I signed up for ASP today because I cant wait the two weeks for a poker room to process payment and for me to receive it through the mail, than add the additional 30 day hold my bank places on all cheques that are from the US or abroad.

What makes it a little more comforting was to see a customer service center located in Canada…just a couple hours from me..

Thanks for the reply ASP. Will look forward to the new features.

Yeah I would also be looking forward to the ASP booth if I was going Graham. The Lamborghini and those couple of hot chicks will be awesome.

I am looking forward to their booth at CAP Euro. To be honest, I am stil holding off on investigating into it further until I know more programs are on board, but cap euro will give me a chance to learn a bit more about it.

I wanted to respond to Aden about having “2 debit cards per account? “or whether “ASP account to ASP account transfers allowed?”

ASP is currently working on new exciting features which will be made available over the coming months and we are currently looking into this idea.

We will keep you posted, thanks for the great feedback.

I think speedpay is a great solution. The problem is that many people in the U.S. are used to doing their banking at the corner Chase Bank or Bank of America and have never banked Internationally or movedmoney International.

I doubt you will hear any of the bigger affiliates complaining about even having to pay $6 to get 10 $100 bills from an ATM machine the same day they are paid. I have been banking internationally for 2 years now, and the fees some people are complaining about are actually quite reasonable.

It kind of shocks me too that some affiliates are complaining over nickels and dimes considering how much money we make compared to other affiliate industries.

If an extra $5 or $10 a month to get your money faster is too much, the don’t sign up for Speedpay. For me though, it is worth it.

Thanks for the answers.

I’m surprised how many people think the fees are to high! Maybe its because I have a banking background or I’m use to the fees that Sportsbooks charge for transactions. But really, I don’t think the fees are anything to complain about!

Yes certainly an affiliate program could be introduced, it would just be tough deciding how to pay when bringing in affiliates. Plus the rooms will be doing this anyways.

As people have mentioned they want the fees to be low for transferring for money, so that would not leave a lot for affiliates.

Now, If you would be interested in referring operators to us, I would rather structure that as a business deal and pay you accordingly.

Yeah perfect. Thanks for the heads up.

So in the future, when ASP is pulling a lot of weight, you can see the need for an affiliate program?

I don’t think an affiliate program is in the cards right now. However as the popularity grows, many affiliates will be searching for various speedpay searches in Google.

You could probably grab some sub-affiliate sign ups by writing a decent review and ranking for these terms. Both PAP and this blog get SERP traffic for speedpay terms.

Thanks for answering some of the questions ASP.

Will there be an affiliate program for ASP?

I’m definitely going to sign up and right a review on the process and what I think of it.
