Topic: Shaking down poker affiliates? Affiliate bonuses? Forum: Bonus Whores

This topic came up in a different thread, but I think it deserves special attention.

It is well known that affiliates--(web sites that refer you to an online poker room) get pretty good bonus money when you sign up to play for real money through said affiliate. Some of these affiliates can get $200 and up for referring a single poker player.

So, since "we" as poker players are making these affiliates money, it was stated that we should bargain with the various "affiliates" to get as much of the "affiliate bonus" as we can. Sounds like another lucrative "bonus whore" tactic.

I have already tried this tactic and been successful, which leads me to think that I can ask for much more of the "affiliate bonus" than I did. I basically asked for 1/3 of the affiliate bonus, and got an agreement immediately. Now, I think I should try for more like 1/2. How much success have you guys had in trying this approach to maxxing out your bonus?

Also, can anyone give a rundown of the "rough value" of an affiliate bonus at the various poker sites? This would be helpful in negotiating how much of a bonus I should be able to get.

Final note: Don't forget to support your favorite poker pages (such as bonuswhores.com and twoplustwo.com) by signing up for some online poker through them. Don't steal ALL the money, give a little back to the "community".
