Hi,
I am promoting a local affiliate program using mailings and banners. Untill recently I have never promoted bingo so I thought I'd give it a try. But I have no benchmark on what normal revenue per active player is.
Right now I am averaging 15 euros per player per month on a 25% rev share basis. Is this good, bad or ugly? And should I stay or try other programs? I have been searching the forums for this but can't find anything about it.
Thanks in advance for your help! read more
