Affiliate Program Review

Cake Poker is one of the most unique programs for both affiliates and players. The poker room launched in mid 2006 and took a distinct approach allowing players to contribute feedback as to what they would like to see within the room. Over the course of their start up year, the company used this feedback and built a room that offers something above the fold in terms of bonuses and incentives, which is why you will find this room converts well especially among US players.

Since their official release, Cake Poker is fast becoming one of the leaders in the industry for player retention and much of this can be attributed to their incentive driven program. The Cake Network provides players with a great sign up bonus along with player reward programs that reward players not only in comp points but by playing real money games. They feature an in house gift shop, seats to live events and a growing tournament schedule.

The Cake Network is all about rewards for both players and affiliates. This was seen recently when the company sent out real cakes to players to thank them for playing in the poker room along with gifts such as iPods for affiliates during the holiday season. Currently they are running a great promotion where one affiliate will win an all expense paid trip to the Formula 1 Nascar race. This trip includes seats for two and all you need to do is increase your NGR over the course of three months. The contest is open from February 1^st – April 30^th and it’s available for all affiliates. The contest is based on your performance so you are only competing with yourself allowing even the newest affiliate a chance to win the trip.

In addition to this, Cake Poker and Poker Affiliate Programs are offering an incredible promotion. One lucky affiliate will win a once in a life time trip to the Playboy Mansion to play in the Playboy Celebrity Poker tournament and party with the celebrities and of course Hugh Hefner and his girls. To enter this contest you will need to be a new Cake Poker affiliate and send five depositing players between now and May 17^th to qualify. You will then be awarded an entry ticket to an exclusive freeroll where they will be giving away this amazing trip.

Once you join the Cake team you will be provided with a host of marketing tools to help increase your conversions. All of these items can be found in the affiliate manager and include such things as a variety in banners, text links, offline tools and the ability to create your own tournaments for your players. The backend is very detailed and one of the better designed programs. Each of the reports generated is available with full details of your players, starting with a summary which shows you your signups and click through rates for the month including any monies earned. You will know exactly when your players signed up, under what username, deposits, withdrawals, and of course any and all bonuses that may have been cleared by that player. You will also receive the support from dedicated Affiliate Managers such as Shenaz, who is the affiliate manager for PAP. She has plenty of experience within the industry and is well known for working withaffiliates hands on.

Commission Plan for Affiliates

Cake Poker provides a competitive commission structure starting all affiliates at the base model of 25% up to 35%, based on your total rake over a one month calendar period. At this time, Cake Poker does not offer a CPA or Hybrid Plan. All affiliate earnings are paid out monthly and there is no requirement as to how much you need to earn before you can receive a withdrawal. You will never need to worry about when you will receive your earnings since Cake Poker pays at the beginning of every month and is always on time.
