As many of you know Brandon has taken a promotion at ChanPoker.com. He started within the organization as Director of Affiliates and quickly has moved up to the ranks to now being in charge of the affiliate program as well as being the Poker Room Manager. I have been friends with Brandon since 2005 and have also done business with him on various levels. We have had ChanPoker on several of our language sites at PokerNews and it is converting very well for us.

Below are 5 reasons why poker affiliates should be promoting the ChanPoker Affiliate Program.

1. The Affiliate Department - In this industry it’s easy to sign up for programs, send players, and then realize that the affiliate department has terrible support. I can’t count the number of times it has taken me over a week to get a response from AM’s at various places. With Brandon running the program here, this will not happen. We have had queries at PAW, and our emails always get answered within hours, not days. The support is amazing.

2. The Brand - When launching a new poker site now days, it is imperative to have a strong brand. I can’t think of a better brand than Johnny Chan. He is one of the most legendary players in the world.

3. The Gaming Platform - ChanPoker.com is on the Ongame network. This is good because when you send players, you know that they will have action. Nothing is worse than sending a 2-4NL player to a newer room, and the biggest game running is a micro-limit game. With the ongame network, this will never be a problem.

4. The Affiliate Platform - Of course I would encourage you to promote ChanPoker through the PAW Network to get the premium deal, but I do understand everyone has different needs and wants. Regardless, the ChanPoker Affiliate backend is very nice and easy to use. This was a custom designed interface and probably one of the nicer affiliate platforms I have dealt with recently.

5. Brandon Berndt - Last but not least; I think the shear fact that Brandon is not only the director of affiliates, but also the poker room manager gives me an added trust in the room. I have worked closely with Brandon on several projects, and I know his ethics are amongst the highest in the industry. Likewise he is willing to go above and beyond to make sure both his players and his affiliates have a first class experience.

I asked the man himself what he envisioned for the future of ChanPoker, and here is what he said:

“I am really excited about the opportunities for affiliates at ChanPoker.com. In the last month we have been seeing an explosive growth in the number of both players and affiliates signing up at ChanPoker.” I think a couple of our strongest assets are as follow;

1. The network is robust and already has a large number of players with action at all limits. This allows for a much better rentention rate than many of the smaller rooms in the market.

2. Our commitment to both players and affiliates is unparalleled. I will work on a personal level with any affiliate to help them achieve their maximum potential through our partnership.”

To start promoting ChanPoker.com, you can get a great 35% revenue share going through the Poker Affiliate World Network. Or you can sign up directly through the ChanPoker Affiliate Program and negotiate your own rate.
