If you’re looking to venture outside poker, or looking to promote a site on the Cryptologic network, then a very good choice is the Focal Click affiliate program. With Focal Click, you can currently promote three casinos and one poker room.
Focal Clicks poker room is Sun Poker, a poker room that has been around for a long time, although went through a name change in 2006(from Carribean Sun Poker to just Sun Poker), which was a positive move and the rebranding is really helping the name of the poker room.

Sun Poker is a poker room based on the Cryptologic Network, and are one of the main pioneers of this network. The Cryptologic network is a site best targeted to Europeans as this is the majority of their playerbase. There are however games around the clock, so promoting it outside Europe is still a strong option. The Crypto network also plays hosts to some Sportsbooks poker rooms like William Hill, so it is a good site to advertise for fish. One aspect of the network that also should be marketed is the 7 Card Stud games. 7 Card Stud is more popular on this network at $1/$2 than any other poker room or network, with games at higher limits too.
Sun Poker is an excellent poker room to promote, based on many factors. The network offers $4 Million in guaranteed tournaments per month, with tournament prices ranging from £6 to £55, offering a wide variety for your players. Sun Poker also offers a lot of great promotions, and recently have launched the One Sick Promo promotion, where they will send the top 100 Poker Points players to the WSOP, including some people being able to stay in a Vegas Mansion, get a private jet to fly into Vegas, and even a $50,000 HORSE seat. This is the perfect example of the marketing machine at Sun Poker, with a promotion that just blows away the rest of the poker rooms.
The affiliate side of things is excellent. There are always regular newsletters sent out informing affiliates of the latest promotions and news for all the gambling sites under this banner. You can view individual rake stats per player, and the affiliate system also lists information not found at other programs, for example the demographics of the players currently playing under you. There is a large selection of banners, ranging from typical ad banners to current promotions, pop-up windows, poker room reviews, press releases and more. All banners and graphics are very professionally done, and come in a wide variety of sizes and styles to suit your website. Here is just ONE of the many eye-catching banners available:
Affiliate payments are always made within the first two weeks of the month. The affiliate managers at Focal Click are also excellent. They’re a wealth of information, they aren’t overbearing, and they’re always willing to help out any way you can. If you’re a member of the Poker Affiliate World Forums, you’ll also see Mark there, who posts regularly and not just to promote his poker room; you’ll see him discussing current issues, providing site reviews and advice and so much more. I have always had extremely pleasant dealings with Focal Click, and cannot recommend the affiliate managers enough.
