Offering an extra bonus

[kaus]

Is it ok to offer members an extra cash bonus, so long as they download from your site and become a RMP? Or can this be classified as a scam tactic with the poker rooms. The reason I ask is I have seen it alot yet to me it still seems very odd that people would do this and not really know what thier return is going to be. Yet on the other hand I am thinking it will become an incentive for those to deposit seeing as its not like they will have a diffcult time reaching the bonus. Has anyone tried this and how did it work for you? Did you lose out and do the poker rooms see this as poor conduct?

...and they can revoke your affiliate status if you do such tactics.

Ty for replying I have seen alot of these "gimmicks" I had even recieved one once and always wondered why people give money away and how can they. So I thought I would ask first before I made any major mistakes. If that is the case than how do some of these sites do it and get away with it, do reps not check in from time to time

If you're sending 500 RMP that deposit and stick around and play every month your AM is most lickly turning the other check and prenteding not to see what's going on. On the other hand if you send 5 players a month then you may have a problem doing this. Or if you are spamming like a lot of these types of deals are offered you are in violation.

I'm not saying it's ok to do I'm saying this is what hapens in the real world...

Some rooms allow you to offer incentives for playing and it will not go against the terms to do this.

Not sure I know those rooms so I won't list them or anything.

The best thing to do is ask your AM if you can offer something. Then you will know what you are doing is legit.

Thank you for the advice...I thought I would ask instead of doing it. You guys are a big help. I had seen this done and now understand a little more on the other end of it. I recieved one of these "bonuses" which to be honest was free money I had to earn xxxx points and would recieve another amount of money(which never actually happened) and than I could move onto the next sites and do the same thing over again.I have seen ALOT of people take this offer (talking a few hundred) I always wondered why these would be offered especially the no deposit bonuses when its not guaranteed to the person offering them if the player is going to stick around and make them money until I looked the rake I contributed. Most of the games I played were $20 SnG and multiply that by a dozen or so than add in the ring games it worked out they only lost $5 on thier inital investment on me. So I assumed that this was of a normal promo throughout the affilaites. Thank you very much helping me before I ended up making a mistake.
