Bonus Codes or no Bonus Codes

[Daver88]

I have seen many sites that offer the $25 deposit offer and the 20% up to $100 deposit offer, but they all seem to use bonus codes. I was working on my site and setting up a couple of banners for partypoker and it seems like the bonus codes aren't necissary. I believe I'm able to link the banners directly to my tracker number and the bonuses should take effect. Is this right?

I ask because I'm a newbie when it comes to the partypoker offers, and everywhere else I see these offers, they use bonus codes.

To sum up, is it possible to use partypokers bonus offers without using bonus codes? Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

To answer your question, yes it is possible to use partypoker bonus offers without bonus codes.

Here's the deal with that, though. To me, it's psychological. Let's say someone clicks on your link, downloads the software and then, as they are registering, the software prompts them for a bonus code. They go to google and type in party poker bonus code and come up with some other guy's site and enter in his bonus code.

What happens to your commission?

I'm not sure, but I wouldn't take any chances. Would you?

Suppose the guy with the bonus code site is really smart and makes it clear to YOUR sign-up that they must clear their cookies and re-download the software in order to get his bonus (which is true) and YOUR sign-up does this. I know for a fact that you lose your commission in that case.

So, to sum up my answer, while it is true you can offer this without bonus codes, is it really worth it to not have your own bonus codes. Besides, maybe one day you strike up a conversation with someone in a bar or the mall or a game, you could just slip in your bonus code into the conversation
