Not sure if serious.


Sorry, but this promo already has insane value, best i've seen for a rake chase pretty much anywhere. If people are misinterpreting it to be giving even more value, it's their problem tbh.

Re: AUGUST PROMOTIONS

Of course I'm serious. Are you not understanding my post or something? Not sure what your issue is at all. And not sure why you said "if people are misinterpreting it to be giving more value" right after the post where I said "makes it look like it has less value.".

Yes, it has insane value. And the way it was worded on the newsletter thing from the affiliate did not convey that and made it seem like it was way less....as well as different than what it was.

It is lock's problem also if an affiliate is misrepresenting them and wording things incorrectly. If I were in the position of overseeing the affiliates at lock I would want them to be accurate in their promotion of my product. Therefore I would also thank somebody who brings to my company's attention something like this.

It is exactly the same as an affiliate offering $36 paid to each client every time the pot reaches $100. If they misinterpret the meaning of 36% rakeback that badly that is pretty similar to what this affiliate did with their inaccurate understanding of ronin. It is on lock to make sure the affiliates represent their site correctly and accurately. So mistakes like this, when known, should be welcomed and appreciated.

Thanks for pointing it out, can you let me know who the affiliate was (privately if that's better)? That way I can make sure someone from our affiliate team gets in touch with them and makes sure they properly understand it.

Thanks

As we mentioned earlier THEFUTURE will continue for August.

When that bonus ends we will definitely have regular reload bonuses, we dont believe on holding these back to increase demand we want to always encourage our players to deposit.

Re: AUGUST PROMOTIONS

Oh yeah definately agree there, dealing with Reload bonuses the way Merge did is just bad, people want to deposit and feel like they're getting value from doing so, but people also want to deposit right there and then when they want to play, not when the site decides they should or when the site decides to give more value this time around (with a reload code)

Re: AUGUST PROMOTIONS

Sorry if this is posted somewhere else but is there a way to tell how much our ronin payment will be? The only thing I see in the admin is Ronin rakechase daily earnings and monthly earnings...is there a way to tell how much it will be based on my monthly earnings?

All info is here, really:

http://lockpoker.eu/promos/ronin/

If for example you pay $900 in rake total, you'll get $297.00 returned total from Ronin. $5,350 paid is $2,442.00 returned, etc.
