I think if enough of us complain about it, we can get them to change their policy. They are rolling out a new affiliate program in April. Maybe they can make this change.
It’s too bad because I think Pokerroom is one of the better places to play poker. I think they could be one of the top poker rooms if they didn’t “nickel-and-dime” their affiliates to death. I know of many super affiliates that won’t promote them because:
1) they don’t pay affiliates for tournament rake.
2) they don’t pay affiliates for casino earnings.
3) their crappy 3 year clause.
Hopefully they fix their act soon. Sad…they COULD be one the best. Like I said, I really like their site. When I recommend them to my players, I really do mean it. But instead they’ll probably lose market share. I still continue to promote them because I like their site and the affiliates manager says that the new program coming in April will be better. If not, there are hundreds of other poker rooms to promote.
