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 ?
:help:
I like that little illustration, so i will share some numbers from one poker room where i have quite a few players, but i’ll just throw out a few examples, one player in particular caught my eye
Dep-$100 … total rake $1092.55(very impressive)
Dep-$400 … total rake $698.72
Dep-$30 032(thats not a misprint) … total rake $376.82
Dep-$210 … total rake $232.53
this is a good poker room, so you usually get good players, i don’t know what room Gooner has but he has a sports site and typically sports bettors arent as serious as poker only players, with few exceptions of course, so that might be the reason for the difference in stats
i find that for the most part my players are good, and that was really the entire purpose of me even creating my first website, to help gamblers win money, and that is why you always see me bitching about the % of player losses commission, i make no money off any of those programs from thousands of players i sent, only the places where i get % of total action bring me money, and since poker offers that, unlike most casinos or sportsbooks, i like to focus on them, and looking at my totals, ignoring the one guy who dumped over $30k, the average of my players combined is currently at close to 60% and going up since they are still playing, using Gooner’s deposit to rake chart
As for Titan Poker, what they did was wrong, if they screwed up its their fault, not yours, from what you said, some kind of fraud was commited, is that right, the player deposited $1000, blew it all, then cancelled his credit card, or something stupid like that, how is that your fault, the one thing i’ve learned over the years(and i haven’t been doing this too long, but time flies when you’re online)is to be really selective of who you partner up with, and i’m sure most people here would say the same, take Bonusgeek’s advice, if they don’t treat you right, dump em, cuz somebody else will treat you right.
