Poker Affiliates

Income of a poker affiliate

One of the most popular card games that are known as a challenge and a thought provoking game is poker. Thousands of web pages are dedicated to the fascinating game of poker. You will be surprised to see the increasing number of poker rooms on the internet. Online poker rooms have players all over the world that play and carve a niche for themselves.

A poker affiliate introduces new members to poker rooms that increase the traffic and popularity of the rooms. Online poker rooms are always hungry for new members as it is one of the best unique ways of making money by the rake. During the tournament season more members join poker rooms and thus poker rooms earn a lump sum in this manner.

The topic of discussion is the earnings of a poker affiliate. Diverse poker rooms have different means of earnings for a poker affiliate. One of the most common methods is called CPA that refers to the phrase cost per affiliation. Many frauds have happened in the past that has caused losses to poker rooms as new players that were introduced by poker affiliates. Why would a poker room pay a poker affiliate a lump sum if the player is not active and definite amount of rake has not been generated that meet the needs of the poker room.

Another method of earning is called MGR or revenue sharing. A poker affiliate gets a fixed percentage of the rake that is generated by all the new players introduced by an affiliate to the online poker room. This is a very lucrative means of earning money, as a percentage of the rake generated by each player will be deposited in your account.

A poker affiliate is spoilt for choice to earn credits either by CPA or MGR. Which is a better and steady means of earning money every month? Both plans have positive and negative points and CPA method looks very lucrative as you get a fixed percentage of money for introducing new players. However, most poker affiliates opt for MGR method, as it is a steady and a better means of earning more money.

The CPA method is very lucrative for poker rooms. The new players introduced by you should be active and the amounts earned by them are paltry then you may bid goodbye to $100 per referral as the manager can cancel the credits earned by you, as the poker room is not benefiting from the addition of these new players. A poker affiliate should know that CPA will never be a lucrative deal and you cannot earn more than the worth of the players that are introduced to the poker room.

The number of poker affiliates is rising as many new poker rooms are being introduced and the already existing ones consolidate their premium hold in by adding new members that will generate more business for the poker room. MGR will take a few months to consolidate and then it will give you fruitful returns.
