Questions You May Have About The PartyPoker Affiliate Program:1. Are there any fees or hidden costs associated with the Program? No, absolutely not. It is free to sign up, free to promote and free to use our standard promotional materials.
2. What are the different Payment Plans and how do they differ? As an Affiliate, you can select how you want to get paid. We have two different plans and here is how they differ: a). 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 their Account; or b). Gross Revenue Percentage Share 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, i.e., the bigger your Players, the bigger your check.
3. How is Gross Revenue calculated? Gross Revenue is calculated as the sum total of all Players' contribution to all "rakes" the Players were involved while playing at the Site, less any credits, bonus or promotional amounts given to Players, chargebacks or any uncollectable revenue attributable to the Player.
4. What is a Sign Up Bonus Code? A Sign Up Bonus Code is 3 to 12 digit code that you select in the system. You can have one code or many. It can be numbers and/or letters and look something like "4Poker". 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.
5. What types of bonus offers can I use in my marketing materials to encourage Players to open an Account and make their first deposit using my Sign Up Bonus Code or Tracking URL? 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 none. PLEASE NOTE: Bonus Amounts given to Players are deducted in the calculation of Gross Revenue, and all Bonus Amounts are subject to Release Requirements which must be met before any Player can play with or cash out the Bonus Amount so as to prevent abuse. See PartyPoker.com's Standard Promotional Offer Terms & Conditions for more information on Release Requirements.
6. Do I need to offer Players a bonus incentive to encourage them to sign up? If you are promoting offline using a Sign Up Bonus Code, we strongly recommend that you use a special promotional offer in your marketing material to encourage Players to enter your code when signing up. If they do not enter a code, we will not be able to track the Player back to you. If you are using a Tracking URL for online promotions, you do NOT need to offer your Players a special promotional offer to sign up, although it will help encourage Players to join (your conversion ratios will increase); however the Bonus Amounts given to Players are deducted from the calculation of Monthly Gross Revenue so be cautious.
7. Where do Players enter Sign Up Bonus Codes?
Players can use his/her Account to play the free games, but must make a real money deposit in order to play the cash games or tournaments. You will only receive payment on Players that open an Account and make real money desposit(s) to their Accounts.
8. What is a Tracking URL? A Tracking URL is used for online promotions. It looks like this http://www.partypoker.com/index.htm?wm=2005638 and you link your banners or text links through it. Each Tracking URL is unique so when a Player enters the site through one of your Trackers, we credit that Player to your marketing account. When using a Tracking URL, there is no reason for the Player to also enter a Sign Up Bonus Code because we automatically know it came from you.
9. What is a Deposit Bonus Code and how is it different from a Sign Up Bonus Code?
Generally Deposit Bonus Codes are only used internally by PartyPoker.com to mail to existing Players to stimulate deposits and increase actions at the tables.
10. What is a Sub-Affiliate, and how do I register them? A Sub-Affiliate is someone other than you (or a company in which you are a majority stockholder) that promotes PartyPoker.com underneath you and that you get credit for. To register a Sub-Affiliate underneath you, login to the Marketing Section of the website at http://www.partypoker.com/index.htm?wm=2005638 and click 'Register Sub-Affiliate'. The system will automatically send the Sub-Affiliate an email with his/her tracking information and report access. Your Sub-Affiliates will get paid the standard rates, but you will get an additional 20% of what we pay them. We will automatically send your Sub-Affiliate their payment at the end of each month, and also add the additional money into your payment.
12. How do I know how many Players have signed up or how much money I am making? Easy, our state of the art marketing system, allows you to login anytime, from anywhere, and see your statistics. Statistics are updated nightly. You can run the reports tracker by tracker, or in summary, on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. See how your Sub-Affiliates are doing too. To access your stats, go to Affiliate Login, login using your Affiliate ID and Password and click Check Stats.
13. When do I receive my money and what payment options do I have? By default, we will send you all your payments check-by-mail, however upon request, we will pay you by ACH deposit directly into your bank account, by wire ($35 fee), FirePay, NetTeller, or deposit to your PartyPoker.com Account. Just ask us. Payments are sent within 15 days of the close of each month. For example payment for January 1 -31, will be sent to you by February 15. Payments less than $50 will be held over until the total due you is more than $50 and then sent to you.
14. Do you have custom CDs that I can distribute to Players? Yes. you can custom order CDs through PartyPoker with your unique tracker embedded into the software. They charge you only the actual cost of having the CDs made. You can also download the CD setup files to make your own custom CD's. In addition, they have lots of banners and fliers that you can freely use. They will even custom design special promotional items just for you. For a complete listing of banners, fliers, and other promotional materials, go to Affiliate Login, login using your Affiliate ID and Password, then click Banners & Promotional Materials.
