As you probably know, just about every prominent online poker site is offering player satellite tournaments and freerolls, or travel packages to the WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas. The theory is that affiliates can use these tournaments as tools to pull in more players. And that theory is based on the assumption that players get really excited for this event, and are scouring the Internet for places to qualify.
So what do you think? Does WSOP bring in the traffic and players, or does it have a limited effect on affiliate marketing? Have you even tried to market the event to players, or do you think it’s unecessary?

I’m curious — what kind of benefit do poker affiliates really get from the popularity of the World Series of Poker?

WSOP is a great way to get all types of players. It is always in the news if you promote satellites (Like at Towergaming.com) you give the player one more reason to sign up. We are all competitive and there is nothing like winning a ticket to a satellite tourney to have a chance to play at the WSOP.
It should be front and center on your page and watch the players sign up. The best advice I can give don’t have 20 rooms offering wsop – pick one or two rooms – your convertion will increase, and help you focus your players to sign up.
