Need help with a idea

Thanks in advance.
I am building a new site and I am going to promote 5 poker rooms, I do not know which ones yet.

I will be giving away a product and a service for playing so many hands.
Which Poker rooms offer the best tracking so I can keep track of my players?

I've had good success with Paradise Poker with something similar. Stephen is good to work with as usual. Only issue i've had is that some of the players claim that they have played more raked hands than shown on the affiliate report... You will have to explain to them exactly what constitutes a 'qualifying raked hand' to your promotion. We had one guy get pretty upset when we told him that he still needed to play more raked hands to qualify, as I believe he had busted out before reaching his requirement. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Thanks Mr Kick ass :lol:
Paradise is the only room I promote right now and Stephen is a true professional.
I have had problems with there tracking though.

Also the second part of my request is has anybody here ever worked with
Commission Junction?
The product I ampromoting is run thru them.
Again Thanks

ya i had that problem to with paradise. They only count hands that you actually put money into as hands, I had a big player leave because of that

As long as you're making sales/conversions with Commission Junction, they're fine.

Otherwise, they'll cancel your account without any warning whatsoever, no email nuthin' & leave you advertising for free!

Gumbajohnny,

We work with a number of affiliates whom do the exact same thing you are proposing to do. Players can now see how many raked hands they have accumulated directly within the software when they log in. This makes it easy for them to keep track.

Let me know if you would be interested and I'd be happy to work with you to set this up.

Thanks,
Mark

I think its 60days?

Its undertandable, no notification ticked me off though.

I just had a banner for some AV software on a old site. It didn't surprise me that it didn't convert, had it on there more as a friendly tip.

They're a good established co. other than that, nice web app too.
