Poker Room Affiliate Programs

In order to provide a rakeback service you have to signup with the individual poker rooms as an affiliate. When you do this, you can then login to your affiliate account to get the banners and links that you need to put on your website. When someone clicks on these banners they are taken to the poker room site to signup and they will be tracked under your account. You also need to signup as an affiliate with the poker rooms in order to login and get your player stats. Your player stats provide the total rake information that you need in order to pay your members or provide reports for your members so they can easily track their earnings. Nearly all card rooms provide your player stats in an easy to use, Excel format that can be easily manipulated and uploaded using the Rakeback Manager card room module.

Be aware when signing up as an affiliate with a poker room that you will typically have the option to choose one of two different types of commission earnings.

• The first type of commission program available is called CPA and refers to earning a set amount for every signup you send to the poker room (usually somewhere between $50 and $100 when the signup makes their initial deposit).
• The second type of commission program is called Revenue Share or MGR. This type of commission is based on a percentage of the poker rooms earnings on each signup that you send, and is continuous; that is, every month you continue to earn a percentage. Poker rooms pay somewhere between 20% and 40% under an MGR or Revenue Share commission structure. If you will be paying your players rakeback, make sure to signup as an affiliate under the Revenue Share or MGR commission structure.

Use the poker room affiliate links to the right to signup for specific cardrooms. The rooms shown are the major players and are the best rakeback programs for your members. There are many, many others but in my opinion I see members consistently gravitate to the ones listed on your right. At the very least, they provide an excellent start for growing your rakeback business.

Please note that many cardrooms require that you first create a player account of your own. This is necessary for transferring money between your account and your member accounts. In addition, you will need to cashout your profits, which will also require that you have a player account.
