I’m thinking about pulling them from my site until this is resolved. I’m making less than half of what I was making before. And I still don’t know whether or not they pay for tournaments. Very likely, NOT.
You guys are doing great! I am making about a 10th. :huh:
I went from $.12 p/ hand to $.06 hmm and taking it inhouse is supposed to help us ?!
The do not pay for tournament play. I was told told by both income access and the absolute rep in amsterdam that “we can’t track that yet”.
Guys,
I try to access the affiliate login page for 2 days now, and have no success.
absolutepoker.com goes well, when I click on the affiliate menu and there login/stats menu the page cannot be displayed. (I know the direct link to there, but I thought that it is a routing problem from my isp, but not, I can reach their main page, but not the affiliate login page.)Anyone has the same problem?
Thanks in advance
Sipka
Sipka…. you beat me to the punch on this… I am experiencing the same thing.. their affiliate link is going 404….

.095 * .25 = 0.02375
So, when AP’s affiliate program was managed by Income Access, affiliates (that earned 25% commission) were being compensated almost two and a half cents per hand played by their players. Notice, not raked hands, just hands.
By the way…
AP’s affiliate program seems to have reverted back to the same sort of calculations used when their program was managed by IncomeAccess. Player revenue is currently (as of Aug. 15th) being calculated as .09 per hand played.
We are also no longer being compensated for tournament fees paid by our players. Under IncomeAccess, we were.
When AP initially began managing the affiliate program themselves they were correctly calculating player revenues based on the actual amount of revenue generated by each player. A player who plays 1000 hands at the .05/.10 tables is obviously worth alot less than a player who frequents the 25/50 tables, and this was the first time we actually saw the revenue that our players were generating as opposed to having an average applied to it.
Applying an average to their revenue calculation is obviously inherently flawed. I guess that if enough people complain that the system is “broken”, when it’s actually working correctly they’re willing to revert it to it’s truly broken state. :eh:
A little bit of communication on AP’s part would be wonderful at this point…
All I know is that my income is way down. To the point of being very discouraging.
I just gave them better exposure on a busier page and this is very anticlimactic.

Viewing your stats today, are you not earning $.09 of revenue per hand played by your referred players?
Looks like it, but I appear to have only a fraction of played hands of what I used to have.
Judging by deposits over the last couple of months, hands should have gone up not down. I make a 10% of what I used to, and deposits have been up nicely the last few months.
I am still fairly new to poker and am used to casinos, but the discrepancy between what has been deposited over the last few months and what I have made lately is staggering. Unbelievably staggering.
Do people deposit thousands at a time and then stop playing?
Dominique – basically, yes they do.
Absolute offers 15% bonuses so a lot of people will deposit $1000 to get $150 in bonus and play 1/2 to clear some bonus. They realise the games are too tight and the software is kinda ugly and hoggish, or just need their bankroll somewhere else so they withdraw.
I am used to seeing chargebacks and withdrawals. How do I know what is going on? I know stats at PP are for the birds, but thought these would be better.
How do I know they didn’t move players to rakeback accounts or remove them entirely?
When I lose 90% of my income while I generate much higher deposits – something stinks.

I’ve seen a few of these. I’ve also got a player that has deposited 28K over the last two months and I’ve made $340 in commission. Makes me want to get serious about promoting casinos.
