what is this?

[GFPC]

Just lol!

[DaftDog]

I actually had to ask myself if you were trying to make a joke here?

There is a 50 page thread about this somewhere if you would like to read it - I'm pretty sure you posted in that thread. I feel like I'm being made fun of now so I'm not even going to bother posting about this.

Renee I am seriously asking you a question. I am most certainly not trying to make fun of you. If you can point me to the answer as I tried looking through that 50 page post but don't seem to find it.

All I'm asking for is a simple answer, no joking around.

[Renee]

The entire thread is about the logos in the newsletter.

[DaftDog]

So the answer is Yes. You are still cross promoting affiliate referred players?

[Renee]

Please let me know if I'm still flogging a dead horse. I just recently signed up to a Casino Rewards casino via another affiliates aff tag. I have not made a deposit. Yesterday I received two marketing emails from Casino Rewards. The first email did not have any outgoing links to other CR casinos.

The second email is where I need some clarification as it had all the CR casinos listed with out going links to each casino. Are these links tagged to the original affiliate?

That wasn't your question and yes you were trying to stir me.

Stir someone else.

[DaftDog]

Renee I promise you on my mothers life I am not trying to stir or make fun of you. All I want is a simple answer. If that is too much for me to ask of you then please forgive me.

Why are you avoiding a simple answer? Yes or no, are these links tagged to the original affiliate?

Jeez, sorry if I'm treading on sensitive toes.

BTW you posted right before that was made so you would have received an email notification of the post.
I'm done here now..

I have listed the changes that have been made, and the other thread is there for you to read about everything else.

Cheers

Rewards Affiliates have made some changes recently which I'm sure affiliates are thankful for. However the links in the casino images at the bottom of the Newsletters that are sent to players can still take away the referring affiliates players to their other casinos and not be tagged to the referring affiliate.

The question I asked was: Are these links tagged to the original affiliate?
The answer is: No.

[Redbush54]

Ixian I appreciated that you posted the email with the logos. I then knew what you were talking about. I find it very sad that a sponsor program doesn't have to be accountable and answer questions. I also read the "other" thread and couldn't find the answer.

It's unacceptable that affiliates can be accused of stirring things up while trying to protect what is rightfully theirs. And no I'm NOT TRYING TO STIR, I'm just stating facts but I'm sure I'll be accused of that.

[Renee]

The 4th post in that other thread outlines it.

You guys are either skipping over some posts or just not reading. It took me 3 seconds to find it.

[Renee]

I find it very sad that a sponsor program doesn't have to be accountable and answer questions.

WTF?! That's not even true!

I find it sad that you guys think it's funny to gang up over and over again on an affiliate manager who is doing their best to get YOUR requests approved while taking crap from you guys continuously and undeservingly. Just say the word and I won't fight for you anymore. If you guys want to ruin it for everyone then go ahead. I will wipe my hands of these issues completely and indefinitely and you will only have yourselves to thank.

Go through the other thread and count how many times I posted with COMPLETE answers to the questions being asked and COMPLETE explanations of why things were done, only to have people posting saying "make it simpler, we don't understand"... And I'm still posting here aren't I?
And you guys wonder why other affiliate managers don't show their faces.

Renee we are not ganging up against you. Please stop trying to make this thread about us abusing you which is clearly not the case. You seem to be trying divert attention away from questions being asked. If you just would answer simple questions with straight forward answers for us idiotic, moan and groan, bitching affiliates then I'm sure you would not be under such stress.

First IMO Renee is right, the issue about emails has been discussed several times already, we all know already what tracks and what does not (things to proof : it is all there in big thread : all 22 casinos etc.. ), I and Renee have added and discussed ALL scenarios about that in the thread she is referring to.

I will wipe my hands of these issues completely and indefinitely and you will only have yourselves to thank

What do you mean with that? I hope we are on a constructive path to a reasonable solution for the links to casinorewards.com site.

Next to that we have asked about adding the last referrer affiliate btag in emails.

This takes time and effort from you Renee sending a request to your manager(s) and updating us asap if any developments arise with a good or disappointing outcome, we want to know.

Bottom line is we all want to know how to proceed with Rewardsaffiliates to make important choices, I think everyone is entitled to that.

Cant we just close this thread? I mean its already being hashed on another one. No point of this as far as "reposts" and so forth. I think Renee cant quite give a st8 answered atm. I do think shes trying to do what's best for everyone tbh. Some of us may not like the outcome but I have found through all the years, that there is no point yelling at the messenger.. lol. I think Renee might have even had me get upset with CR and focus that frustration on her but its not the answerer. Trust me!

It took me awhile to and you might get mad sometimes. However its important to keep a level head. I know I will be impulsive sometimes and get pissed only to later laugh at my dumbass self... however you need to let the people who are going up to bat for you do the footwork first. Its not like shes going to twist arms so much CR will simply change everything at once or course a loss of her job. Would you force that on someone in the "real" world?

Also, bottom line.. and I know you could be tired of hearing it but if you dont like a affiliate group or casino, dont work with them! I have not given much traffic to CR for a LOOOONG time. However, this is going to change as they are one of the lasts that seem to give a ****. I will swallow my pride and work hard to make that relationship work. Its what the folks focused on "real" business do.
Not meant to insult but more of a wise quote or lecture from my over 10 years doing this if you will.

Just keepin it real

You are obviously promoting some other "casinos" and you are not affected by this so why bother giving your lecture to us?


I have been promoting rewardsaffiliates for some years now - not knowing about this issue - until I found out, and it DOES affect my earnings.

Just keepin it real

Diceman I keep it real because it is a serious issue.

We have been making "some progress" with Rewards and posters here who care (and thanks to those who have chosen not to help but only lurk how far things have developped) will not give up before we have an acceptable solution - no matter what you advise us - as we do not swallow our pride and give others the benefits of our hard work for free.

[GamTrak]

Well said GCG, why is it that we have to shut up and get screwed without saying anything?

The way I see it, if you don't want to read it then don't!

This is a serious issue and it's not just all about Renee! It's about way more than that and folks are upset about it and it's NOT gonna end.

[Dominique]

Darnit, earlier in the thread Renee outlined changes they were making.

PLEASE PLEASE allow some time for this to happen and stop antagonizing things in mid process!!!

I hate taking up a cause and then it spins out of control because no one is willing to allow some breathing room.

We are making progress, some things are in the process of being changed, please read the entire thread.

I don't want CR to shrug it's shoulders and walk away from the negotiating table because they figure they will just be attacked no matter what.

Diplomacy PLEASE, I want to see this changed!!!!

[Puma]

I love the work Renee puts into this industry. I also love the fact that she is here daily answering questions about our concerns. We should make it very clear to Renee that this is not about her but about the Rewards program and its cross promotion policy.

I for one say this now. I appreciate the work you do for us Renee. I appreciate the personal help you have given me.

From now on guys and girls lets not make a thread that appears as a personal attack on Renee. Many programs at GPWA don't even give us the time of day and they do the same **** that Rewards is doing. At least she attempts to fix things.

I guess affiliate manager of the year so many times has made you an easy target eh Renee lol !!

[Redbush54]

Deleted what I was going to say.....not worth it anymore.
