Summary
PokerRoom is one of the biggest rooms on the OnGame network. OnGame is one of the most popular networks in the online poker industry, with high volumes of players at the tables coupled with some of the best graphics you will find at any online room. PokerRoom is also one of the oldest online poker rooms around, as it was established way back in 1999.
Overall the affiliate program is solid; offering an easy-to-use backend along with decent commissions. The main downfall of the program is that the actual poker room does not accept US players, and so it would be no use marketing the room to your US visitors as they will be unable to sign up and play. However, the affiliate program overall is solid, and is well worth promoting to your visitors.

Commission
PokerRoom offers both a CPA and MGR deal, which are on a sliding scale depending on how many players you send to the room. However, the requirements to move up are quite high, and are only really attainable if you are receiving a significant amount of traffic to your site and are able to send high volumes of players their way.
The following table highlights how the commission increases with the number of players you send to the room. The way you move up to the next level is by sending the allocated number of players to the room, or earning the specified amount of revenue share within a two-week period.
| Level | CPA | MGR | Players | Commission |
| Prospect | $75 | - | - | - |
| Basic | $100 | 30% | 1 | - |
| Silver | $110 | 32% | 50 | $500 |
| Gold | $120 | 34% | 150 | $1,500 |
| Platinum | $130 | 36% | 300 | $3,000 |
| Diamond | $140 | 38% | 500 | $5,000 |
| Black | $150 | 40% | 1,000 | $10,000 |
MGR affiliates are entered straight into basic level, whilst CPA affiliates start out at ‘prospect’. The commission for most affiliates at the basic level is pretty much at industry standard, although it makes it quite difficult to increase your earnings by setting high requirements to move up the levels. Therefore it will be difficult to increase your CPA or MGR unless you become a big affiliate.
MGR is the recommended choice for new affiliates joining the program.
Conversions
PokerRoom is on a well respected software platform, which plays host to a large number of players on the OnGame network. The high volume of players at the room means that it there is no problem in converting players that are looking for action, with there being a large range of players to play against. The network is currently 5th out of all the poker rooms when it comes to traffic, and is 3rd in traffic for rooms that do not accept US players.
As you can see from the screenshot at the top of the page, the OnGame network offers a very attractive platform for players to compete upon. Therefore any players that are influenced by the aesthetics of a poker room would be impressed by the table graphics that PokerRoom has to offer. Fortunately, the software does not lag in any way, and so the room enjoys a good level of retention for active players.
Because of the great software and high traffic, it makes PokerRoom a great choice for any new online poker player. The room offers everything a player might expect from a solid poker room. However, PokerRoom does not offer anything exceptional in the way of promotions, and so it would be difficult to convince any seasoned player that PokerRoom is worth uprooting from their current site to switch over.
Backend
The backend of the PokerRoom affiliate program is simple and easy to use, which is a breath of fresh air seeing as some affiliate program backends can make things a little tricky. You will have easy access to all of your statistics, banners and marketing tools for your site, making it one of the most enjoyable affiliate backends to work with in the industry.
The main downside to the program is that as an MGR or CPA affiliate, you have limited information on the players that you refer. In fact you will have no information on any of the players you refer such as how much each has individually raked, deposited and so on. The statistics that are made available to you are the general stats such as overall earnings, number of players referred, depositing players and click through’s.
Other than the easy to use backend, the highlight of the PokerRoom affiliate program is the number of good quality creatives that can be found in the marketing tools area. There are a large number of classy banners and text links that are frequently updated depending on the promotion on offer at the time, which can easy be downloaded or implemented on your site using the html code.
Support
PokerRoom has a good support team that responds to all emails in a timely manner. The easiest way to contact affiliate support is through the contact page available on the backend. However, there is a comprehensive FAQ also available that should help to answer any of the most common questions about the affiliate program as a whole.
Additional Notes
PokerRoom is compatible with players of Mac computers, as a non-downloadable version of the room is available on the main site.
Rakeback is not available on the OnGame network, so you do not have to worry about any players you refer being lost to rakeback sites.
