Thanks mate.
I mean really our goals are to bring good quality players to the table. After 6 months to a year this could be done well enough because we have developed a database, and a forum of users. We generally know who are quality players are. We can promote these.
As a new affiliate we have limited information as to our player value. Thus to be on a CPA can be good for us. We can gain good revenue from the start. But if th player value is low, then issues can arise. May affiliates who have taken CPA for various sites have brought in numerous players to find out they have to wait for payment due to low rake!! Poker yes! When player value is low, some affiliate sites hold payments.
So i think this is good question to get clarity on with your AM period. It happened to me one time, so if i can help other affiliates then I am happy i have.
MInd you if our players are whales, and rake huge amounts we lose out on lifetime revenues..so really to be honest CPA alone may not be the best.
Personally Hybrides are where its at. Its where a relationship can be built. A negotiation. An agreement could be worked out. Yu can revenue in CPA, plus have rev share.. i think its a win win..

I agree with the case of having something documented as proof. This is essential – I’d advise that you have an email that can be verified by another CAP member or notarized – I believe that a public notary can verify and validate emails in this day and age if the email is hosted on a public service perhaps?
Steve has some good points. Again, read my post for other issues surrounding CPA, Revenue Share and Hybrid (combined CPA and Hybrid) deals.
Applause to Steve for bringing a good and beneficial discussion to CAP.
