    Hi all,

    It's the same old story that one affiliate may do well with X brand whilst another does jack all.

    For me Rival don't convert well at all.
    Any players I do get are small. they stay around grab a couple of bonuses and then go elsewhere.

    The again I've never had much success with Brightshare either.
    Whereas some affiliates swear by them as their best performers.

    We all know (or should) that conversions are dictated by players & that generally also means geo locations too.
    If your operating a US facing portal then it would makes sense to promote casinos that accept US players. Rival being one of these.

    Although my sites are not US facing, I do have Slotcash, added just for some variety. But reiterating for me it coverts very poorly.


    Cheers



    Dave

    As a player thats signed up to probably 99% of rivals and i find it suprising that i never ever receive any promo emails from them. Some rivals only ever sent the signup email detailing my account details and nothing else.

    At MG casino's i probably get some sort of email once a week/fortnight naming what promo's are running or deposit specials are available and it feels like different Mg casino's are competing for my business,

    But with Rival i get the impression that they couldnt care if i deposit or not,
    If i didnt open the folder i have with the rival casino's in i would have forgotten i had signed up with them in the first place
    I gave up gambling,
    Now all i ever do is make mind bets,
    You never bet any real money you only bet in your mind.
    The results are fairly good, ive only lost my mind 5 times so far this month

    EDIT To ADD: Fortune Reel is also doing a good job of making fast payouts to players, usually within 24 hours. And also once you have made one, the next one's get paid within a few hours.

    Looks like I may be eating a little crow regarding my recommendation about Dendera there above...Too bad to, they started off really good but I have noticed of late that a hell of a lot of my players have been getting suspended or bonus banned there lately.

    You think anyone at Rival will start to see this common denominator that has been developing for quite some time now?

    That's very odd... ... unless you are bonus banned at all of them?
    I get masses of e-mails from loads of Rivals - some send them virtually every day!
    Here's a few examples:-
    Box 24 - every 3-4 days.
    Royal Apollo - every 3-4 days.
    Ruby Royal - every 2-3 days.
    Tradition - every 2-3 days.
    Tropica - just about daily.
    Vanguard - every 3-4 days.
    Vegas Regal - every 2-3 days.
    Vegas Sky - just about daily.

    I hardly ever read any though!

    Ive been checking my accounts at most rivals over the last few months and it looks like i could be bonus banned at a fair few,it happened after my last cashout from VR, not bonus banned there though all it says at the others is no promotions avilable.
    on checking your list i think ive only received a couple from VR and thats it.
    i get more affiliate emails than promo emails
    but to tell the truth im not really that bothered about it,

    I just demanded 400(only 2 of the casinos Cocoa and Paradise8) not to long ago to go through all my players by hand and see why they are banned and it was determined that the built in Rival bonus banning system is severely flawed! They were able to reopen hundreds and I mean hundreds of my players accounts since they looked into each one!

    Crow is not so bad now and then to eat I have chowed on that myself several times and am sure to have a meal of it in the future

    Severely flawed! sounds about right i bet you have never had to do that with the likes of Playtech or MG,
    Just went through my list and i have "No Promotions" in 18 out of 29 rivals 6 of those i have never even made a deposit. nor am i likely to now, so the system they have has cost these casino's money.
    i could contact the reps here to look into but i just cant be arsed, ill just keep depositing at the ones that deserve it
    I gave up gambling,
    Now all i ever do is make mind bets,
