Any way to get old customers to create new accounts with my code?

[thedoubles]

So if I understand correctly...

Someone has an account at PokersiteX, deposits, goes busto, and leaves. Six months later, the bug bites them and they want to play again. They see a great bonus code for PokersiteX (because I posted it on my site), and want to join again so they can use the code.

But if I have this right, they can't create a new account to take advantage of the bonus code offer, because they already have an old account there, and they haven't moved recently, so all their info is the same.

How am I, as a new affiliate, supposed to generate customers and a healthy revshare if someone already has an account there and can't use my links/codes?

Don't target players that already have accounts???

There are lots of rooms existing players can play at... plus there are tons of new players that have never played online poker

So there's no way to get credit for someone reloading?

You get that automaticly if you are on rev share... If someone reloads he rakes again, leaving a % for you.

No and why should you. The affiliate who originally sent that player should get credit and most likely that player already claimed a signup offer. Most rooms offer reload bonuses so its not a huge deal.

The poker rooms arent paying us to recycle the players to them.

I see people posting things like, "I can send PokersiteX 100 players". How do they do that? Haven't their players already registered at all the major sites and thus can't signup anywhere else? What do you do once you have that playerbase? Just send them to new, shady sites because they're the only ones left? Or figure out who hasn't joined PokersiteY and PokersiteZ and send them over there?

There is a lot of ppl that have not played poker yet and new 18 year olds (or whatever age you have to be depending on country) popping up everyday so don't worry about it.

If they're your players to begin with (newsletter subs perhaps) you can entice them with reload bonuses. If they're someone elses player, you're out of luck, intro them to a new room .. or just sell the add space to the rooms.

If they belong to noone, AP held a promo once letting affilaites tag untagged players.. if u asked affiliate managers, who knows if they could let you do this on a personal basis, if enough ppl asked, it could become the norm.

Another example where this situation crops up alot is when a player is signed up to a site, ( not through an affiliate ), and then wants to sign up through an affiliate to earn rakeback, but continue playing at the same site. I'm far too new to know if this problem is solveable.
