Bodog

I don't think so.

I met with Bodog in Amsterdam and I can probably get affiliates on our network trackers that have legitimate sites and are proven performers with us already. In other words this is not for new members of the network, and I need to know that you send quality players to other sites with us.

This will be on a case by case basis however and I can't make any guaruntees as Bodog will need to approve you as well.....good news is that we have deep contacts there.

I wouldnt put much weight on the reviews on pokernews (no offense Jeremy), about a month ago I was using them as a guide while writing some reviews and some the info was very aged (pre-UIGEA). It might have been updated since though.

Thanks I'll let the writers who do our reviews know. Not really sure what that has to do however with getting trackers to members on our network though, nonetheless thanks for the heads up.

Seeing as I can not open anaccount myself I couldnt even tell you what the site looks like so it is making it difficult to describe something you have never seen. Yes, I did search the net but from what I have been reading alot of people need to update their reviews not just bonus codes lol

I know payment options are always changing and I even went to Pokernews for this info...are there any other payment options besides

Check / eChecks, Nucharge, Credit Cards, Wire Transfer, Western Union, Click2pay and eWalletXpress

....and are all these methods still accurate? This to was not found on the Bodog website and I can not get into my affiliate information as of yet.

Thank you, and sorry for all the basic questions I am just having some diffiulty with this one and I would rather get it right than have someone tell me I stretched the truth.

hehe, I wasnt picking on pokernews for no reason...I auctually love the site. I just wanted to let her know she should double check the info, its horrible finishing a page and realizing you have bad info.

You should be doing your reviews by actually reviewing the sites anyways.

If you're lucky enough to get signed up with Bodog they are beyond awesome. They've done and worked with me more than any other site out there 10 fold. If you get Pete, one of the AM's over there, he is the man! Its worth the wait and to keep persuing trying to be able to promote them.

Just wanted to take this up again. I have applied to Bodog one time before and now trying again, as many of our websites that have our freeroll monitor, would like Bodog added.

However, I applied again, got an answer where they requested further info about my site. I answered the best I could, but have heard nothing since june 19th.

Can someone help me speed up things? :-)

Man, Bodogs affiliate program is a pain right now, its so hard to even get accepted, there revenue share is relatively low, and also, the whole "have to make a deposit within the same month as sign-up thing." I wish more affiliate programs would be like PDC. If sent several unanswered emails to Bodog, there phone service is good, but e-mail sucks. You are offering a pretty good service, I'm surprised at how reluctant Bodog is about everything. Does anyone have some info on Why Bodog is so reluctant about working with people?

Several reasons:

Bodog does not want everyone becoming an affiliate so they can get rakeback under their own account.

They prefer to just work with affiliates who will send them good players. Bodog is a top tier sportbook catering to losing players. They don't like winners at all. Poker is a good part of their business but I suspect bodog would do just fine without. Their affiliate stance are not much different than similar structured sportsbooks that have limit collars, do not welcome professional action, discourage bonus whoring. They go the extra mile to make sure people have great support while losing their money.

yeah i agree with alot of that.... they told me they dont want any bonus hunters, no rakeback which in turn should limit the sharks they get as they belive the big sharks that generate loads of rake a month, do more harm then good and overall it generates them less rake.

they have a small affiliate team with a personal attention to their affiliates and as 10% of the affiliate generate 90% of the players, they would rather focus on the 10% and not bother with the rest.


also the deposit in the same month thing shouldnt really apply to many as if you are at bodog you for sure should opt for rev share by miles and miles.....
