conversions during Covid

[casinotime]

Anyone notice fewer signups convert to real players? I use mainly 1 program and have been doing great... about 1 depositor per 9 signups. Now i am at almost a 100 and 0 depositors.

I reach out to the program and ask if they are having payment processing issues or something? They say no, but obviously they would not say even if they had.

I target US so the reason i suspect payment processing.

-- > So, do you guys see a drop?
---> What is your best program for US player targetting?

Thanks

If you were getting 1 depositor for every 9 sign-ups on a consistent basis and now you are getting 100 sign-ups
and zero depositors, then it could be payment processing or it could even be a change in their casino promotions.
If they recently began offering a free bonus, then that would definitely lower the sign-up to depositor ratio.

No deposit bonus offers are an NDP killer.

If the player has a cr#p experience (slots are cold), it's highly unlikely they'll risk their own funds. Though generally, those seeking No Deposit offers, usually don't deposit - they're freebie whores.

I recall a new Microgaming casino opening in circa 2001, by the name of GoodFellows. They thought it was a great idea to give a US$50 no deposit bonus. Of course every bonus-whore from here to the black stump jumped on that freebie. With no withdrawal cap, and maybe a 10x wagering (common wagering figure back then, sometimes even less), they were doomed from the get go.

In a very short period of time, they were up $hit creek.
Microgaming terminated their operator license sometime in June 2002.

As it always happened back then, Microgaming stepped in, and with the aid of PwC (Price Waterhouse Coopers - South Africa), everyone owed winnings, were paid out.

NB - those were the days... if you were an affiliate back then, it was a license to practically print your own money.

For me Revenue Network and Legend converting the best.

If your one program is RN - see that they changed promotions recently on some of their brands.

And yes, if processing issues then almost no one will tell you. I do wish to mark an exception - in the past when Extreme had issues Mikey was straightforward and said that when i asked. Highly appreciated! I wish all AM's would follow.

For me if someone cares to notify me of some temporary issues is a sign of true partnership. He actually cares about my side of the story and my business and I always bring them back up when the issue solved. (and on the other hand if it's not - eventually I just take them down and that's pretty much it).

Thanks guys! What about mainstreet? I was thinking to try them. Anyone having good conversions the past few months?

Refering to legend affiliates? Which of the casinos do you feel best converts? Tried in the past but player value was low and almost non continue past a month

 

[Kadabra]

Yes, meant Legend aff. Casino Max and Spinfinity do well for me in terms of conversions. Casino Max has solid player value. Spinfinity low so far but it's been live for only a month or so, so very early to judge.

I understand folks want to find a casino(s) that perform well. We don't want to waste space, promoting venues, that don't convert. However, let me throw in some free advice.

Affiliate-A might do really well with Casino-Z, on their site.

BUT... Affiliate-B might not be able to get much, if any traction at Casino-Z, on their site.

The best solution to find which casino works for YOUR site(s) is to run A/B testing.

Otherwise what you'll likely be doing is playing the guessing/hope game.

Agree, it really depends a LOT on the traffic sources and the type of traffic in general. In the past months things haven't been bad, but in August there was a decrease. Best is to test, trial and error. Mainstreet is great in general though, recommend!
