A Question about Affiliations

**kidice** · 22nd July 2011, 01:23 AM

Not 100% this is right place, but hope it's close enough.

What I'm wondering is if there is a way to determine who would be the affiliate connected with a casino I deposit at? I've played and downloaded so many, from a myriad of different sites, that it would be impossible to connect the two.
From my understanding, the first time you d/l from an affiliate, you are connected to them by that account for time eternal (regardless if you remove and then reinstall elsewhere), is this true?
Lastly, is there a way to disassociate oneself if my understanding on that is incorrect?

Thanks for any info, I just would like my associate cut to go to the places that are deserving, not self-serving. (i just added that last phrase 'cause it's sounds poetic)

You are correct.

Once you're tagged it is permanent.

Now that you know how it works, at least you can make better choices.

yeppers, i was afraid of that. but how about discovering who the affiliate may be? I'd like to make adjustments to my naive choices by not rewarding any butthead sites with my money. Is there a tag or ID of some kind accessable to the player?

Sometimes the casino will tell you, but they won't remove the tag.

Just put it down to experience.

I got an invitation to a new casino in one casino group that came from a spammer - I didn't realize at the time because they'd forged the from and reply-to mail so I thought it was coming from the actual casino. It wasn't until later when I received another mail that I realized that it was some scummy affiliate. I was a little choked about that and contacted the casino and told them that I certainly didn't want to be putting money into the pocket of a spammer and asked if my playing would do that. They checked and said that there wasn't an affiliate tag attached to my account, so I was ok....if I did have, I'm not sure what we would have done about it.

I suppose you could contact the casino, find out if you're tagged - tell them you don't want to support rogue or unethical affiliates and if they can't remove the aff tag, then maybe you could close that account and open a new one....? I don't really know, I'm just pondering.

But I'm pretty sure there's no way the casino would tell you which affiliate you signed up under, so unless it's a casino you KNOW you signed up through a shady place, you'd be throwing the good out with the bad - there really are good affiliates, I hear!

Of course there are good affiliates. I know quite a few that are as honest as the day is long. I have tried through the years to go through good peoples' sites, and if I can't find a good one on a casino, I make sure I join through the casino itself.
