easy to send new players,hard to get paid for them

[chrisgo88]

I like the room and i must say that mark is doing his job very well and answers all questions very fast.

I think its very easy to find new players for signin up there because they offers good Bonus and the 10 K Freeroll is a very special offer......

but many new players told me that it is very hard to collect the 100 MPP`S to qualify for the freeroll

So surely its much harder for them to cellect 500 MPP`S which was needed for us to get the CPA

They only get 1 Point if the Pot is 20$ or higher !

And normally (i am new but i think its right) new players first play at low limit tables when trying out a new room

One Player told me that he deposit 75 Euro and played many hours (over 1000 Raked hands and only collect 60 MPP`S !)

In the last two weeks i know that more than 40 new Players signed up and deposit there by using my trackers and i think noone will reach the 500 MPP`s cause they all told me its very hard to get 100 MPP.

The new Players sign up because they want to play the 10K freeroll and than they see that they have to pay a lot of money for reaching the 100 MPP`S and they don`t like this

at the end the Players are unhappy cause they don`t reach the MPP`s and I am unhappy cause i don`t see any money for sending you the new Players and that`s surely not good for my site

I`m very interested what other affiliates think about this

And mark i Think you have to change something if you want the affiliates to send you more Players-i prefer to send the players to sites where its easyer to get paid for them

For Example FullTilt runs e Weekly Freeroll of 5000 $ for all new Players who made a deposit !

I am sure i made many mistakes by writing here but i`m german and i hope you all understand what i mean

The problem, in my opinion, is not the fact that you get 1 PP for every $1 on the rake. If you consider that you get one bonus dollar for every 5 PP, the situation is similar to other rooms, with different "currencies" of points.

For example: in Titan you need 80 points per bonus dollar, but you get the points faster.

The problem with Sun Poker, in my opinion, is that you only get any points if the rake is above $0.25 (you get 0.25 points). In micro limits, new players will rarely get the points. Specially if they play limit holdem.

From Suns point of view I understand why they have the rules. There are no point of trying really hard to get the players that have very low value.

I play at Sun myself and I have no problem getting about 1000 points or so. I play 1/2 fixed limit 7 card stud and somewhat limit holdem and also Omaha H/L PL.

I know I contribute a lot of rake, but with rakeback and bonus I get a lot back.

Actually we only have one real player that way in our account and he/she got tired after a couple of months.

I think it is a bit strange since this bonus and rakeback should really attract decent players. But I guess that the traffic is to small so they have trouble finding decent tables.

If you are on a CPA I can see that this is a big problem.

And I agree that the scale of Points are not the best, becuase it makes it a bit difficult to compare to other sites and also for players just starting out hard to collect.
