hi

not sure that other more experience affilaliate would agree but I now go for MGR everytime where I can

the way I look at it is I have no control over the quality of the players I might send - obviously with a room that you send a decent amount of players to on CPA they will know if your sending decent players (you wont) on MGR you both know

with CPA you get the money up front and the room is taking the risk not you - but speak to them

say look I'd rather share the risk and get to know you and work with you - so you treat me better - and we both win or lose together

I think for new affiliates just thinking about the biggest CPA you can get doesnt help to get the room onside

but doing CPA through PAW is a good solution - afaiks so long as the PAW average player value is good (and your not sending fraud players) then you benefit from the averaging of a bigger pool of stats

which is something a small / new affiliate doesnt have alone

in terms of average player value - that can be an average of some pretty extreme differences -

you'll get a few players happily raking $xxxx at one end and a hell of alot at the other who seem to be able to lose $50 -$100 making the absolute minimum rake possible like 50 cents (I mean I cant figure out how they could lose so efficiently but they do)
