2. To the casual observer making money from online poker
might seem like a far-fetched fantasy. But hundreds if not
thousands of people are. Most of whom do not own a
poker site or work for them directly. Many of them may
never have even visited a poker site. Dismissive persons
may believe that such a program is just another of the
Internets highly ineffective get rich quick schemes, but the
truth is very different.
3. The affiliate industry is a way of for two parties to make
serious money based on the success and skills of the
others. A successful affiliate will draw in large numbers of
visitors to their site and then pass them on to the poker
company where they will hopefully choose to sign up. If
the affiliate fails in their role of attracting visitors to the
online poker forum they will receive no payments and
therefore will not be maximising their profit capabilities.
Therefore it is in the best interests of both parties that the
affiliate does all they can to produce the fully signed up
members to a poker site. The site gets their customers and
the affiliate gets an income for the lifetime of that player.
In return it is in the poker sites best interest to not only

4. Most poker sites offer affiliate programs with varying
offers and percentages of a player's lifetime value. Players
create money for sites by entering tournaments, playing in
hands with large rakes and by adding extra money to their
account. So fundamentally all a player needs to do is play
regularly to produce an income for the site. Therefore an
affiliate can earn a cut of all this money made for the site.
The percentage may range between 20 and 35%
depending on the site and their individual affiliate plans.
So when an affiliate can attract dozens or even hundreds
of players and earn around 25% off of each ones money
created, it is not hard to see how that money can soon add
up to a fairly sizeable sum.
5. Once the affiliate has passed the player onto the
respective poker site, their job is effectively done, for that
player. They must then concentrate on attracting more
and building on the initial success. There is no need for
follow ups or extra work after finding a player, the job is
done when the link is clicked on and a person signs up to a
cash account. All the affiliate then needs to do is sit back
and wait for the player to earn them some extra cash.
