incentive sites and sub affiliate ID reporting

halcyoncash · #1 12-18-2006, 03:36 PM

hi,
I just registered as an PAW affiliate, I was wondering if you accept incentive sites into your affiliate program, and if so do you have sub affiliate id reporting so that I will be able to recognize which of my website members completed what offers?

Hi,

you are not signed up as subaffiliate. The trackers you could request from PAW is from the special PAW regular affiliates accounts.

As there were some request about some data about the players, I can tell that Purple Lounge, Titan, Mansion provides some data about the signed players. So drop me an email when you'll need to check someone.

We will be adding terms and conditions this week for each room. In respect to incentive marketing, the easy answer is it depends. Historically though the player values don't add up to the the CPA.

Are the terms and conditions for incentive sites for each casino mentioned in the "Current Deals and Promotions" section in the PAW backend area? When I original asked about incentive sites you never said you had anything against them, I hope this hasnt changed. Please clarify all of this for me.

There seems to be a lot of questions about incentive sites. I can't tell anyone how to run their business. I can tell you though that the PAW program and pretty much every reputable affiliate program in the industry will not continue paying CPA's to incentive marketers whose player value sucks.

It's simple math. If your players all average 1 deposit followed by $12 in rake so they can get their chip sets or whatever before they move on to the next site..............How does that make business sense for us to continue paying $100 - $200 CPA's on this type of player? These players are for lack of better words, bonus whores. They are using you to get a free gift, and the affiliate is using us to fund it.

The player is happy, the affiliate made great money, and at then end of the day, the card room just got raped as most of these players will never deposit again or play anywhere close to the amount that was paid out in CPA.

If someone can give me a logical response on why it would make sense for an affiliate program to continue shelling out large CPA's to this type of business model I am all ears. If your overall player value is decent however I have no problems with incentive sites.

I have a request for Marius regarding incentive sites with the PAW network. Can you please email me the trackers of the sites that you have marked as incentive sites please?

Thank you,

Mark

Incentive sites? Seriously??

I can't imagine an incentive that a single affiliate can offer that will be more effective than freerolls with prize pools ranging from $500 to $10k+ live event packages.

There is no need for incentives in the PAW network. The point is we are able to promote these proven converters like these special freerolls, and if we were promoting ourselves most would not have the resources to organize them. That is one of the great things about it.
