What are Poker Affiliate Programs?
The online poker rooms make money by 'raking' tables. When a player sits down at a table and makes a bet, a small percentage of that bet goes to the online poker room. When a player enters a tournament, a small entry fee goes to the room. Through their affiliate programs Poker rooms will pay you to send them players.
There are two ways which you can make money as a poker affiliate:
1)
Revenue Share - You take a percentage of the revenue your referrals create for the poker room through raking. This percentage varies from poker room to poker room. The more money your players bet (win or lose), the more rake.
2)
Cost Per Action (CPA) - Earn a bounty for each real money player you refer to the room. You are paid a set amount once that player reaches a certain wagering requirement, whether they win or lose.
