[vinism]

In the April issue of the GPWA Times magazine, we ask you to complete the sentence "You know you're a gambling affiliate if..." We included some examples in the magazine, and invited you to post your best efforts here. We'll print the most creative entries in the next issue of the GPWA Times magazine.

ok, Right off the top of my head..

"You know you're a gambling affiliate if..."

(1) .... you know that 'link juice' isn't an exotic tropical punch.
(2) .... the same people keep asking you what you do for a living!
(3) .... you know that the keyword phrases 'online casino' and 'casino online' are worlds apart.
(4) .... you stay up late the last day of the month just to see how your stats were for the month prior.
(5) .... you know that 'CAP' isn't really a hat at all!



maybe I'll come up with some better ones... lol

[matted]

Well, there is the obvious...

... If you are a GPWA member

And I like these too...

... If casinos pay you every month
... If you curse about just missing FedEx
... If you load and play every slot machine at every casino
... If you spend your nights trying to figure out who this check is from

What fun!

Seeing the "buy one get one free" special for Ben&Jerry's Cherry Garcia Ice Cream, you ask the grocer for the terms and conditions.

You forgot to mention the eat-through requirements... must pass through your system at least 2x... and using a spoon only counts 1/2 towards ETR...

...If you understand that not all online casinos are rogue
...If you like gambling but don't gamble for real
...If you understand how it's important to read Terms and Conditions
...If you know thousands of online casinos, their jurisdictions, software, and moreover their playthrough requirements

Im still a bit tired from CAC, but here is my attempt:

.... you ring to book a table in a resteraunt and ask will they do you a hybrid deal.
.... your researching domain names and a really good one has been registered, you check who owns it and realise you bought it two years ago.
.... you see potential customers everywhere

[Doolally]

... you tell your loved ones your off to a business convention and pack your party clothes.
... you decide it's easier to tell friends you work in online sales.
... it's 1am and you're just getting started.
... your kids want to play games for a living too when they grow up!
... the neighbours think you're either lazy or won the lottery because you don't go out to work.

[chalkoutline]

Some great ones there folks!

... you can legitimately say that you have been working after having spent the day chatting with friends here on the forums.

... you break out in a cold sweat when outside of wifi range!

... you repeatedly have to explain what cookies are

... you have to clarify that you don't run your own online casino when friends and family ask

[Renee]

.. when you tell people what you do for a living they blink twice at you and look at you as if you've just spoken in another language.
They then either don't ask what that is because they don't want to seem stupid, or go 'Huh, whats that?' to which you explain, and they think you actually deal cards to people on the internet...

... when you're talking to someone about anything random you ask if they have a website and if so, see if it has an affiliate program.. if not, you offer to make them a site with the design fee being a % commission.

And the #1 reason you know you are a gambling affiliate is...
