RyanAnother Record Breaking Month Yet Again at Rewards Affiliates
You guys have done it yet again! You’ve gone and broken the record for the biggest month ever… AGAIN! The success of the program continues to grow with each month becoming even bigger than the last. Affiliates have been working extra hard and it looks like the hard work is paying off in a big way. Congratulations once again for a record breaking month, and cheers to breaking more record months in the future!
New Search Creatives Function now has Pre-Set Searches
As you all know, we are continually updating our members area to make it easier for affiliates to obtain the marketing tools and information they need. That’s why we have taken the new Search Creatives function to the next level… We have added Pre-Set Searches. This means you no longer have to retype keywords that may not retrieve the results you’re looking for. Instead, click the drop down menu and choose from one of the Pre-set Searches that we provide for your convenience. These searches will be regularly updated as new games become available, new promotional banners become available, and seasonal banners come into play.
This function proves to be an asset to the banner farm and I am sure that all affiliates will love to use it.
For the specifics:
If you make a selection from the ‘Pre-Set Searches’ drop down menu, it will override any other options you submit (like keyword and casino).
However, once you select a preset search … then submit … it will automatically fill in the keywords and the casino and show you the results… Now if you want to further refine the search just leave the preset downdown box alone and use the normal form input fields to modify the search.
and finally, if you don’t want to use the pre-set search box … just leave it on the default “Enter your keyword OR select one of thes…” … and it will ignore that field
Your First Hour is on the House Promotion – HUGE SUCCESS AGAIN!
Just like the original Free Spins promotion at Casino Classic, the success of the ‘Your First Hour is on the House’ promotion at Captain Cooks Casino has been tremendous!
We’re heading for another record breaking month and the promotion has just made the record even higher for us to beat next month!
The main rule for this competition (that I previously mistook) is that if the player had participated in the Casino Classic free spins promotions, they must make a deposit at one of our casinos before playing Captain Cooks free spins to be eligible to participate.
Terms and conditions can be found at: http://captaincookscasino.com/freehour-terms.asp
Your linking code will look like this:

Replace affXXXXX with your affiliate id.
A few banners are available here now, with more being available throughout the week.
GOOD LUCK
New Bonus Structure for Players
Most of you already know that we have commenced a new bonus system for the players. All the information we have can be found just below in the email that we have sent out to all players. If you have any questions, feel free to email Ryan or myself.
Hi #FirstName#,
I’ve got some good news for you – there has been a big change at the casino which will mean that it is now a lot easier for you to control your money.
You’re going to love this new system! From now on wagering requirements will only apply to your bonus money and you will be able to withdraw your own money at any time.
Before I go into any further detail about this new system, I want to reassure you that this will be a totally smooth transition for you and will require no effort on your behalf. The only time you will even notice a difference is when you go to withdraw.
Although your cash will appear as before, it will now be held in two separate accounts in the following way:
CASH ACCOUNT + BONUS ACCOUNT = TOTAL BALANCE
Don’t worry – it’s not as complicated as it might seem! Your CASH ACCOUNT will hold all the money you deposit at the casino, your BONUS ACCOUNT will hold all the money we give you for free!
HOW ?
Ok – here are the nuts and bolts:
All free bonus money given to you will be paid into your BONUS ACCOUNT. Ie:
Purchase $200 and receive $50 FREE:
$200 into your + $50 into your = $250
CASH ACCOUNT BONUS ACCOUNT TOTAL BALANCEWhen you start playing at the casino, the money you use to place bets will come out of your CASH ACCOUNT. You can still withdraw any amount from this account at any time.*
You can wager your total balance at any time.
As you meet wagering requirements, the money from your BONUS ACCOUNT will move to your CASH ACCOUNT in increments of $10.
Once you have met all wagering requirements on your BONUS ACCOUNT all your money will sit in your CASH ACCOUNT for you to play with or withdraw as you please.
When you view your credits in the bottom left corner of the casino software, this will reflect your TOTAL BALANCE. (CASH ACCOUNT + BONUS ACCOUNT).
*Please note that should you decide to withdraw any money from your CASH ACCOUNT before meeting wagering requirements on your BONUS ACCOUNT, you will lose any and all credits in your BONUS ACCOUNT which will then be set to $0. We suggest you meet wagering requirements before withdrawing your money.
A more detailed account of the new system can be found on terms and conditions. Also go to the FAQ’s for more information.

MoneyBookers is now available in your profile! To change your option to MoneyBookers please log into the affiliate site, click Profile > Bank Details, where you will be able to select MoneyBookers from a drop down menu.

New Affiliate System a Huge Success
While many affiliates have already taken the plunge into the new stats/commission model, there are still a few of you who haven’t decided. Those who HAVE changed over have loved every minute of it and we have had some unbelievable feedback from these affiliates.
“This is absolutely, definitely the best stats system I have ever seen.
“I got into poking around and I have learned a ton about my players. I also learned a ton about Casino Reward’s performance, like retention. The most transparent stats out there, and updating while you look.
“These stats wll help me do a much better job, it lets me drill down on just about every aspect there is.
“Great job, Ryan. And I apreciate the 45% bonus!” (Link Reference)
You guys are lovin’ it! For those people still wishing to change over, you still can! Just email us and let us know you wish to change over. We want to monitor the server load for the rest of the month so for those affiliates who email us from now we will be moving you over on April 1, and will still be giving you the 45% for the whole of April, for all players, not just the new ones.
Screen shots have been put out so that everyone can see the fantastic new system. They can be found at http://www.rewardsaffiliates.com/main/wagering-intro.asp
We will be moving everyone over to this option on April 1, unless they have explicitly opt-ed out. To opt-out please email Ryan or Renee with the subject “Opt-Out of Wager Model Changeover” by March 29. Once we have changed people over this will be permanent with no option to change back. This will occur for affiliates on RevShare only.font>
Purchasing Methods That Work – Promotion
When your players switch to E-check, NETELLER or Click2Pay we will give them a 50% bonus up to a maximum of $250 on their first deposit before April 30, 2006.
Why E-check, NETELLER or Click2Pay? – They are fast, easy and by far the most cost effective banking solutions for your players! By using these methods of payment, we can ensure your players will be able to deposit with ease everytime.
Direct your players to open their E-check, NETELLER or Click2Pay account simply and quickly through the banking section of the casino software.

I see you are posting this on 4/3. Well I definitely want to opt out.
The newsletter about opting out of the new model was sent out March 24th, 2006.
I would think that something as important as this would deserve a bit more than a small mention 3/4s of the way through one of these type emails.

This will occur for affiliates on RevShare only.Now I’m really starting to get annoyed. The CR newsletters are packed with information, which is great, but normally I skim the newsletters to get through them a bit faster (no offense to Ryan and/or Renee, who probably spend a lot of time putting each letter together). Unfortunately, I didn’t see that paragraph on March 24 (a mere 1 week before the switcheroo occured).Please switch me back. Thanks.
That explains why I missed the change. I also would like to be switched back but Casino Rewards already refused. It doesn’t matter if you have promoted them for years already. They obviously don’t respect their affiliates. They give me no choice then to remove them from my sites. Thanks CR!
Hi all,
Keep it to a dull roar until I get to post more info … I’m working on a solution for you guys.
