Great question, and in short the answer is yes, if you're successful. The problem streamers face is getting to a point where you've built enough of a following so that people want to help and use your links. This usually takes a long time, and being able to afford the loses and costs up to that point is a big factor. The amount we receive in affiliation is relatively small compared to the amount we put through the slots each month. It's also something where the income and outgoings varies massively each month so we try to look at this with a long term view. Each slot we play can be hundreds up or down, and so over the month we can be thousands up or thousands down.
Now the affiliation is similar in that the income fluctuates massively, however, you can't have a losing month - we never owe the casinos anything. We have good months and bad months, and the affiliation certainly does not always cover the loses. So the jeopardy is 100% real, just like when anyone plays. We hope that at some point the channel will grow and the affiliate income will exceed the expenditure every month, but at the moment this isn't the case. Some other channels will be performing much better, and others no doubt not so good. I'm sure with more effort we will get there, but i'd like to say thanks to you, and anyone else that has used our links for supporting us financially, and allowing us to continue to build the channel. We both very much appreciate it.
