I dont think your going to find you will do very well asking for CPA from the smaller rooms. For starters unless you have built a relationship with them they probably wont give you a second thought as I have experienced...if they do how quick are they to yank you off the progam when you can't do what they require.
I found the small rooms are less likely to give it to you unless they see your putting the effort into them. I asked for CPA from one room last winter...was turned down very quick with "we dont do CPA" and they dont I know that, I asked again the other night and we're discussing the details.
Do I want CPA for everyroom...no This one is different because it can be unpredictable if the players will stay or go. I could still lose out in the long run. I have seen some small rooms attract more players for me than others.
An example I leased pages to rooms to supplement income for advertising expenses. I agree to x amount of depositing players with min deposit for 3 mths or whatever. Yeah it seems like it can be a great deal, I get my money upfront and I work for them till our agreement is finished. I had more RMP at that room in two weeks than I had elsewhere. Your taking a risk and possibly losing out ...fortunatly with that room I was able to see the stats as if I was on MGR so I know not to take that deal again.
If I could there would be three rooms that I would take CPA, the others would be MGR.
Also want to add I think you should get to know the rooms as well and how player retention is and things like that before deciding. I immediatly jumped on CPA for Bodog and wish I didnt, and there a couple of others that I wish I wasn't in such a rush when I decided which program i was going to go with.
