Why Can’t Affiliate Programs be Separate to the Rooms Themselves

[Tom]

I really wish affiliate programs would be separate to the rooms themselves. It would be great to have separate payment processing for affiliates and not be directly linked to the poker sites.

I really do not see why we need to signup as a player to become an affiliate for some sites. Do poker sites pay their employees through the players’ accounts too? Why are affiliates any different? We act like marketing consultants to sites.

Well this is the one thing I would like changed in the gambling affiliate industry and its one of the main reasons I am slowly getting away from the this industry.

I have been saying this for years and years.

My analogy is Walmart staff getting gift cards as their pay.

Stupid.

I think its because theyll have a % of the affiliates just lose the money without cashing out.

With a casino, i get that. With poker sites, not so much.

What's odd is, of all the online casinos we've promoted (granted, we only promote ~15), not one of them pays us to a player account.

What if a new casino and poker platform rises now and does the system you are talking about? Would that be considered the holy grail?
