What do they payout per active?

Are you talking about poker only or just affiliate programs in general?

Oh sorry im talking about poker affiliates, for percentage the normal payout is round 20% for sign up its round $65 per sign up. What does everyone use?

Poker is like webcams... high PPS or low revenue share.

The reason is the same; both acquire a few whales in the pile of low revenue signups. Many webcam addicts spend thousands a month on their favorite webcams. Many poker addicts spend thousands a month as well on their favorite game.

I can say that $65 PPS doesn't sound high enough.
I can do much better.

Poker Affiliate Programs Mini-FAQ:

What does CPA and MGR revenue plans mean?
CPA is an acronym for Cost Per Action, and it normally means you get paid for every player that registers via your campaign and starts playing with real money. CPA is often referred to as "Per sign up plan". MGR stands for Monthly Gross Revenue, where you get a fixed percentage of the poker sites monthly revenue from the players you refer. MGR is often referred to as "Revenue share plan".

What kind of commission plan should I choose, per sign up or percentage of revenue?
Although most affiliate programs tell you to sign up for the CPA plan if you are not sure, I strongly recommend you to sign up for the revenue share plan right away. Most players are worth much more than $60/$200 dollars! The top online poker affiliates in the industry make between $50,000-$150,000 per month. The average affiliate makes about $10,000 per month. The online gaming industry is one of the fastest growing segments of internet commerce today, so you should let the players you refer generate income for you forever.

The thing is, these guys offer much lower payouts to their average signups directly on thier websites. Yet they negotiate much higher payouts at the ad networks.
