According to industry experts, online poker is one of the fastest growing industries on the world, growing approximately 20% every year and surpassing other sectors of the online gaming industry, including online casinos and sportsbetting sites But online poker is not only one of the largest industries on net, it is also an industry that anyone can easily profit from.

It may seem too simple and easy, but for many business experts, joining an online poker affiliate program is one of the quickest ways to earn extra cash by simply promoting an online gaming or poker brand.

So what exactly is a poker affiliate or a poker affiliate program? The answer is simple. Affiliate programs are marketing strategies used by online poker sites to bring new players by offering other sites or individuals a monetary incentive for doing their marketing work for them.

Anyone can become an affiliate, and the process to join one of these programs is quick and simple. There are hundreds of sites and poker rooms that offer other sites and individuals a percentage of their profit for each player they bring to their sites. Once you find an affiliate program that suits you, you'll have to fill out an application and submit it.

Once your application gets approved by the online poker affiliate program, you can use several ways to promote the poker room. Most gaming sites provide their affiliates with different tools and online marketing materials available in a variety of languages, including banners, landing pages, bonus codes, HTML mailers, RSS feeds, etc.  Affiliates can build their own sites or use forums, blogs, emails, or person to person strategies to sign new players. The more new real money players you attract to the poker or online casino site, the bigger the commission you'll get.

Affiliate commissions can be paid in several ways depending on each site's policies. Most rooms offer a staring percentage or CPA (Cost Per Acquisition) for each qualified referral or PRP (Percentage Revenue Plan), which pays a percentage of the net lifetime revenue from each new player that signs up. Affiliates are able to regularly check their stats and see how many players they've brought and much money they're making, and recognize which banners, tools or graphics are generating most entries and improve their strategies and maximize their earning potential.
