Hi
I like the characters you have used but i believe they are not appropiate for your site. They give a 'not so serious' affect on your site and then your site becomes difficult to take serious as a result. I also think the 'they're about to anounce the lottery numbers' tag is a bit to easy.
Your site is good, dont get me wrong, however it all seems too good to be true based on the design and content. I would maybe look at strengthening this side up, bring in another color, maybe differentiate the content area and maybe use some black and white photos of the affiliate managers which change to the color version when you mouse over them.
Just some thoughts..
