Become an Online Poker Affiliate

What if you could make money from online poker without actually making a deposit or playing a single hand of poker? What if you didn’t even have to know how to play online poker to win big? That’s the basis of an online poker affiliate program. It lets you make money from the online poker market by promoting reputable brands to new players who don’t yet have accounts.

The key to making money is to promote the smaller online poker sites. Many players have accounts at Poker Stars and Full Tilt Poker, but not all players have accounts at some of the smaller poker rooms like Red Star Poker or PKR. Promoting these brands is key to making some real money. Below you’ll find a rundown on the different types of affiliate marketing available to you:

If you are just starting out as an online poker affiliate, start out with  five rooms to promote in the early stages of your career.

There are three main types of online poker affiliate marketing you can do:

CPA (Cost Per Acquisition): The poker site will pay you a one-time fee every time you sign up a real-money poker player. Typically, payments range from $75 to $250 or more depending on how many players you typically refer (high-volume affiliates tend to earn more).

Revenue Share: You’ll be paid a percentage of your player’s real-money revenue. The percentages tend to range from 20% to 60% and it’s based on each player’s gross monthly revenue.

Rakeback: Affiliates who offer rakeback tend to pay most of their revenue share back to players. It’s a great incentive to get players to play more, which in turn increases your revenue as an affiliate. All of the major online poker affiliates offer rakeback.
