Engineer wrote:Hi Yashin,Quick question about cross-marketing at ReferSpot.
Say I refer someone to Lake Palace. Player spends $1,000, I take home $250.
Then, say ReferSpot cross-markets to that player (via email, for example) and invites him to play at Bella Vegas. Player spends $1,000….
Do I take home $250, or do I take home $0?
Yashin wrote:Hi Dave,The short answer to your question is “$0”.
This is based on the current system that we and all the other MGS operators have.I am completely stunned. :notify:
This information, combined with his earlier comment —
once a player registers at any one brand in a group – there’s nothing to stop that group from cross-marketing to that player anyway. This is pretty much de rigueur for our industry
— really surprises me. Basically, he is saying that it is “normal” for them to entice our referrals to play at the other casinos in their group — and then not pay us for the wagering that happens there?
Does this make any sense? I always assumed that we DID get credit in situations like this. It only seems fair. I mean, if we hadn’t referred the player to the first casino in the first place, the group wouldn’t have anyone to cross-market to!!!
So… apparently ReferSpot poaches our referrals. Nice. I have a hard time accepting that all of the other MGS programs do this is well. Does anyone know if this is true? I don’t have enough experience or knowledge to know one way or the other.
This is NOT standard. I have a feeling Yashin answered without researching what Referpot does, much less other Microgaming Groups. We will definately look into this one on the odd chance that IS what Referspot is doing.
Thank you Professor. :blush:
Thanks Prof.
I know BrightShare cross-markets and keeps my players. I have not looked into all the others, but the APCW did some tests on those buddy systems and, as I recall, not too favorable.
I hope Yashin is just ignorant, but referspot regularly yields me a lot less comission than other micros, so I must wonder.
