It's the bonuses, promotions, loyalty schemes and quick payouts, which make the difference. <br />
<br />
This site isn't good in any of those areas.<br />
Plus it's on the laggy, disconnecting EveryMatrix platform.<br />
<br />
If you're only paying for cash, there are plenty of much much better sites to join. What makes this site stand out from the rest? <br />
<br />
People who play with bonuses, don't 'scrimp around for a few quid'. There's no need to be condescending, just because you no longer play with a bonus.<br />
Your affiliate site uses bonuses to attract new customers to casinos. So it seems a bit hypocritical to have that attitude, where bonuses are concerned.

I DO sometimes use bonuses when testing a new site out, but not when I normally play for my own fun. Trada give me bonuses but it's a cash feed-in so doesn't have a WR. I have been both a bonus player and not, so have experienced extended periods of both types of play, and definitely prefer bonus-free. Naturally I promote bonus offers because the way marketing is carried out everybody expects them, it's historical going back to when online gambling began. But you cannot escape the fact that by design they are EV- invariably and intended to greatly reduce the chances of you cashing-out and increase the likelihood of the casino retaining your deposit. Never lose sight of that fact. You can dress it up as 'extending the fun/playtime' but that is not the intent, more a side-effect. <br />

It's like everybody expects a supermarket loyalty card without realizing that if they shopped around they'd save far more than they'd ever earn in LP's. It's the way the industry has conditioned everybody!</div>
