How does Net Generated Revenue (NGR) work?

If your real money players generate NGR that is $10,000 or less in a calendar month you will earn 25% of the NGR for that month. However, if your real money players generate NGR that is between $10,001 and $20,000 in a calendar month you will earn 30% of the NGR for that month and, if they generate NGR that is over $20,001 you will earn 35% of the NGR they generated for the month.

What is a tracking code?

This is a unique URL code we create in order to track clicks on your banners. Once a banner is clicked and a player enters CakePoker and signs up, we’ll know that player came from your site. Please note: if a player enters another Sign-Up code or a friend’s E-mail address, your URL will not be credited for the sign up.

What is a Sign-Up code?

When players sign up for an account at CakePoker, there is a field that prompts them to type in their Sign-Up Code. You can create your own Sign-Up code (eg. “FreeCake”) and prompt your players to enter it, depending on your marketing strategy. Please note: this is not a deposit bonus. A Sign-Up is an added feature to ensure you get credit for players that you refer.

Do I get credit for players who earn revenue through Share Cake?

If a Cake Affiliate brings in a real money player who in turn refers friends via the Cake Share program, this does NOT constitute a Sub-Affiliate relationship to the benefit of the Cake Affiliate. Share CakePoker is a refer-a-friend program that will ensure that any players that profit from Share CakePoker have a reason to return to CakePoker and play. This increases the likelihood that the players you’ve worked hard to direct to CakePoker stay and play at CakePoker.

Do I have to have a website to be a CakePoker Affiliate?

You do not need to have a website to be a CakePoker Affiliate. Simply sign up and create your own Sign-Up code. You can then place this code onto marketing material to hand out to players, send through E-mails, etc.
