Become Your Own Affiliate
Affiliates are entities that bring new poker
players to a poker site in exchange for an incentive.
(HoldemNation is an example of an affiliate.)
Becoming an affiliate is usually a fairly
simple process for folks who are interested in becoming one.
Some sites have varying requirements that must be met (such as a
professional looking website) in order to approve of new affiliates.
Others automatically give all of their players the ability to act as
an affiliate upon sign-up as a player. However, if you have a few
friends that are thinking of giving online poker a try, you should click on one
of the affiliate sign-up links below so that you can refer your friends before
they sign-up and earn
a slice of their ongoing play.
There are two types of commission structures
that affiliates can usually choose from: commission or bounty.
A commissioned affiliate earns a percentage
of the rake that their referring players contribute to the site over
time. This is the structure that we recommend.
A bounty affiliate earns an upfront one
time fee of $50 or more for each new player they bring to the
website.
Each affiliate program has its own terms and
agreement that you must abide by, and you should read these terms
when signing up as an affiliate. However, one of the most
common terms worth mentioning is that you are NOT allowed to refer
yourself to their poker program. In other words, you may not
sign-up for their poker site under your own affiliate.
Violation of this (or any other) term is grounds for having your
affiliate account closed and all funds earned forfeited.
