Walker Poker Announces New Affiliate Program

July 16 - Walker Poker, one of the most well recognized online poker brand names in the industry, has gone one step further to prove that the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act has not managed to put out the fire in the industry by a long shot.

Walker Poker, which was actually established after the UIGEA was passed in 2006, has announced a lucrative new version of its affiliate program, that promises great returns for those who choose to work with the site.

The new affiliate program, to be known as Walker Pays, promises to accept affiliates from all over the world, including the United States of America.

Walker Poker currently works off the Merge Gaming platform and network.  This poker room is one of a handful that accepts US players and therefore has a sound industry edge - it is estimated that 50% of the global poker customer base is made up of US players.

A company official reiterated this week that Walker Poker will continue to work with US affiliates. "Walker Pays is one of the few affiliate groups that offer US businesses high CPA and Revenue Share Deals," he said. "We have not changed our deals since the UIGEA shut down poker in the United States."

The terms of the new affiliate program were announced, including 40% revenue share, $200 CPA, lucrative bonuses and promotions and extra perks such as private poker tournaments for players.

One Walker Poker affiliate who runs more than 100 informational poker sites and is profiting nicely from the program, Jesse Hamm said: "At 40% rev share, this is an attractive offer to any webmaster with a decent amount of poker traffic."
