Reply To: Revshare or CPA?

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$, still starting at -90$ ?

let’s say you sign up 100 players with CPA and not one single player makes a deposit. is that fair to the casino? do you think they’re really going to pay you for any of those joins?

no one will ever pay you more than your traffic is worth…so whether you get shaved, or whether you get shaved and switched to revshare before you try it somewhere else….the only fair way for you and the casino is revshare.

applies to every industry…there’s no way to beat your sponsor.
