CPA vs MGR

[Stiankr]

Ok, so im a newbie promoting casinos but my initial thought is to go for only MGR. Just looking for that whale that will secure my retirement What do you guys think? Should a casino affiliate put in cpa`s in the mix or is mgr the only route to go?

I think MGR is better; the whale-potential seems too big to go for the straight-up CPA. However when I can get a CPA with a slightly smaller MGR, I do prefer the compromise.

I would definately think MGR because of obvious reasons, but I think one should be careful and choose rooms with no negative carryover.

I just had a VC player who took the $10 free no deposit and hit big, I don't earn much on that promotion so I was going to shut the account down but then I noticed no negative carry over which made me happy (maybe he'll lose it in March!).

The key point about MGR in my (inexperienced) eyes is retention - and whether you are dealing with a casino that cross promotes other skins to or NOT to your benefit.

I keep coming back to this - shouldn't we be promoting poker rooms with casinos basically for the very reason of retention?

I think at smaller rooms it's a great idea to negotiate a poker CPA with MGR on Casino/Sportsbook activity.

I got rich doing CPA. I tend to be a contrarian, so when everyone is extremely vehement about doing MGR, that's usually a good clue to me to go the other way and do CPA.

So here is my question Randy. I know we discussed CPA/MGR the other day and obv the benefit of knowing what your going to make each month , BUT when companies like Cplanet dont bundle earnings wouldnt this be a reason where mgr would be the better choice.

Obv that would mean you need to earn on at least two of the four properties to keep your income on the upside but I would think its better than the CPA deals.
