SatoshiDICE.com - The World's Most Popular Bitcoin Game

[dooglus]

The primary reason for the affiliate program existence, is to give people and entities the opportunity to be part of Satoshi Dice's
success, earning a lifetime revenue share split on the edge.

But you aren't sharing revenue only, you're also sharing the risk. And the downside may be more than the referring user owns. What will do you do if I refer 100 players. 99 of them play small bets, winning and losing around 0.1 BTC each, with a net combined loss of 1 BTC, and the 100th wins 2000 BTC. I will end up owing you 199.9 BTC.

What if I don't have it? Will you sue me for it? Will you confiscate the 1 BTC that was in my balance before I referred you all the extra business? It seems crazy that I risk bankrupting myself when I send new business your way.

But in your case, using it to get a rebate on the edge - is also fine.

(it wont be for someone exploiting the affiliate program by creating several accounts to get a positive edge)

How can you tell the difference between espringe betting 2 BTC on an account he referred himself, and someone trying to get a positive edge? It seems you're making decisions based on people's private intentions. How do you do that reliably?

I think you need to make a clear statement about what is OK and what isn't when referring players, and be clear about what you will do about negative balances.

But if you have sent a lot of players, eventually it will reach a positive amount again.

That's not necessarily true. The profit and loss of a dice site are overwhelmingly caused by a very small number of very big players. 99% of players have a minimal effect on profitability. If I'm unlucky enough to refer 1 lucky whale who quits while he's ahead and 99 small players, I'll probably have an everlasting loss from advertising on your behalf.

Sure. Someone might win 2000 coins if our bankroll would allow it. Right now it doesn't support a 2000 BTC bet so its not possible. Hypothetically lets say we had a bankroll supporting a 2000BTC bet on 50/50 chance. Imagine your affiliate earnings if the player looses the bet. On that particular bet, you would get a huge reward risking 0 BTC.

If it was "risking 0 BTC" then that's fine. But that's not how it works is it? When someone I refer wins 2000 BTC, I end up being liable for 10% of his winnings, don't I?

You will never owe us any money in the sense that you will not be liable for the player's losses. Your affiliate account can have a negative revenue share, but you can always ditch it and create a new one (if you ditch it, your old players won't count, it works in both ways)

We recommend you have one separate affiliate account, and one personal account for making bets.

Can I have two affiliate accounts? One for referring big players and one for small players?

Can I make a new affiliate account for each player I refer, so I can ditch the ones which make a loss?

Where do you draw the line? And are you even able to tell whether two accounts were created by the same people or two different people?

Yeah, if you have a big website, you can have the affiliate change for every new person that signs up... That would be almost or completely automated.

Congratulations

I set 3 of the 5 records at one point yesterday (the 2nd day of the new SD), but lost them all before the end of the day. leen took one of them I'm sure - he seems to be enjoying the leaderboard contests.

Hypothetically lets say we had a bankroll supporting a 2000BTC bet on 50/50 chance. Imagine your affiliate earnings if the player looses the bet. On that particular bet, you would get a huge reward risking 0 BTC.

I think you mean "Risking getting your 0'd, and for all intents and purposes made useless regardless of its previous balance and other people you have referred" ?

I asked the same thing, but didn't really get an answer:

On that particular bet, you would get a huge reward risking 0 BTC.

If it was "risking 0 BTC" then that's fine. But that's not how it works is it?

I think they mean that if you refer from an account with a zero balance, then it's zero risk. But then they're not clear about how many accounts you're allowed to make, and how many of them are allowed to refer new accounts, so it's all very confusing.

If I had referred a few decent sized players from one account, I would be scared to refer anyone else from that account, in case they turned out to be a big winner. But I'd also be afraid to refer anyone from a new account, in case that was considered "abuse" and caused all my accounts to be closed.

We really need a clear statement about what is allowed and what isn't, because otherwise we have no idea how best to proceed, and it seems to be better to refer people to other sites instead, where they don't charge you for referring lucky players.

That's probably true.

Not the same SatoshiDICE as many years before. It was a good time then.
