PKR Affiliate Question

[Ridge]

So I have an affiliate account I bought for PKR - It has players and makes money. Last month it made 450ish, and I went to cashout (they put it in my player account) and I could not. I'm in the US so no big surprise there.

So I emailed the AM and she told me you have to have 1k before you can cashout? Is this normal?

I was wondering maybe you can do transfer to another affiliate and swap?

Being a Us guy, I don't know much about PKR, but I am able to play , play money and it all seems cool. I also bought a PKR site and we are starting to work on pushing them hard, so overall it seems like a great program, dos everyone else like PKR?

Anyway, the 1k thing isn't a huge deal I was just curious mainly. How is conversions and stuff there generally? Any hot PKR countries?

Not a great response, but none the less here is a small thread about pkr from 2 weeks ago - PKR tournaments

I like PKR. I've never heard of the $1K rule before though. I always wait for $1k though just because the cheque is express over $1K whereas it's regular mail under $1k.

They convert ok for me. France seems to be where most of my players come from. $1K is normal for US affiliates.

PKR are still a good program - but not as good as they were before the introduced the NetRefer technology.

Yes, there were an awful lot of problems with integration (which I'm still not sure have all been ironed out), but for some reason the excellent communication which PKR used to have with their affiliates totally dried up too.

I still push them, just not quite as hard as I used to.

I got my my first payment from PKR Last month - about $200 (Im Canadian) and I withdrew it electronically from my player account and it went through. This month though i noticed that my affiliate payment has not yet gone into my player account. Just wondering if its supposed to be a 1K minimum for checks or for US affiliates or all affiliates? Thanks

Hi Guys

Thanks for your comments and for sharing your concerns.

Due to repercussions of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in the US it is very difficult for us to pay US based affiliates and thus we are limiting the amount of US affiliates we accept into the PKR affiliate program. The only way that we can pay the few US affiliates that we have is via wire transfer when your commission exceeds $1000. We personally email each US affiliate that we accept into the affiliate program to make them aware of this. Ridge, apologies if you did not get that message but with your current commission we should be able to pay you out every two months or so. Please contact us directly if you experience any problems as we do not always get made aware of these threads.

For the questions about our retention and conversions; players do tend to have a longer lifespan at PKR due to our unique graphics that is always being improved and new features are added that keeps players interested. We have also been the fastest growing online poker room by acquiring over 3 million players in the 3 years that we have been running, and we are still growing rapidly everyday
I am also happy to make you aware that the new affiliate system is now fully functional. We’ll be still be adding further improvements over the coming months like new marketing tools but for the rest of it, all the initial teething problems has been ironed out. We still send out our monthly newsletters and we have started communicating more with our affiliates over Twitter so please do follow us on there for the latest developments. If you still feel that this is not enough we will be happy to increase our communication to affiliates, please email your suggestions to us, we will be happy to consider it.
Rucuz, please email your username to me directly so that I can look into your commission payment and sort it out.
