No, absolutely not. It is free to sign up, free to
promote and free to use our standard promotional materials. You do not
need to have a PartyPoker.com Account to be an Affiliate.
As an Affiliate, you can select how you get paid. We have two different plans:
- Per sign up plan means you will get paid a
guaranteed amount for every player that opens an Account and makes a
real money deposit to his or her Account.
- Gross revenue percentage share plan means you
will get paid a commission on what the house makes from your players
based on their contribution to monthly gross revenue for the life of
their Account. In other words, the bigger your players, the bigger your
check.
The Poker gross revenue is calculated as the sum total
of all players' contribution to all rakes the players were involved in
while playing at PartyPoker.com, less any credits, bonus or promotional
amounts given to players, charge backs or any uncollectible revenue
attributable to the player. For more details, see the Affiliate Agreement.
We make all Affiliate payments into your Affiliate Account by the fifth of every month. To receive a cash out, login
with your Affiliate ID and password and request a cash out according to
your choice. Cash out options include NeTeller, iGM-Pay, paper check by
FedEx, and paper check by postal mail. You can also transfer funds from
your Affiliate Account directly into your PartyPoker.com player
Account.
Our state-of-the-art marketing system allows you to login
anytime and check your statistics. You can run your reports tracker by
tracker (or in summary) on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. See how
your Sub-Affiliates are doing too! The reports are updated every day.
To access your stats, go to Affiliate Login, login using your Affiliate ID and password, and click Check Stats.
We pay all your affiliate accruals directly into your Affiliate Account. To receive a cash out, go to Affiliate Login, login using your Affiliate ID and password, and request a cash out using any of the cash out options.
A tracking URL (or tracker) is a specific web address
used for tracking online promotions. An example of a tracking URL looks
like this: http://www.PartyPoker.com/index.htm?wm=1000000.
You link your banners or text links through your own unique tracking
URL. Since each tracking URL is unique, when a player enters
PartyPoker.com through one of your tracking URLs, we credit that player
to your Affiliate Account. When using a tracking URL, there is no need
for the player to also enter a sign up bonus code because our system
automatically knows it came from you.
A sign up bonus code is 3 to 12 digit code that you
select in the system. You can have one code or many codes for different
promotions. It can be numbers and/or letters and look something like
"4Poker" or "WinNow123". Each code is unique and is assigned to a
particular Affiliate; hence, when a player signs up using one of your
sign up bonus codes, we know to credit you for that player. The bonus
code is NOT case sensitive. For example, a bonus code such as ‘POKER’
is valid as "POKER" (upper case) or "poker" (lower case) or "Poker"
(upper and lower case).
We strongly recommend that you use a special
promotional offer in your marketing efforts to encourage players when
signing up. This will significantly improve your conversion ratios
(play money players who make a deposit and become real money players).
Each time you activate a sign up bonus code or
tracking URL, you can select what type of bonus offer you want
associated with it, or no bonus offer at all.
There are three types of bonus offers that you can choose from:
Please keep in mind that bonus amounts given to
players are deducted in the calculation of gross revenue, and all bonus
amounts are subject to release requirements that must be met before any
player can play with or cash out the bonus amount so as to prevent
abuse. These restrictions or requirements are contained in the offer
itself and/or on a supplementary disclaimer page. See PartyPoker.com's standard promotional offer terms & conditions for more information on release requirements.
Players enter their sign up bonus code on the Open
Account screen in the PartyPoker.com software, which is the screen
where they first select their AccountName and password. Once entered,
the system will automatically record the code to give the player the
bonus amount, if any, when they make their first real money deposit to
their Account. Please note that if you are promoting offline using a
sign up bonus code and if players do not enter your code, they will not
be tracked to you.
A sign up bonus code is to encourage players to sign
up and make their initial deposit, whereas a deposit bonus code is to
encourage existing real money players to make additional deposits.
Unlike sign up bonus codes, the deposit bonus codes are entered on the
deposit screen of the Cashier, not the Open Account screen. Generally
deposit bonus codes are only used internally by PartyPoker.com to send
to existing players to stimulate deposits and increase actions at the
tables.
