When a site has too many positive reviews, than you know they are fake or were paid to give their opinion. You see something similar on Amazon; some people get paid to review some items and in 95% of the cases, all these reviews are positive to very positive.
Not really fake, there are casinos and other companies that want to know the feedback of their user so they somehow put a pop-up on the site and ask their user to give a review. Other people who are not into giving feed back are then, due to contentment to the site, then give their positive feedback. So if we see lots of positive review on the site we can check the format of the review if it is a fake or not because review made by shills are almost identical.
then it would be safe to presume that they are indeed making money. It is really just that there are some things which need to be changed up over time. Its really just that my assumption too.
I don't know about that since they never really shared their profit margins from these contests. Honestly, even if they were losing money, it's like peanuts for them, but they do need to make these contests more creative.
I believe the contest is a kind of giving back to the community. Or probably they find it cheaper than hiring a professional artist to make art for them. Either way, I agree that we never know if they are making a profit out of these contests unless they let the public know.
I don't think their revenue is the issue as the reason for cutting expenses through decreasing of their sig participants. Because if that's the case, then why they are still conducting an art contest here? (Exclusive only for forum users), the prize is quite generous and they're consistent in it. I'm not certain but I think this coming December, they will launch an art contest again for the holiday season since that's what we used to in the past years. Anyway, Roobet is indeed one of the casino with a long running campaign and among of those who have less to no complaints from their gamblers.
It is possible that their expectation is already met by the signature campaign and they just wanted to maintain it resulting with reduced budget and decided to reduce the number of its participants.
