Great post. It's about time one of the bigger poker affiliates speak up about how bad the communication can be with some of the affiliate programs. For the amount of money online poker sites bring in through affiliates you would think they would want to invest money into good staff.

Don't worry, I can ship that nasty beer from the states, providing the USPS worker doesn't get to it first :). Better yet I'll bring home a ton of Crown next time I am in Oz.</p> Nice comment Mitchell.

And it really summarizes a lot of frustrations that both the rooms and affiliates experience on a daily basis. I would add this though: 3.1 Flexibility. Rooms need to have the flexibility to absorb costs in the event that they had made a mistake on a deal or an allocation of a player. Likewise, like you mentioned, a room with the flexibility to allocate a player that may not have tracked, goes a long way in keeping the affiliate promoting their product. Thanks for the nice little plug! Just might need to get your facts straight about the beer - it's practically a crime to send out beer. We Aussies love to share it in a pub with good company!

It trickles down, and creates problems at every level. I think a lot of the problems stem from people higher up in the company that dont understand the importance of the affiliate program.

I completely understand what affiliate managers are going through. Some programs get stuck in binds, lose managers etc. but the ones you know are ignoring you or not doing anything to rectify the problems are such a pain. When people say, if you don't like them don't promote them it only works in some instances. Unless you're pokerlistings and don't mind losing mega bucks just to make a point. :) Great post.
