Promoting Party via Steps Tournies

So I'm back to promoting poker again. This past weekend I happened to play cards with two different groups of old friends. None of these guys play online for money. We use to play alot of kitchen table poker. Now they love to play the SnG style tournaments. I mentioned the step tournies to them and showed them how they work on Party's website. They loved the idea. I'm finding the Step tournies are like crack even to the occasional poker player. They really liked the Mini-Step format. $5+1 buy-in and a chance to win a big payout. The steps do seem easier than they really are. So I promoting the steps for a few weeks to see how it goes. Any suggestions bonus codes and MGR or CPR? Any idea if you get a percentage if they advance in the steps. For example, Player A buys-in for $5+1. You get a percentage of his $1 rake. He advances to the level 2 and gets a freeroll. Would you still get a percentage of his level 2 buy-in since he is actually paying for it by winning level 1? These steps generate alot of rake but Im not sure if we qualify for higher levels.

Party actually responded in a timely manner:

"With regard's to your e-mail, you won't be generating any MGR or any revenue for your players playing in tournaments, the affiliates generate revenues for their players playing in live cash games."

I didn't realize tournaments fee's were not considered revenue.

Royal Vegas has a thing the call "Rounders SitnGos" or something like that which are exactly like Party's steps tournaments. I think they pay for tournament fees.

As far as I know, Party pays for tournament revenue(entry fee). Id be interested to know who told you different.

My affiliate manager told me. I had a month when I generated next to no revenue even though I had a player who I knew was playing an average of about 2 SNGs a day.

I know I get money from Sit N Gos.

I know cause when my friend has me as his only sign up and he gets 20 cents everytime I play a $10 + 1 SNG.

I know I get rakeback on SnGs. I also know I my subs are heavy SnGers who generate some nice revenue for me. Maybe the class SnGs differently than tournaments. This quote was from the Affiliate Accounts Team. Maybe I just do a test this weekend. I can have one of my sub play a few Steps just to see what type of revenue they generate.
