Hi,

Can you please let me know the minimum amount I can set up a private freeroll for and send me the form I need to fill out to set it up.

Thanks,
Jason

Hi Jason,

I had a quick look at your account and see have referred only 15 signups this year. Unfortunately we only offer this service to higher volume affiliates as we have found most freerolls are cancelled due to little to no participants.

Hi,
 
I'm not sure where you come up with 15 sign ups, I see 33 so far this year
 
January - 11
Febuary - 2
March - 5
April - 10
May - 5
 
Either way I know this is not very many, I send more than three times this many players to a few other rooms every month. I'll guarantee you this is because I'm able to offer extra incentives at these rooms.
 
This is the first time I've heard this and I have asked for the form before and it was sent right away "or at least the info. needed to set it up". I don't see how you expect someone to become a "higher volume" affiliate without being able to offer players anything extra.
 
Anyway, I can guarantee you there will be more than enough participants and the tournament would not be cancelled. This is the weirdest thing I have heard from an affiliate manager yet.
 
Please let me know if you can set up the following tournament.
 
Date - Sunday May 23rd 
Time - 18:00 EST
Name - OPA Freeroll
Description - Private tournament for OnlinePokerAds Forum members only, join the forum for more info.
Game - NL Holdem, full tables, regular speed
Buy-in - Freeroll
Prize pool - $50
Password - "Edited Out"
 
Once you confirm that you can set it up I will deposit the funds for the tournament into my player account.
 
Let me know,
Jason
