question for HOMER and JEK

[GrannyMae]

hi

seems i created a little monster with the BJ whoring. it seems a shame that someone from the "family" is not profiting from this little fad.

question:

if people sign up for all of these casinos through bonuswhores.com , will they receive all of the bonuses the same as they would if they went directly to the website?

disclaimer. i don't make a dime off of www.bonuswhores.com (http://www.bonuswhores.com)
i may actually be one of the only ones NOT employed there. however, as i would for any friends on 2+2, i wanted to ask this. SUCH a shame if all these posters are going through the websites if they can use your links.

can you clarify please homer? the whoring will slow down once everone has hit all the places, so hurry up and answer.

Or better.. Can they kick back something if people sign up with their links?

Yes, am know am greedy like hell /images/graemlins/grin.gif /images/graemlins/grin.gif /images/graemlins/grin.gif /images/graemlins/grin.gif
But am only a small grinder trying to make a living.. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

Of course my website makes me biased on this issue, but I can't get over how many people intentionally disregard kickbacks. A kickback can account for 10-40% of your EV for a given casino, but in almost all of the cases where online bonus hunting is discussed, kickbacks are not mentioned.

[DogRockets]

Do the affiliates get any type of fee for these type players? If they do, who are the affilliates here so we can go through them?

[AAmaz0n]

Does an affiliate really make money if someone signs up and just plays for the bonus? When I sign folks up for poker sites, the bonus gets taken off their net and I don't see anything out of it if they don't keep playing. I've never looked into the casino side of it so I don't know how the affiliate programs work there, can someone explain?

Yep.

I doubt the casino whoring will slow down any time soon (at least I hope it doesn't). There are tons of profitable places to play. Obviously, everyone will want to hit up the Microgaming Viper casinos first, but after those there will still be many profitable opportunities.

Thanks for the plug, Granny. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Presently, no. It is possible that may change in the future, though I am not sure as jek will have the final say on those sort of things.

Granny.. When I think about this, It's Spam. Yes that is right! SPAM.
And why? Well because why do you post a question to Jek and Homer in the forum. Why don't you PM them instead?

I don't care if you don't make any money. It’s still Spam.

If I would make a post and give out an URL to a friends place, everybody would say that it is Spam.

So why are your post different?

[GrannyMae]

froggy,

i have all my casino accounts already. however, i went directly to the site. therefore, i have absolutely no clue whether the same sign up bonuses are available through www.bonuswhores.com (http://www.bonuswhores.com) than direct through the site. i had an absolute legitimite question and would have asked the same question if www.bonuswhores.com (http://www.bonuswhores.com) was YOUR site. the fact that i am no way associated, have never emailed homer in my life and have had few to zero communications with jek in weeks and weeks make them barely friends at that. this is a community froggy, and the day you have a site similar to www.bonuswhores.com (http://www.bonuswhores.com) , and you have a banner flying here, i will ask you the same question.

as far as your ridiculous definition of spam, look up the real definition before you accuse me of slinging it.

[MrFroggyX]

and the day you have a site similar to www.bonuswhores.com (http://www.bonuswhores.com) , and you have a banner flying here, i will ask you the same question.

I don't see a banner flying? Can you point it out for me?
And I am not a Casino affiliate. And I will never be one. (But am a poker affiliate for two sites.. I better tell that before I get flamed for not telling the truth.)

But my point is if everyone was going to post "adds" to his or her friends. It would be spam everywhere. That's the point am trying to make. And when you chose to promote bonuswhores instead off other sites that members off 2+2 have.. Then I could say it is Spam.

And still I wonder why you didn't PM Jek or Homer?

[Mike Haven]

i would imagine that the whores group does very well because of its closeness to twoplustwo, (in all sorts of ways)

therefore, i would imagine that if a whores "introduction" was about to be tossed off because they were accused by a site of whoring they would have a lot more chance of being paid in the end because of their introduction by the whores and the bad publicity that would ensue in twoplustwo

on the other hand, if you go direct to the site and get tossed off, you can always try to use the apparent fact that the whores group's intros don't get hassled for blatant whoring

six of one and half a dozen of the other

[GrannyMae]

froggy, i would have no clue that you have a site. the bonuswhores banner has flown here, and that is how i know of it. your entire point was that i was spamming, and i would not know you from jek from homer if you came to my door in 5 minutes from now. if you refuse to believe that i would not have asked any of the people i know here that have a site with casino banners, then i can't help you.

i know a TON of people with poker sites and none with casino links. if it offends you that i did not know you had a casino affiliate business, i am sorry. what is the name of your casino site?

see?? take some equal time. happy to see a link to your analysis site. you do know that bonuswhores.com is not just a casino banner farm, right? seems like there is not only casino links there, but alot of information that someone obviously worked hard on. that is why i "challenged" gabyyy to tell me how he had a better experience using a blind affiliate link than by going to bonuswhores.

please don't label me a spammer. it is not even close to spam, and makes you look like an alias of gabyyy's.

maybe it would be better to write bw.com instead of www. bw . com (or whatever) in future, if in any doubt, so at least we don't have click-through direct links?

[MrFroggyX]

I don't understand! I don't have a casino site. I told you so in my previous post! Didn’t you read it?

You seem to get really upset over this. Why? Is it because I accused you off spaming?
Don't you understand my point??? That if everyone was going to tell about its friend’s sites. Then it would be Spam all day over here in the zoo. I don't have anything against you!


seems like there is not only casino links there, but alot of information that someone obviously worked hard on.

Yes.. It's a great site! But still it's an affiliate site. It doesn’t care how good it is.

But I tell you my point again. If everyone and his mother were going to make posts where they promoted their friends affiliate sites. The zoo would end up like a garbage pile!

Yes. Good suggestion Mike! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

He was taking the piss.

I suppose it is different when people link to sites such as www.pokertracker.com (http://www.pokertracker.com) (for instance). They make money from people buying their software - ie they provide a service. For each link posted in this forum to their site, they might get a handful of signups. I think this is good because it keeps a useful service up and running.

Wheres the difference?

Say what you like about BW.com, but at the end of the day Jek and Homer provide an informative service and are not out to rip people off. I believe Granny is recommending the site because of this, in just the same way somebody would recommend Poker Tracker's site.

If you think it is spam, speak to Mat about it - or keep bumping the thread and achieving nothing. No brainer.

Its the same as recommending a poker book or other device that benefits the player. There is nothing wrong with one player pointing out this service that benefits other poker players. that is that person's opinion.

Because most people are familiar with that person gives validity to the recommendation. An alien dropping in here from Sweden might see this a spam, but they totally ignore the social dynamic that has built up over time.

[Spartacus]

Affiliates make money two ways, flat rate and and percentage. Some casinos pay a flat fee per signup while others offer a percentage of the signups losses.

Albeit sites like bonuswhores and OBG provide valuable information including charts and bonuses, but I will go for the kickback every time. Deuce to Seven (http://www.geocities.com/advantageplayeradvisor/index.htm) offers some siginifgant returns on casinos that are atop any whores list. Now this site does not have all the best casinos, nor would I recommend all of them there, but if you are gonna whore a particular casino anyway, take the kickback. Otherwise, use the link on the site that helps you the most.

Let it be known I am in no way affiliated with the above site other than being one of his first customers.
