Hi everyone

I understand that there has been some questions regarding our program in this thread. Let me clarify certain things on what is happening to the affiliate program at PokerRoom.com as well as what have been the stand in the past.

You are absolutely correct that affiliates have not received revenues (or been credited for losses) for their customers in the casino-part of PokerRoom.com. The reasons/explanations for this are several. 1) Poker is the main business of PokerRoom.com and its customers 2) I think by offering affiliates the best deals in terms of poker revenues for their customers, we have emphasized this as we focus on poker, we give the incentives to affiliates and their customers to do the same as well as the fact that we never do marketing for our casino-part 3) Due to resources have been scarce on the development side as well within the affiliate management, casino has not been integrated into the program.

However, this will now change as of 4th of May this year, casino will be integrated into the affiliate program. Once it has been launched, I will happily explain what makes PokerRoom.com's affiliate program the best and fairest in the industry.

Regarding life-time vs 3-year rule of compensation/revenues for a referred customer, we do have a 3-year rule in place from time of first deposit made by a customer. I think this also fair as other programs, can terminate your payments for referred customers within 60 days, if you have not met their requirements.

Please get back to me with your feedback on the above and what you feel about it as my and PokerRoom.com's intention is to have a partnership rather than a referrer program with our affiliates. I, as the affiliate manager at PokerRoom.com, will try my very best to meet your demands, listen to you, assist you, as you are extremely important for me and our business.

Yours sincerely

I do not believe that for a second. You guys are adding new games all the time to your platform and I am sure your software engineers could have easily integrated the casino games into the affiliate program. Anyways, I have refused to market your site because of this reason, but maybe I will have a change of heart if you get rid of the 3 year rule. Any chance of that happening?

Hi,

I've promoted PR for some time now. I've put up with the obvious bs about not getting paid for the casino games; and it has hurt PR's positioning considerably on my sites. I would'nt even list it all if not for the fact that it is a no-download poker room.

because of that fact; only only because of it; I will continue to keep PR listed; but if you ever want a shot at premium ad placement on any of my sites will need to

1. give me credit for the life of the player, not 3 years. that is a deal breaker and its not further negotiable. There are just too many places that WILL happily offer that deal; and that's a true partnership.

2. of course, give me a % of losses on casino games played by players I sent. Do that; and you will actually start to get traffic interested in playing your higher house edge games. I'd be a complete moron to ever consider listing you on any pages with traffic looking to play casino games with no further explanation necessary as to why.


Other than that I think PR has been okay. They pay on time, i've received no complaints from players about the place (which is also ultra-important in my book).

So you guys ever decide to do the right thing, and you might be, no I think I can say you WILL be pleasantly surprised as to how taking the high road pays off in the long run.

thanks for listening
