Okay, I’ll be first to bite.
What I look forward to as being an affiliate are the promotions available for new player signups and first deposit bonuses with reload bonuses as these are the best tools for promoting any Poker Site in my experiences. Another is affiliate tier programs as this spreads and promotes link exchanges between the associated websites that my friends and I have.
The above are the basics. However, for me to even think of becoming an affiliate of any Poke Site there are a few requirements that must be met. The Pokersite must have a tangable presence wherever they’re operating from-no unattended severs in remote closets. Need to know the software manufacturer and distributer, the outside source who tests your software programs and what outside source reviews the shuffling. Further, the issuer of your license to operate your site must be listed and what regulatory authority you operate under. All of these need to be verifiable.
Once all of the above are satisfied we get to the fruit of what I expect from all sites I promote. Hosting of tournaments both freeroll and buy-in, private tables for ring games for associates that I ‘m aquainted with, online support to resolve issues and answer questions for any player I bring in and an affiliate manager who response to emails in a timely manner as necessary.
As far as compensation goes I find most affiliate programs I’m associated with are fair. If they weren’t I wouldn’t be affiliated with them-period. If you can meet the above criteria and have a fair affiliate program to offer I’m interested.
