Why Tell-a-Friend Can Be Better Than Standard Poker Affiliate Models
Find out why the PokerStrategy.com Tell-a-Friend system can actually be a more favourable alternative to a normal poker affiliate advertising model.
If you have a poker blog or website, it makes perfect sense to try and monetise it by including advertising banners for online poker rooms. Most of the time, this is a risk-free pursuit which costs you little more than a bit of time. One of the problems poker affiliates face, however, is that it is an increasingly competitive market.
Whether you are an experienced affiliate, or completely new to it, you may find that the PokerStrategy.com Tell-a-Friend (TaF) scheme makes much more sense to advertise than a standard affiliate system, for the following reasons:
You are advertising a different product
By advertising PokerStrategy.com, you separate yourself from the majority of the competition by advertising our poker school and community, rather than a specific poker room itself. So while your competitors are advertising sign-up bonuses and rakeback, you are promoting training videos, live coaching sessions, and free bankrolls. Most poker players have already heard enough about first deposit bonuses, but what you can offer them is potentially very refreshing.
Promoting PokerStrategy.com is a much better way to convert marginal traffic, ie. players who are unsure whether they want to deposit or not. Because we can offer education, free bankrolls, and community-based promotions, we have the infrastructure to help players who are unsure of whether to try poker to gently ease themselves into the game, and survive long enough to earn you commission.
Better deals for VIPs

| Exclusive VIP events |
One of the reasons why breaking into the affiliate business is tough, is because the guys at the top can offer significantly better deals to players than the ones who are just starting out. Because PokerStrategy.com are the guys at the top, this means the VIP deals you can offer players are going to be the best legal deals in the business.
PokerStrategy.com offers the best bonuses and rakeback deals, rake races, freerolls, VIP events, and much more. Our deals are the best ones at our partners for almost every player, and they can be your deals too.

You retain the player over multiple products
If you refer a player to a poker room, but they withdraw or bust their money before triggering your commission, that usually is also the end of your shot of making any money from them. But with TaF, once a player has signed up through you, he is tracked to you across any further rooms he signs up to via PokerStrategy.com. This means that if he finds his perfect room after the initial one he signed up through, you still get commission for his play on the new room.
This is also true if he elects to purchase one of our status upgrades in the Points Shop.
Safety and integrity

| CEO Dominik Kofert |
There is a lot of uncertainty in the online poker industry at the moment, and many potential new players are reluctant to try poker because they worry it is not safe. When you refer players to PokerStrategy.com, you can assure them that they will be dealing with one of the most trusted names in online poker.

We do all the hard work
Creating content, education material, customer support, enhanced VIP deals, rake races, freerolls, free bankrolls, and more - we take all these things out of your hands and have them waiting for you as soon as you want to start advertising PokerStrategy.com.
Even the process of setting up your affiliate account and creating marketing material is done for you as soon as you create your PokerStrategy.com account. This means you can cut right to the chase and start promoting our deals immediately.
Favourable commission
Perhaps the best reason to choose PokerStrategy.com over a standard affiliate deal is that you stand to make more money from referrals. You can earn up to $500 per player referred, which is significantly larger than any other cost-per-acquisition (CPA) models, which are rarely more than $150 per player maximum (And usually a lot less, or not offered at all).
| Your referred friend earns.... | You earn.... |
| 100 StrategyPoints | $25 |
| 500 StrategyPoints | $25 |
| 2,000 StrategyPoints | $50 |
| 5,000 StrategyPoints | $150 |
| 20,000 StrategyPoints | $250 |
| Total | up to $500 |
How to earn $500 referring friends to PokerStrategy.com
Before you start referring friends, first you must set up your own PokerStrategy.com account with which to create your TaF referral code. Once you have your account set up, you can start sharing your referral link (below) and creating TaF marketing material.
You will receive $25 once a referred player has earned 100 StrategyPoints, up to a maximum of $500 per player when they earn 20,000 StrategyPoints. You will also earn 10% of any future TaF revenue if your friend refers another friend to PokerStrategy.com.
