I can still see the "Daily Deal" promo, today is 25%.
My status is also saying " Dash Casino for life"....however, when i check the "Daily Deal" the deposit scale ends at 125 where previously it was 200 and the maximum i get now is 25 bonus chips, e.g. deposit, 100, get 25, deposit 50, get 25 or deposit 25, get 25. Whereas previously the max bonus amounts where 50, 50 and 200. So they clearly downgraded me from the top tier.
I never had the top tier at Dash, I didn't play enough there. If you still see it, then it looks like it's a change slipped in with the no flushing one last week. One where a number of players have been removed from the basic promotional tier on accounts they have with other skins in the group, retaining only the one skin that remains eligible for tier benefits and promotions.
The status also means it's impossible for me to progress to the top tier at Dash through play as it doesn't seem to exist.
Other players may also notice this change if they are playing more than one 32Red skin, as some who managed to reach the top tier on more than one have already noticed that they are now being restricted to the top tier on only one skin.
It's odd given that the business announced increased profits BEFORE the implementation of these changes, so it's not as though they NEEDED to make cost cutting measures. It's definitely a case of putting players second from now on, with even the increased profits they already have not being enough if there is a way to squeeze out some more by cutting something else. This is how the rest operate, so 32Red is no longer "something special". From now on, changes will be made to increase profits, rather than to improve the customer experience. There will only be an improvement to the player experience if the bean counters feel it will lead to increased profits. Many companies end up improving the customer experience when they have cut so much that it ends up LOWERING profits by driving their customers away. Tesco has just woken up to this, having neglected it's core customer base for years in the pursuit of squeezing a little more out of them and their suppliers. The killer blow was Aldi and Lidl upping their game and becoming a "mainstream" shopping destination, rather than a discounter with the "cheap and nasty" image. The same thing could happen in the casino industry, with the browser based casinos once considered to be the Aldi of the online world due to all the problems that came with the much higher load they imposed on customers' internet connections, now showing that they have a product that can perform as well as any download client, and with better broadband becoming more widely available, some of the problems they had have become less noticeable.
Browser based casinos can now offer MORE games than a single supplier download client, and now tend to pay much faster than traditional download casinos, and also offer other products like betting, bingo, games, etc from the same website and player purse.
If software supplier tournaments become available on browser platforms, it could mean a player being able to access the tournaments from a range of networks all from the same account. Currently, to access the tournaments from different networks, several download clients need to be installed, and different purses have to be used.
