How do Poker Affiliate Programs Work?

That’s easily explained. You just place a banner or a text link on your website (or even in an email to a friend). Once a person clicks on that link, the poker room “knows” that this person was referred by you. If that person opens an account and starts playing online, you are entitled to earn a commission.

The commission depends on the affiliate program. You can usually choose between two options:

• CPA (Cost per Acquisition): Here you will get a one-time payment of about 100$ to 200$, depending on the program and of the number of players you refer each month.
• Revenue Share: Here you will earn lifetime commissions from your referred players. These vary usually between 25% and 40% of the net revenues a referred player generates.

Obviously, if you refer high-volume players that are loyal to one poker room, revenue share is the way to go. If you are looking for quick cash and the player value might only be low, then CPA is the better option.
On another note, unfortunately there are a lot of affiliate programs that scam their webmasters / affiliates. For example, by not paying them, by lowering the agreed commission, or by retroactively requesting quotas (like 6 new depositors per 3 months) and then by closing the accounts (and keeping all the players) for webmasters who are not able to meet that quota. It makes sense to do some research by yourself, for example by checking out here on what affiliate programs to avoid.
