Poker Affiliate Program

Here's How It Works

It's simple... your guests play real-money poker - you receive a piece of the rake.

There probably isn't an easier way to make money from any home-based business. Just imagine, when someone asks you what you do for a living, you can tell them you own a piece of the stake in an international online poker room. You are a Poker Industry Professional. And what do you do? You invite people to play poker. The more you invite the more you make! It couldn't be easier.

First let's look at how you make money.

Simply put, you receive 25% of the rake generated by your registered guests' play for as long they play on our brands. For example, when your registered guest participates in a hand of poker with five other players the total rake is split among all five players. You would receive 25% of your player’s assigned portion.

The rake is a small management, hosting, marketing, and operations fee earned by the house from each real-money hand played. On average the rake equals 5% of each played bet capped at a maximum of $3 per hand. Not all real money hands are raked. We have a No Flop, No Drop policy.

You can see the current rake in a game by clicking on the ‘?’ in the upper right hand corner of a real money table.

When there are side pots, the rake is applied to the pots on a proportionate basis. Meaning that the total rake is collected from the various pots based on the percentage of the total pot each side pot represents.

Remember the name of the game is volume.

The more people you get to play the more income you earn. Keep in mind that a single aggressive player, that plays regularly, can generate for you anywhere from $25 to $250 per month in affiliate partnership commissions.

Now let's look at how people become your Registered Guest.

This is the easy part. All they have to do is register at any of our brands, place your affiliate partner CODE in the appropriate field, and play. The DBPN affiliate software takes care of all the rest. Your registered guests do not have to do anything else so the burden is not on them to build your poker business.

Your Affiliate CODE.

When you register to become an affiliate partner you will be given the opportunity to submit several CODES for each brand. Each brand will have a separate code. This is done to make it easy for you to help your guests remember. It allows you to target your promotional efforts. For example, if you are part of a bowling club called The Pins, then you can make one of your CODES, "PINS". And, if you are part of an association that deals with automobiles then you can make another one of your CODES, "MUSTANG". If you're part of a big sports fan group then make your CODE the name of the team. And so on.

It gets even easier.

You can select a professionally designed and produced banner ad that can be placed on your, or any, website - at no charge to you. When a potential guest clicks on the ad and registers to play, the ad software will automatically register them under your partnership with your CODE. They don't even have to know it! Make an effort to place these ads on as many websites as you can. You can even email them to potential guests to log right in from their emails. Invite them to a friendly game of Texas Hold'Em.

There are many banner ad design selections, from those with tournament and event schedules, to those with enticing content and special offers. For example, DoylesRoom.com will even offer each of your guests up to $100 matching bonus on their first deposit.* To help out even more, DBPN can place special banners ads with your CODE on the DBPN server, for a minimal cost. These "special" promotional ads are updated regularly by DBPN so as new promotions are created your ads will be updated automatically.

As an affiliate partner you will have access to special tracking statistics so you can monitor the effectiveness of your various marketing efforts and CODE selections. This can become a serious, long-term money-making business.

*Offers and matching bonuses may vary and change without notice. The $100 matching bonus example shown here is for explanation purposes only and may or may not apply at time of registration.

Here's how you get paid.

All earned affiliate Partnership payments are electronically deposited directly into DBPN’s player account. You can withdraw these funds to your third-party account (i.e., Neteller) at your leisure. Monies earned in the current month are paid in the following month on the 15th of the month. Payments are made once a month.

You can monitor all Partnership activities from the poker room cashier, linked under Account Summary, any time you wish. There you will find data concerning your partnership activities.

Be aware:

For the safety of our guests and Partners, DBPN maintains and uses monitoring software programs that ferret out clandestine activities and fraudulent playing, and sponsors professional detective players to participate randomly in daily games.

As an Affiliate Partner, you cannot sign yourself up under your own program and if too many of your registered guests pay with stolen credit cards or habitually charge-back credit card deposits, then you will be terminated from the program and forfeit all accrued affiliate fees.
