Both the Rockbet.com and ThisisVegas.com affiliate programs have admitted to shaving players and online casino affiliates are actually pleased to get the news! When you speak of "shaving" in affiliate terms it usually means an unethical program is taking away players from affiliates and the result is a loss of commissions due the affiliate. This is a bit different…
You see, Rockbet (Rockbet Partners) and ThisisVegas (400 Affiliates) have created an affiliate contest that is being called "The Reverse Shaving Contest 2009". Rather than losing players, you actually gain players from non affiliated players (house accounts). The programs will award over 100 players to affiliates in the programs, each program will award affiliates entries into a draw where real money depositing players will be added to your account! The harder you work, the more entries you earn, you even get entries for simple tasks like adding the programs to your home page, publishing reviews, make landing pages, etc. Your task is to drive as many players to the casinos as you can.
Both casinos are Rival Gaming casinos, accept US players and offer both a download and a Mac friendly flash version. They convert very well and payment methods exist to make it easy for US based players. Both also offer a no deposit bonus to help you attract more customers and the welcome bonus is very attractive and realistic. Sign up to Rockbet Partners here and to 400 affiliates (for ThisisVegas) here.
Contest Rules
- Over 100 depositing non-affiliated players to be added
- Winning affiliates will be randomly chosen and assigned players
- Winners will be chosen at random with at least 25 depositing untracked players being awarded August 1st and the remaining to total 100 untracked players being awarded September 1st.

Entry Rules
Each affiliate can earn 1 or multiple entries into the contest where each entry gives you a chance to win a depositing player. Multiple affiliate accounts does not mean multiple entries.
1 Entry Awarded for the following:
- If you have referred at least 1 depositing player to the casino prior to July 1st (you can still earn points if you have not yet promoted these casinos, this is a bonus entry for existing affiliates).
- or every new depositing player from July 1st to August 31st
- If you have a text/download link or banner on your homepage of your affiliate site for the duration of the contest
- If you create or already have a custom landing page or casino review page.
- If you want to gain extra entries and have other means to generate more exposure to both casinos email your affiliate managers for details
Example: If you have an affiliate website and have a text/download link for Rockbet (1) and This is Vegas (1) on your homepage plus have a custom review for Rockbet (1), and have referred 1 depositing player at Rockbet before July 1st (1) and referred 3 players to This is Vegas (3) after July 1st: you would have 7 total entries into the contest. The more entries you have the better your chances of winning a player to your account.
FAQ:
What type of players are available?
Most un-affiliated players will be very recent, active and have joined in the last 4 months. The players available will have at least 1 deposit in their account. Players with an average deposit of $250 or higher will not be available. The minimum amount of commissions generated from these added players will exceed $5000 with the potential for some players to be loyal players for years.
I don’t have a website but can I still qualify?
Yes, you can still qualify however your chances of winning increase with a website as more entries are awarded for adding links, banners and review pages.

Absolutely!
