How do I start making money?

You can start earning commission right away by becoming a referral partner in our Affiliate Program and setting up the necessary links on your web site. (Read the Affiliate Program Agreement and submit the registration form if you wish to join the affiliate program.) When visitors to your site click on your links to Five Stars Poker Club, they will be tracked by our system. You will receive commission for (1) visitors who become revenue-generating Club customers and (2) visitors who join our affiliate program and go on to refer additional commission-earning visitors to our affiliate program.

What is your interpretation of "Revenue Share"?

"Revenue share" shall mean the sum total of all New Members' contributions to "rakes" the New Members were involved in while playing at our poker room, less any credits, bonus or promotional amounts given to New Members, processing charges, chargebacks or any uncollectable revenue attributable to the New Members. A New Member's contribution to a "rake" shall be determined by multiplying the quotient obtained when dividing the actual amount to a hand contributed by the New Member by the total bet of each hand, by the total "rake" of the hand in question. For example, if the Real New Member's contribution to the hand is €5.00 and the total bet in the hand is €20.00 and the "rake" of the hand in question is €1.00, the Real New Member's contribution to the rake will be twenty five cents €0.25.

What is a "Referral code"?

A referral code is used by our system to track visitors to Five Stars Poker Club from your web site. You will receive a unique referral code for the web site address you enter in the affiliate program registration form in the field entitled "URL to your site." Each referral code is unique and related to your specific user profile.

The correct referral code is to be used whenever you create a link to Five Stars Poker Club. If you have multiple sites in your network, each unique site will have its own unique referral code that should be used only when linking from that particular site. You can create additional referral codes to be used on other web sites in your network from your online referral partner account.

Where can I see how much I've earned?

When you are registered as a referral partner in our affiliate program, you will be able to access a secure online reporting interface to check your current statistics at any time. Your referral statistics are continuously updated from the database.

My statistics don't seem to reflect the number of customers I've referred.

1) Make sure you are using the correct referral link and referral code.
2) Keep in mind that you are compensated only for referring new customers to Five Stars Poker Club. You cannot earn commission for directing a visitor to the Club if he/she is already a registered customer.

How much can I make by recruiting other webmasters to join the affiliate program?

Our affiliate program offers referral partners the opportunity to earn money not only by recruiting playing customers, but also by recruiting other webmasters to become active members of the affiliate program. Your monthly commission can add up quickly!

When an individual clicks on your web site link and registers to become a member of the affiliate program, the individual becomes your so-called sub-partner. Likewise, when an individual clicks on your sub-partner's web site and registers to become a member of the affiliate program, the individual becomes your sub-partner (on sub-level 2). You can create an entire family of sub-partners on five sub-levels and get a percentage of the commission earned by every sub-partner on each of the five different sub-levels. The amount of commission you earn by recruiting a sub-partner is calculated as a percentage of the commission earned by that sub-partner. The percentage used in calculating your compensation depends on the sub-partner's level, as shown in the table below:

The exact commission amount you have earned to date via your referred sub-partners is displayed in the online reporting interface.

My commission has decreased since last month. What happened?

This usually means that one or more of the customers you referred to Five Stars Poker Club got lucky in the online games. This may seem negative to you in the short term, but this is the way an honest gaming establishment stays successful in the long term. Winning players are happy players who are likely to play at the gaming venue for a long period of time.
