I don't think the partners are cheating wgt at all........I think those partners are helping keep some of us here more than wgt might think. that said....those 'some of us' might not be a concern to wgt cuz we rely on the partners (videos/peanutlabs/etc) to buy balls more than making a deposit.
I guess what i'm saying is.....maybe the partners are getting ripped off lol
however.....not being familiar with the target/goal of the 'partners' .....perhaps one sale or site visit in 100? is a break even?
I know i've made a few purchase from advertisers on here, so it does work. what the value or cost is to/for them I'm not sure.
maybe no one is getting ripped and everyone is happy?
that said though......even zynga and other games you can play on facebook for example offer free things....nearly every 4 hours. and substantial things at that to where you can truly play the game for free if you'd like. but it's different here due to different items required to help enjoy/improve your game and 7 views per day just don't quite cut it.
the more I type, the more I get it........it really is a partnership. wgt gets help keeping people happy from the partners, the partners get feedback, eyeballs, and sales, and from time to time we can buy some stuff with what we earn when providing the feedback/sales.
