Affiliate Program Review

Chan Poker is a new room released in mid 2007 and offers a top level affiliate program. The poker room is on the OnGame Network which means they do not accept US players. The company has developed a strong rapport among affiliates for providing a great brand, dedicated affiliate department, competitive commissions and above all else prompt payments.

Chan Poker’s affiliate manager is Brandon Berndt who is among one of the few managers who is very vocal in the PAP forums, not only for Chan Poker but for the community as well. He has a solid background in affiliate marketing which makes his previous experience as an affiliate an asset to the company. What makes Chan Poker affiliate program stand out is their approach to working as a team with the affiliates.
Once you join the Chan Network you will have access to a variety of adverts to promote on your websites. These include banners, text links, custom bonus codes, and soon to be released custom splash pages. Brandon is always striving to create these little extras to increase your conversions.

In combination with the marketing tools you will be provided with, the Chan Poker Affiliate Program features a complete backend for affiliates to track their campaigns. This allows you to view your total click through, registered players and real money players along with your total MGR. The stats are updated daily and you can also use the reports feature which will let you run an updated report.
Chan Poker affiliates will be paid monthly within 15 days of the end of the calendar month. Typically they are one of the first affiliate programs to process payments in or around the 1st of the month.

Once you have signed up you will have the choice between two very competitive commission models. One is for affiliates who are looking for long term growth and building their players. The MGR plan starts at a flat rate of 25% with an increase up to 40% based on your total net rake during the previous month.
The CPA plan gives you a onetime payment per qualified referral and depending on the number of players you are able to send each month you can receive up to $150 per player. The base amount starts at $75 for 1-10 players with an increase of $100 per player up to 15 players. From there you can receive $125/player up to 20 players and $150 for 20+ players.
