Affiliate Speedpay - It Just Makes Sense

One of my new ventures this year is working with the team at Affiliate Speedpay. I have been given the opportunity to join their team and present Affiliate Speedpay to both poker affiliates as well as poker affiliate programs.

I am extremely excited about this product for many reason. A payment solution in the poker affiliate industry like Affiliate Speedpay is long overdue. It is my goal to make Affiliate Speedpay the standard for affiliate payments in our industry. There is really no reason for a poker affiliate program to NOT utilize this product.

If all the affiliate departments would adapt and begin using Affiliate Speedpay as their main payment processing method, it will seriously raise the bar on the level of professionalism in our industry. As poker affiliates, we are business people and that's how we should be treated by our partners. There is no reason that we should have to be paid our commissions into players accounts. I know from personal expereince as a U.S. affiliate, it has become a headache each month trying to actually get my commissions into my bank account.

Many sites take weeks to send my checks after I request them. One room I get a check from, but then have to wait an additional couple weeks for the check to clear since it is drawn from a bank in London. Then there's another room that has owed me money for a long time but claims to not have a way to pay me. Collecting commissions from our partners should not be a difficult task.

Affiliate Speedpay can alleviate these issues for the entire industry.

With Affiliate Speedpay, each affiliate receives their own personal bank account through FBME bank. This is a legitimate non U.S. bank account that you can also wire money in and out of. Each affiliate also receives a debit card that can be used throughout the world at any ATM machine with a $10,000 per day withdrawal limit. This means affiliates can finally access their payments the same day they are made.


The fees that the affiliate programs will pay to use the service are not going to be any more than they are already paying to send us checks via couriers after cashing out from our players accounts.


There is no question amongst affiliates that this is an awesome solution for us. WE however need to be the ones driving this change in the industry. Poker affiliate programs have no reason to change when they are currently paying us into players accounts and recirculating our earnings into rake. I encourage any of you who see the value in ASP and would like to see this in our industry to email your affiliate managers. Send a quick email and simply ask them to look into the product.


Don't worry, I will be hard at work over the next few months working for all of us trying to get the rooms on board. By sending your AM's an email or simply speaking with them about ASP, you will not only help me, but the entire industry. For any affiliate managers reading this, you can email me at jeremy AT pokeraffiliateprograms.com if you would like more information regarding Affiliate Speedpay.

    Thanks for answering some of the questions ASP.

    Will there be an affiliate program for ASP?

    I'm definitely going to sign up and right a review on the process and what I think of it.

    I don't think an affiliate program is in the cards right now. However as the popularity grows, many affiliates will be searching for various speedpay searches in Google.

    You could probably grab some sub-affiliate sign ups by writing a decent review and ranking for these terms. Both PAP and this blog get SERP traffic for speedpay terms.

    Yeah perfect. Thanks for the heads up.

    So in the future, when ASP is pulling a lot of weight, you can see the need for an affiliate program?

    <p>Yes certainly an affiliate program could be introduced, it would just be tough deciding how to pay when bringing in affiliates. Plus the rooms will be doing this anyways.</p>
    <p>As people have mentioned they want the fees to be low for transferring for money, so that would not leave a lot for affiliates.</p>
    <p>Now, If you would be interested in referring operators to us, I would rather structure that as a business deal and pay you accordingly.</p>

    Thanks for the answers.

    I'm surprised how many people think the fees are to high! Maybe its because I have a banking background or I'm use to the fees that Sportsbooks charge for transactions. But really, I don't think the fees are anything to complain about!

    I think speedpay is a great solution. The problem is that many people in the U.S. are used to doing their banking at the corner Chase Bank or Bank of America and have never banked Internationally or movedmoney International.

    I doubt you will hear any of the bigger affiliates complaining about even having to pay $6 to get 10 $100 bills from an ATM machine the same day they are paid. I have been banking internationally for 2 years now, and the fees some people are complaining about are actually quite reasonable.


    It kind of shocks me too that some affiliates are complaining over nickels and dimes considering how much money we make compared to other affiliate industries.

    If an extra $5 or $10 a month to get your money faster is too much, the don't sign up for Speedpay. For me though, it is worth it.

    I wanted to respond to Aden about having “2 debit cards per account? “or whether “ASP account to ASP account transfers allowed?”

    ASP is currently working on new exciting features which will be made available over the coming months and we are currently looking into this idea.

    We will keep you posted, thanks for the great feedback.

    I am looking forward to their booth at CAP Euro. To be honest, I am stil holding off on investigating into it further until I know more programs are on board, but cap euro will give me a chance to learn a bit more about it.

    Thanks for the reply ASP. Will look forward to the new features.

    Yeah I would also be looking forward to the ASP booth if I was going Graham. The Lamborghini and those couple of hot chicks will be awesome.

    I signed up for ASP today because I cant wait the two weeks for a poker room to process payment and for me to receive it through the mail, than add the additional 30 day hold my bank places on all cheques that are from the US or abroad.

    What makes it a little more comforting was to see a customer service center located in Canada...just a couple hours from me..
