Gambling Affiliates and Challenges They Face

Gambling Affiliates and Challenges They Face But the smaller and medium sized casino portals are always at risk of being cheated. I know this to be true because I've caught many programs trying to cheat, or as they put it: that have "tracking issues". While we're not 100% at the mercy of the casinos, they definitely have the upper hand. All we as affiliates can do is to rely on the kindness of a few of our players, that keep us informed as to where they play and how much, and from that, along with what we call "testers" (people we give money to gamble in exchange for information): we are able to somewhat keep the casinos honest. If one is found to not be reporting income, the information is shared among all of us affiliates (or at least enough of us that the casinos would feel the impact when we all pulled their links), so it somewhat keeps them honest. There is a theory amongst us that I happen to agree with completely, and that is that the casinos do what we have termed as "selective shaving". This is a practice where only certain affiliates are shaved, or I should say for most cases, are not shaved, and I would guess the thinking behind this is that if there are a few of my peers that say they do well with a program, that it is enough word of mouth to be sufficient to serve their purpose. Personally I think it is the stupidest way to choose to cheat but then the cheaters often prove to be very lazy, not hardly bothering to even hide the fact they are cheating us.
