Starting a private online game

[Promote_u]

Hello everyone,

Just thinking of some great ideas for this much overlooked affiliate idea that goes with my out of the box mentality. If some of the senior members/affliates could share some of your failures, it would be highly appreciated. I am excellent with brick and mortar style marketing and using my clients funds for the web based ideas we come up with. I would like some ideas to get my affiliate site up and running with an online site and how to get private games started on Party Poker, both live play and tournaments. Will they let me set up a private tournament? I called and talked to a few of my poker friens and they are extremely interested in playing and joining. I am not sure what I need to do to be able to open a live private game and tournament. Any ideas and suggestions, I am open! : )

Thanks,

Patrick

As far as I know, Party/Empire don't offer this, I've tried many times to get private freerolls arranged there and they keep rejecting the idea. If anyone has had success at this, please let me know.

I tried for months to get Party to do the same. I had to change gears and start promoting other sites that offer this for their affiliates. I've had the most success with Noble poker. They offer any above average affiliate access to freerolls. They even add money to the freerolls.

I created a few leagues based out of noble. I have required a signup and a deposit to join the league. I have found my players tend to play very little poker at Noble, so 1/2 way through I switched up to a very nice CPA plan. Once Noble gets a little bigger and has a few more games to choose from, I'll change back to MGR. Noble is great for a freeroll league because they only require 20 dollar deposit for their CPA plan. Its a small enough amount that most people dont hesitate.

My leagues are all made up of niche players. I have one league from an online forum, another from a local college, another from a local golf association. I use the same content on all the sites which makes updates easy. I offer pretty nice prizes for first place which has really helped signups.

I dont schedule weekly cash games, but the players request them once or twice a month.
