If there is one thing out there that I think most new affiliates need, it is a reality check. I don’t say that to be rude, I say that because it is the truth. Many come into the business seeing what one site is doing and thinking “I can do that”, or come up with […]
Hi everyone,
The step by step guide to becoming a poker affiliate is still in progress - part 2 should hopefully be up shortly. The problem with it is that I want to be indepth as possible(as I’m sure you saw by part one) and so I haven’t managed to free up 4-5 hours where […]
When I’m talking to someone about being an affiliate, the conversation always ends up the same: “Okay, I’m in. How do I get started? What do I do next?” It can really be tough to get started too, there’s a lot of things that you should be prepared for, and so I’ve […]

With the situation in the USA, I’m often asked what poker rooms and casinos via their affiliate program offer CPA, or Cost Per Acquisition for players that they send. While I’ve written in the past about why I much prefer Revenue Share to CPA, I can understand where people are coming from, particularly if […]
