Offline Promotions / College Campus / Legal Questions

[aj22]

Hi.. new here.. spent the last few days reading many of the posts here.

To the people who target college campuses, do you see a typical conversion ratio per flyer? 1 signup per 150 flyers? 1:250?

I live on campus right now, so I was planning on printing out a thousand or so half page flyers and sliding them under the doors in all the guys hallways on campus.

Now, is there anything illegal about passing around flyers saying "Make a $50 deposit using this promo code" etc

As far as I know the US has not banned online poker yet..

Thanks!

Hey AJ welcome,

In general what most affiliates can expect is about a 1% average for depositing players. So it's 10:1000 if you pass out 1000. Remember that not all 1000 are going to be seen by prospective players. Percentages are going to be thrown away, removed, disrecarded or whatever.

As for the legality of advertising poker sites. In the US it is illegal to advertise gambling websites. I am certain most all college campuses also have their own guidelines that will not allow this too.

There for you just can't get caught. As long as you're not going overboard and covering the entire school with flyers, or throwing 20 thousand flyers in the halls and just littering, you should be fine. Look into any local and college campus laws regarding the distribution of flyers. Some cities allow you to place flyers on vehicle windows and others do not. You don't want to be in the wrong just for the flyers.

I'm not going to say go for it. If you do, understand you can get in trouble. To help cover your ass advertise the .NET website instead of the .COM.

If you do something like this, do it slowly. If you don't draw too much attention to yourself you're more likely to succeed.
