I only have one player at Paradise Affiliates that so far this month has deposited $1000. The rake on that is $52.34 and my commision $13.09.
I’m pretty new to the poker scene so have no idea if those figures are any good, or whether they appear realistic. There are also certain days when my commision was negative. I didn’t know that was possible with poker.
I would really appreciate if someone more experienced with poker could give me a better idea of what to expect when looking at my poker stats.
The negative commission more than likely comes from bonuses, as Paradise gives 10$ bonus every 100 raked hands (up to 50$).
Just my guess
Thanks, my stats show 340 hands, so that would explain the negative balances.
Your stats sound right. Sounds like you have a good depositer because of the $1000, but they haven’t played a ton of hands yet. You only earn the rake when they play hands, not on the deposit. If you have a player that is really good, then they can deposit a few hundred bucks and you would earn rake for months as they are winning and keep playing with their winnings. If the player is really bad, a high deposit amount can be lost rather quickly, with a minimal amount of rake since the hands played won’t be as much and the money lost goes to another player.
One month I had 17,000 in deposits and earned 300 from one affiliate. Deposits are only the first step in poker.
Thanks for the replies. My player has deposited over $5000 since September. Not quite a whale but not too shabby either.
$5000 in deposits since September sounds like a whale to me. He/she is a whale for someone anyway, hopefully for you it isn’t the players across the table feasting off of the blubber. Also keep in mind that some sites don’t count tournament fees as part of your commission, can’t remember if Paradise is one of them.
