Poker affiliates can make thousands of dollars a month, or they can make nothing. It all depends on the quality or quantity of their poker affiliate conversions. Lets just say you sign up one player who plays 2/4 nl holdem on 4 screens just 2 hours a day and maybe more sometimes. You can make $1000.00 a month just of that one player (if he does not get rake back). Now lets say you sign up 5 2/4 nl holdem players who play 6 hours a day on multiple screens. You might make 5 -10k a month just on those players (if they haven’t signed up for rake back). It all depends on how active your poker affiliate conversions are. If they don’t play – you don’t make money! There are poker affiliates who make hundreds of thousands of dollars every month! Being a poker affiliate has to be one of the best ways to make money online! You would seriously have to have allot of web traffic to generate these types of poker affiliate conversions, but if you invest some time and money, it can happen. Let’s say you signed up 500 players and 40 are active. Three players of these active players play 5/10 limit, 2 play 5/10 nl, 10 play 2/4 limit, and the rest play in the .10 .25 cent range. Lets say you offer them all 27% of your 30% commission as rack back. Even if you offer all these players rake back, you still stand to make over 2k per month as long as you have 40 active players. One more example: you have one 5/10 nl player that plays 9 hours every day on 3 screens. I bet you make at least 4k a month of of just him (if he doesn’t get rake back)! You would need real estate worth 500k to earn that much clear every month. So why not invest 25k to start a poker website and promote it?

Money needed to start a quality website:
3k for development
8k in online advertising
1k fliers
1k newsprint papers
1k server costs 2 years and domains
2k software script bugs, security, misc
3k content
6k for war chest

It’s possible to make thousands without spending a dime. I have stated this in my previous post Top 5 free ways to promote online poker. This was just a way you could kick-start your poker affiliate business if you are serious about making money online and have money to invest in websites.
