Frequently Asked Question
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 StellaPoker, they will be tracked by our system. You will receive commission for (1) visitors who become revenue-generating StellaPoker customers and (2) visitors who join our affiliate program and go on to refer additional commission-earning visitors to our affiliate program.
You will receive % of the net gaming result generated by the customers you have referred plus % to % of the commission earned by other webmasters you refer to our affiliate program.
What is "net gaming"?
" Net gaming" is a term used in the calculation of the commission you will earn each month as a referral partner in our affiliate program. When you refer a new customer to StellaPoker, you will earn a percentage of the gross revenue the customer generates for StellaPoker each month. Net gaming per customer is calculated as the sum the customer has deposited into his/her gaming account minus the sum the customer has withdrawn from his/her gaming account minus the customer's current gaming account balance. In essence, net gaming per customer is the amount the customer has lost by wagering in our online games. As a referral partner, you earn X% of the monthly gross revenue ("net gaming") generated by all customers you have referred to StellaPoker.
What is a "referral code"?
A referral code is used by our system to track visitors to StellaPoker 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 StellaPoker.com. 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 StellaPoker. You cannot earn commission for directing a visitor to StellaPoker 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:
| Sub-Partner Level |
Compensation (as a percentage of earned sub-partner commission) |
| 1 (referral partners you referred directly from your web site) |
Y% |
| 2 (referral partners referred by sub-partners on Level 1) |
Z% |
| 3 (referral partners referred by sub-partners on Level 2) |
A% |
| 4 (referral partners referred by sub-partners on Level 3) |
B% |
| 5 (referral partners referred by sub-partners on Level 4) |
C% |
The exact commission amount you have earned to date via your referred sub-partners is displayed in the online reporting interface.
My net gaming-based commission has decreased since last month. What happened?
This usually means that one or more of the customers you referred to StellaPoker 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.
