That $1000 fraud charge sounds horrible (every cent?!) – but I’d need more info. Do they tell you how many players deposited?
If it was just one – then at least I can understand why it was all returned.
And yes – if other players won the cash quickly (before chargeback) then the poker room has to honour it and payout to the other players – and your share will be 25% – if that’s your affiliate percentage.
Sounds unfair – until you think it out.
The rake share of $19.31 from $1000 is low (at just 1.9% of deposits) but does not surprise me too much – as frankly most casual poker players are crap – and it doesn’t take them too long to chew through their bankroll.
Remember that rakes are only 3% of table stakes – and are usually capped at a low level – so that someone could deposit and burn $1000 in a single hand and only perhaps contribute $3 in rakes.
Here is a snapshot of some poker users I have at a program that gives individual stats :
– Dep $100
total rake $77 = 77% (a top player turns over stake)
– Dep $150
total rake $43 = 28% (average)
– Dep $43
total rake $5 = 11% (average)
– Dep $30
total rake $3 = 10% (average)
– Dep $300
total rake $27 = 9.0% (average)
– Dep $5715 (yes one user) – total rake $309 = 5.4% (keen player – but rubbish)
Basically most players sems to generate about 5%-20% of total rake of their deposits – meaning a 20% share pays only 1%-4% of deposit value to affiliates.
Then you have bonus payments – fees – fraud (etc). The bottom line drops down.
:bored:
The only good thing about poker players and affiliates is that if you can market to good ones (like the top player above) then they can stay playing and turn a small deposit into a lot of rake.
:kisser:
But that’s just how it’s panning out for me – and I’m relatively new to the poker side of it. Hope it helped.
Any bigger poker affilaites prepared to share numbers and facts ?
