Had a long think about this one but want to raise it. The giveaways on this site total £6000 a month or £72000 p.a. That's the net figure. A simple calculation will show that, in order to give away £72000 p.a. the combined income of Jimbo and Craig needs to be £120000p.a. That's the gross figure. That's £120000 just to afford the giveaways. I am assuming that they both actually live somewhere and pay bills just like the rest of us. Let's imagine, therefore, that they can pay their bills and pay these prizes out. That would mean an income not far shy of £200000 p.a. between them. Um...don't mean to be rude but neither, it seems to me, have jobs which would pay this much.
So...how can they afford the giveaways? Could it be that they are paying them out of their winnings? Well, no, of course not. They are in the red are they not? A few big wins here and there can't disguise the fact that, mostly, as they always say, the casino always wins. So...back to my question - how can they afford the giveaways? Well unless they both have access to private wealth (and I don't think that's likely), the only possible answer must be that affiliate fees cover the giveaways. Now - I have no problem with that, of course and, as Jimbo reminds us fairly reguarly, they don't have to run the giveaways. Except...it also doesn't make sense for them to be affiliates if all that happened to the money was that they gave it away. So, it would seem that their affiliate income is substantial. Enough to cover the cost of the giveaways (already established that the money can't come from anywhere else) and enough to make it worth their while to bother with giveaways at all.
That isn't quite the impression you get from the blurb at the start of videos, though. The impression is that the giveaways are given with no thought of self gain on Jimbo or Craig's part. It's not true, guys, is it? You need your followers to play so that you can get paid. You are not actually putting your hand into your pockets to pay the prize money. It comes directly from your followers' play online. I think it's time you were more honest. I get you can't say precisely what the terms of your affiliations are but you can go along way to explaining how the giveaways work. Currently, you give the impression that online casino gaming is a benign activity and that you are not influencing people to become involved in what is ,essentially, an activity which will lose them money. Currently, the Gambling Commission is looking at TV adverts which give the impression that betting and gambling are all about winning. Why don't you guys show the mainstream media how to do this properly? Gambling means casinos win 99% of the time (something admitted by the CEO of Coral/Ladbrokes in answering a questions from a House of Commons Select Committee). Your giveaways rely on people losing money so say that. You can put it that, when people play, it's like buying a ticket into a raffle. Be honest about the extent of your affiliation earnings OR explain how it is possible for you both to give this much money away each month. I think the latter depends on the former - can you prove me wrong?
