Poker is not casino … repeat the mantra … poker is not casino.
:hehe:
A poker whale is probably not losing money – remember that poker rooms take money from each hand (the rake) which gets shared with the affiliate.
It’s players who win or lose money … not the room … and for a player to continually be playing and generating rake – then I assume that they are actually winning or at least treading water.
:satisfied
So they’ll play on – hopefully indefinately – or until making money becomes boring.
Our poker pages have been up for more than a year .. but trends are good .. and that is the big difference between CPA and rev-share.
I have no doubt that CPA wins in year one – but you have to work just as hard (with new visitors) to repeat in year two – and again in year three.
If we assume that 40%-50% of customers stay loyal in poker then you can see how rev share is a headstart in year two – and even better in the long term.
And remember – I’m not a poker affiliate really – sports betting is my thing – but I also promote the reliable poker offerings by reliable bookmakers (which is commonplace in Europe).
I’m sure there are much much bigger poker affiliates here.
