How long does it take on average for a rev share Poker player to equal CPA? Say you’re on a site with 100$ CPA and 25% rev share. Since the bonus is substracted from your share, it must take a long time before players get up to 150$ worth of revenue? Assuming the bonus is 50$.
Party Poker for example, with high sign up bonus and frequent reloads. I’m convinced that their conversion rate is high and, as a recognized site, a lot of people sign up. But my calculations go like this : 500 raked hands to unlock the 100$ bonus => Rakes start at 50 cents (when the pot reaches 5$) => 500×0.5 = 250$ in player rakes / ~9-10 players per table => 25$ for your player => 25$ x 0.25 (your commission) = 6.25 commission – 100$. So under the rev share, a bonus chaser would start at -93.75$ ?
To be fair, taking into account that some pots may reach as high as 1$ (talking in terms of small stakes players, which are mostly the bonus hunters that leech Party), let’s say that the 500 hands produce 400$ in player rakes. 400 / 10 = 40$ rake for your player x 0.25 = 10$ commission – 100$, still starting at -90$ ?
