Affiliate FAQ

Full Tilt Poker is the world's strongest poker brand, and one of the fastest growing poker rooms on the Internet. You can use the marketing power of the most impressive line-up of celebrity poker professionals any poker site can offer. Plus, you get the integrity and excellence that those pros bring to FullTiltPoker.com. They don't just endorse the site -- they helped design the software, and they play on the site every day. The close relationship our pros have with the site will result in some of the most loyal customers in the business. This means more money to you.

You will have immediate access to the Affiliate Center where you will find our Marketing Tools. In no time you can be earning thousands of dollars every month. We look forward to working with you.

We reserve the right to refuse any site that contains objectionable material, including pornography, explicit language, or contains content that infringes on our intellectual property.

There are two payment plan options. Please choose carefully, you may not switch payment plans after registering.

• Option A - CPA "Cost Per Acquisition Plan"
  Collect a one-time cash payment for each new, real-money sign-up, plus incentive bonuses for each player who continues playing on our site.
• Option B - PRP "Percentage Revenue Plan"
  Earn a percentage of the net lifetime revenue of each new player you bring to FullTiltPoker.com.

Each time a new player makes a deposit (minimum $50) and accumulates 100 Full Tilt Points (FTPs), they become a qualified referral. (For reference, 100 FTPs can be earned in as little as 1 hour of play). Your first 10 qualified referrals every calendar month net you $75 each, and additional players can earn you as much as $200 each. You will also earn a $15 bonus for each player who reaches 200 Full Tilt Points. The table below shows the payouts for each referral level.

	Cost Per Acquisition
	number of qualified referrals per month (100 + FTPS)	Payout per player	bonus per player (200+ftps)	maximum per player
	1-10	$75	$15	$90
	11-25	$100	$15	$115
	26-50	$125	$15	$140
	51-150	$150	$15	$165
	150+	$200	$15	$215

Real Money Players are defined as persons who make the minimum required deposit within 60 days of opening the Account.

You earn a percentage of the net lifetime revenue from each new player you sign-up. You earn 20% of their monthly revenue up to $10,000. If their monthly revenue is over $10,000, you’ll earn additional percentages of their revenue, up to 35%. The table below shows the payouts for each referral level.

	percentage revenue plan (prp)
	monthly net revenue from your players	your percentage
	$1 - $10,000	20%
	$10,001 - $25,000	25%
	$25,001 - $50,000	30%
	$50,000+	35%

Example: In one month your players bring in $55,000 in revenue. You will receive the following: 20% of the first $10,000 = $2000 25% of the amount from $10,001 to $25,000 = $3750 30% of the amount from $25,001 to $50,000 = $7500 35% of the amount over $50,001 = $1750 Total Commission: $2000 + $3750 + $7500 + $1750 = $15,000

A player's revenue equals their total contribution to the rake, and their total contribution to tournament fees while playing at FullTiltPoker.com, minus any credits, bonuses paid, FTP costs, charge backs, or costs directly attributable to the player. See the Affiliate Agreement for more details.

A Sub-Affiliate is a person you recommend and register as a Full Tilt Poker Affiliate. As your Sub-Affiliates start promoting our brand and referring new real money players, you will start earning additional revenue.  Sub-affiliates receive the same benefits as normal affiliates, and you get a commission for being the one who referred them. 

Current Payment Plan for Sub-Affiliates: 20% of All Direct Sub-Affiliate Revenue.

There are two easy ways to register a Full Tilt Poker sub-affiliate. Click on the sub-affiliate link in the Affiliate Center and choose either our sub-affiliate banner to have your sub-affiliates tracked to you efficiently and automatically, or use the email invitation to recruit friends and fellow webmasters.

No. If your Sub-Affiliate (A) starts his or her own Sub-Affiliate network by registering another Sub-Affiliate (B), you will not be eligible to earn any revenue from B's referred players. We only operate a single-tier Sub-Affiliate program.

Payments are deposited into your Affiliate account by the 15th of each month for the previous month’s activity. Once deposited, you will receive an email notification, and you may withdraw these funds to your Full Tilt Poker player account. If you do not currently have a Full Tilt Poker player account, please download the software and create an account.

A tracking code is a URL to a specific web address that we use to track your sign-ups. We will provide you a tracking code automatically after you complete registration. You can view your tracking code once you log into the Affiliate Center. It will look something like: http://www.FullTiltPoker.com/?key=ASDFSUEJSUDJWKDWIEKSLEMdW- .

Once you are a registered Full Tilt Poker Affiliate, you can create as many individual Tracker IDs online as necessary. This can be helpful to track the success of different marketing campaigns. To create a new tracker, go to My Affiliate Profile and click Tracking Codes.

A referral code is a unique offline code that we use to track your players. Full Tilt Poker uses referral codes to track real money players that sign up as a result of your offline marketing efforts. You can choose a referral code that is up to 15 characters or numbers. A code might look like "4FreeMug" or "BeatThePros" depending on how you are marketing to your potential players. Codes are not case sensitive.

When a player signs-up, there is a clearly marked field where the player can enter a referral code. As soon as your referral code is entered, the player is tagged to your Affiliate account. If the player doesn't arrive from a tracking URL or website, then you will only get credit for that player if they enter your referral code. Make sure to give them a reason to enter your referral code. 

You are limited to one unique offline referral code upon registration. However, if you would like additional codes, please contact us at affiliates@fulltiltpoker.com and we will assist you.
