Alternative Merge Skin to Replace Aced?

[stillshadow]

I'd prefer not to waste the extensive review that I dedicated to Aced. Regardless of what Merge may do for our existing players and/or if they try to continue the affiliate program I just don't have any trust in the brand anymore. Obviously, there will also be some downtime between them shutting down the existing program and starting up a new one.

Does anyone have any positive experiences with some of the lesser-known Merge skins that they care to share? We sure don't have much time to switch over our links thanks to the considerate 7 day window that Aced provided before we give them free traffic.

I already promote the bigger skins (all 3 of the Sportsbook brands, which have been excellent for me, PDC, and Carbon) on a higher level so any other recommendations would be a help. Thanks, guys.

You could consider another sportsbook like oddsmaker or something like that, Reefer seems legit if the branding niche works for you - I would avoid all the new startups like the plague given Aced/RPM failures.

I would say Gr88 << aff link they have Colin as there affiliate manager great to work with. Nice clean modern looking site to.

Pokernordica have always been nice to me (offered private freerolls and bonus deals), and paid me on time. This site have been around for 4-5 years now and is operating from Malta. Their aff-program is PartnerNordica --> aff-link

Another interesting site is Feltstars. They have now also a casino and sportsbook on their site. But their new so a bit risky (Aced/RPM mode on)...Have not signed up yet to promote them, but their design on the homepage is good.

365bonitas might be another good one for the spanish market I hear. Again, is a new site, so risky!

As far as ones worth considering: I've heard good things about PokerNorida, I've also seen some people promote Reefer Poker which I think is a merge skin, but that one might look odd on many portals and i don't know much about them first hand.

The only one on my avoid list is Iron Duke.

Really though if you're having success with the big brands why delude it? Carbon seems to be really busting their ass and sportsbook has always had great affiliate support. Of course you might have a reason too, just my suggestion would be funnel ace traffic to the main sites. Seriously I'm really impressed with Carbon lately but am still watching from the sidelines.

You don't need to let it go to waste, I am hoping to have the new system up very quickly. We got the DB dump last night and now got it in a readable format.
It looks like we will be able to keep the tracking links the same as well.

Soon as I have more info will let you know.

I have had great success with Canbet Poker.

I used to really like Canbet as a player and tried to push them as an affiliate. No luck for me, one of the few books where all my players won - and they won big at that.

Canbet is Merge? I see Microgaming...

[pokerprop]

I thought the same thing but know Canbet sold a year ago. I went to their site didn't see a Microgaming logo (which most Microgaming poker rooms have) and seen their Kahnawake Gaming Commission reference in their footer and figured OK they must of moved.

Now that you mentioned it went to Merge's site and don't see them listed.
