RPM Poker

[PTC]

I have been owed payments from a hybrid deal for several months. I can't get an answer back to any emails. If any AMs would like my rerouted RPM traffic, it's all yours because Im leaving up my pages that are ranking for RPM terms and rerouting the traffic.

Contact seth[at]rpmpoker.com he should sort it out for you.

While they are not replying to you, it's not for lack of time on their ends. As you can see I had similar issues. (Note they were recruiting me even though I spent two months TRYING to work with them already to no avail).

Hi Mike,

I'm Seth from RPM Poker. I'd love to speak with you about offering rakeback to your users. We're on the Merge Network, we're the only Merge skin with sponsored pros (21 players), and we're investing heavily in the online community. I think we could both benefit from a partnership, and I'd look forward to speaking with you about it.

Best,
Seth

Hi Seth, sorry for delayed reply. There is not a chance I would work with your company at this point, I tried at one point in the past and nobody ever responded to support inquiries plus you blew me off when I took the extra effort to contact you at 2p2 about working together (when nobody at rpmaffiliates would reply).

I don't work with companies that can't communicate, period. Good luck with other affiliates though.

Hi Mike,

Firstly, let me apologize for the lack of communication in the past. We have had that kind of feedback from a fair number of affiliates and have since released and re-hired a new affiliate team.

What was your name on 2+2? I can't recall ever speaking with an affiliate through the message boards.

Best,
Seth

I give anyone the benefit of the doubt but I think it's safe to say communication is a general problem for them, and I personally will stay away until it's fixed since there is no shortage of Merge skins to work with. No offense to anyone personally, that's just how I'm doing business in 2010.

In all fairness it also sounds like they acknowledge the problem, and at least claim to want to work on it. It will be interesting to hear if your missing payments come through because THAT is a deal breaker.

So what are the best merge network sites? I guess I should be advertising at least one USA network site, however at least in the cake network most of the sites are either paying shitty MGR or otherwise suck.
FWIW: I'm trying to stay away from carbon poker because it is advertised by most sites and Aced because it is advertised by most PAL affiliates.
I used to advertise IronDuke however it was a huge pain in the ass to advertise them when the affiliate manager wasn't able to answer the Q's on MSN.

Thanks for the input guys but I have no interest in working with this company. They made a deal, they are not honoring it... what reason would I have to think they would honor any deal in the future.

There are none. I've promoted them heavily the last 6 months and they have the worst player retention I have found anywhere.

Try Toby Ody at Spin32 Poker or John McNally at BigBet Poker.
Both are top notch guys.

this post was a little rude and needed to be edited anyway, but the thread got bumped and seth has paid me the money owed.

[MJ]

Fwiw, he sent me a message last week asking me to remove his personal name from the email I posted, which was totally fair and I was happy to do.

I did it, and replied back with a link to this thread figuring there was two sides to every story so I guess it's safe to say they have seen the thread and don't care to reply.

Hopefully they will though.
