Food for thought - Busterstacks

i know an affiliate who was giving people more money than he was taking in, or at least 100% of the money he was taking in, in order to build up his business so he could get to higher tiers of affiliate revenue. unfortunately for him, the month he was finally going to meet the requirements to be profitable was also the month the skins broke up. he gave all the money to his affiliates, but never turned a profit. so i guess i have a problem with M(in) > M(out). it should be more like M(in)>=M(out).

Good observation. I know some affiliates do this but it hadn't occurred to me that they could have been caught out in this fashion by the breakup.

It has no application to Buster. He was established and had a long roster of clients at Empire.

I don't see lying can be a bannable offense in a poker forum.

[Mike Haven]

I don't know if this applies in this case, and I don't have any interest in Buster, (I'm one of the mugs who joined direct to the sites years ago, so I don't receive any rakeback via any affiliate at any site), but most businesses have some not necessarily immediately stoppable outgoings, and it is entirely possible for a business as a whole to end up in the red when one big customer is lost.

I accept that Empire income must have been equal to or more than relevant rakeback out, but I can also see that it would be normal to state that someone ended up losing money if they had to pay, say, some webmasters for advertising, or wages for administration staff, in the particular time period under scrutiny.

fwiw, as i said in the rb forum, i dont think buster should be banned by 2p2.

peace

I'm very curious as to what nickle's reasons are, but I agree with him in the end. He shouldn't be banned from 2+2 simply cuz he can make another account and forcing him to hide may do more harm than good.

[MicroBob]

He detailed his thoughts about this over in the aff/rb forum. And I thought he made a very well-reasoned argument.

[MrWookie]

Yeah, his response was first class. Nice one, PJN.

[MrWookie]

Well, now wait a minute. BusterStacks was banned after all. What changed?

[Mat Sklansky]

Some time ago I banned him by reason of popular demand. I don't care one way or another, but he said he would never use that account again, so I don't see the use in unlocking it.

So busterstacks=full rake?
