From the PokerStars newsletter

PokerStars has sent a reminder of their policies for all affiliates.

Using PokerStars within Domain Names are not permitted.

- PokerStars does not permit its affiliates to use the term PokerStars or any of our trademarks (such as SundayMillion, EPT, LAPT, APPT, etc) in any domain used to send players to us. Any affiliate found doing so will be required to transfer the domain to us.

- If you do own a domain containing any of our trademarks, please login to your registrar and unlock the domain which needs to be transferred. You should then send us the authorization code. We will then initiate the transfer and pay the transfer cost associated with this. Continued practice will cause the affiliate to be subject to termination and payments suspended. Please help us with this issue by either handing your domain/s over or reporting any such domains to us.

Marketing Codes

- You have been issued one marketing code and this is to be used only on the site on which you have been approved to promote PokerStars. Any partners found to be sending traffic from an unapproved site will risk having the traffic from that site invalidated and/or having their affiliate status removed.

Approved use of Marketing Codes

- Creating web sites for the sole purpose of taking advantage of PokerStars terms, in particular PokerStars Marketing Code, is not allowed. Sites targeting marketing codes will need to cease doing so or risk payments being withheld. Whilst including a marketing code on your site is allowed, a site which only exists for the purpose of promoting marketing codes is not. This includes websites with marketing code in the URL and other sites which are deemed to serve no purpose other than to promote the marketing code.

PokerStars would like to thank you for your understanding and compliance with the points above. We look forward to your continued support and help to promote PokerStars to the world.

Best Regards,
The PokerStarsPartners Team
