UB/Absolute Affiliate Changes – Multiple Accounts

This an email recently sent out to affiliates. As we’ve seen in the Full Tilt capping rakeback affiliate payouts, recent changes at PokerStars, and other smaller rooms making tweaks to their affiliate programs it looks like many poker rooms are analyzing the value their affiliate programs are bringing in and deciding making adjustments where they think they can save some money.

Dear Affiliate,

In an effort to address the issue of multiple accounts on the CEREUS network, we’ve made some changes to the Chipleader Terms & Conditions.

As you’re aware, the affiliate Terms & Conditions for both Absolute Poker and UB have always stated that any commission and/or tagging of a player to an affiliate account must be a NEW player.

Beginning April 19th, a NEW player is only allowed one account to be tagged and/or commission to be paid on the CEREUS network.

In the past, a single NEW player could technically be new at both Absolute Poker and UB. With the change, only one account per player on the CEREUS Network can be tagged and will be eligible to earn a commission for affiliates.

For example, if a player has one account with Absolute Poker and another account with UB, only the first account opened by that player will earn their affiliate a commission.

Please note that in the event that a commission is paid to an affiliate on a player’s second CEREUS account, that commission will be debited from the affiliate’s monthly payment. If you’re a rakeback affiliate in this scenario, you will only be debited your profit. We will not debit the rakeback paid to the player.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with your affiliate manager.

Thanks,

The Chipleader Team
