Poker Affiliate Programs - Make money from poker without playing
What is a poker affiliate?
A poker affiliate is someone who sends people to a poker site and either earn a one off payments usually up to $100 or a percentage of the rake that
the players generates. Rake is usually 20% or more, depending upon the site and how many players you refer. Take the rake option, in the long
run it's the only option.
Poker Affiliate Programs
Most poker websites have an affiliate program. With some effort and some networking you can earn good money for yourself. However, you need to keep
up your commitment and keep your website's content fresh to make affiliate schemes really work for you.
If you sign up as an affiliate you get given an affiliate code. If players use this code on signup you start to earn money from the player. It doesn't
matter if the player wins or loses at cash games as they are contributing to the rake, which is what you get paid from.
The affiliate code can also be used in links (internet trackers) and can be placed on websites and in emails. By clicking on the link the potential
player is taken to the poker site and sign up is automatically linked to you at that stage.
Bonus Codes
If possible you should choose your own bonus codes. Nearly all poker sites have a "bonus code box" or a "referred by" section. A lot of players will
fill in either of these sections even if they don't actually have a bonus code. If you choose a good bonus code you could generate income from
players that you have never even met or didn't directly refer. Good bonus codes could include:
free money
advert
friend
internet
buddy
all in
poker
Think of your own list of words and try them. There is nothing better than checking your affiliate stats and finding 3 new sign ups that have come
from nowhere. Signing up to new affiliate programs will help you to get the good bonus codes you are looking for as they should still be available.
Another good tip if your chosen bonus codes have gone is to try misspelling the word you want.
Sub Affiliates
Sub affiliates are another good way to increase your revenue as players tend to swap sites also known as "bonus whoring". If sub affiliates sign up
a player you get a small percentage of their commission.
