, wouldn't be an unfair contract term.
Agreed
I'm not sure the reporting is entirely accurate either.
Quick stats show for me year to date 73 registrations, and 16 depositing accounts. However when I go to account reports and check the same time frame, it only shows 37 accounts, of which 3 were registered from before this year, so where are the other 39 customers? Do others show the same mismatch of information or is it just me? Maybe Matt could comment on this, I have actually sent a message through affiliate hub regarding this, but from past experience, I'm not expecting a reply for a few weeks so might be quicker on here!
