Cake,

You have three types of players in a new freeroll with an affiliate.

1. players tracked to that affiliate already
2. players not tracked to that affiliate, but will be when they register for an account to play in the freeroll
3. players not tracked to the affiliate that is hosting the freeroll, but tracked to either the poker room or another affiliate.

You basically do not want number 3 in a private freeroll if you an affiliate. I would suggest keeping the private tournaments going for the specific affiliate.

I have heard the argument that even players not tracked to the affiliate can add value to the poker room because they are playing at your poker room regardless, but as an affiliate, I would not want this.

Also, you should be tracking EVERY private freeroll to determine if it adds value to your poker room and to the affiliate.

Regards,

Mark
