On the last day of January 2010, the same thing happened again. Player won and cashed out at the end of the month. Again, I questioned the decrease in my monthly commission.
This time the reduction was a little over $1,100. On the last day of December 2009 I experienced another drop in the commissions due to me from 400 Affiliates. As I had a large player at Paradise 8, I asked Jax about the reduction of the amount due me in commissions and was told that the player in question had hit a jackpot and cashed out. I noticed how on the very last day of November 2009, the commissions due to me from 400 Affiliates dropped by about $1,300. I run a tape every morning of what each affiliate program owes me. So, please forgive me if, despite my best efforts, this turns into a rant.
This is an issue that has been building for about three months for me. I feel we owe it to them to make this public knowledge and discuss in a place where all can participate. Current and potential affiliates of 400 could be negatively impacted by this. It is my opinion needs to be kept public as their policy of deducting contributions from to progressive jackpot pools from affiliate commissions is not listed on their website. I posted this last night and it was immediately moved to the private 400 Affiliates forum.
