Hello AGD Members,

Today I am writing to let you know about some exciting new changes to the FocalClick affiliate program that will be effective August 1, 2009. We at Focalclick have worked hard this summer to make changes to the program that we feel will make Focalclick.com a top tier affiliate program. To go along with these changes we are also releasing a new version of the Focalclick.com website this weekend. I have highlighted the changes for you below:


Share the Wealth

The new program now gives affiliates the opportunity to earn commission based on net gaming revenue. As an affiliate with our program, your commission rate starts at 25% and has the potential to rise up to 35% based on the Net Gaming from the players you send for the calendar month.

Net Gaming Revenue Share Percentage
0 - $10,000 25%
$10,001 – $30,000 30%
$30,001 + 35%


The old model rewarded you for the number of players affiliates sent to any one of our partner sites. This new scale will help affiliates earn more money, even if they only have a couple players generating income during the month, if they are big players, affiliates can still earn up to 35%.

Tools for the Job

To help affiliates attract new players – and keep them generating revenue – we have prepared a new suite of media assets and tracking tools. Our mix of exciting promotions, combined with sticky messaging and new banners, will help affiliates attract and retain players. This will be released with the new site on August 1st.

No Negatives

If a player hits a jackpot at our tables, we don’t believe you should be penalized. Previously, Focalclick.com had a negative carry over only in unique rare cases but starting August 1st we have instigated a ‘no negative carryover’ clause in our terms and conditions. If they lose, you win. If they win – you will not be penalized.

More Support

Our goal is simple: to be the best affiliate program in the business. To this effect, we have added additional members to our team to ensure personal attention to your specific needs and a timely response to any questions you may have.

Once again, thank you for your support and, I hope you enjoy the new FocalClick website launching on August 1st and the advantages it has to offer.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact any member of the team, we are here to help.

Yours truly,

Mark Marrow, Director,
Patrick Gavin, Affiliate Manager
Ulrike Markgraf, German Affiliate Coordinator
David Paxson, Russian Affiliate Coordinator

We can attest to the fact that the upcoming changes to the terms will be VERY good for affiliates.

Focal Click appears to be one of the few programs looking to work hard to make affiliates a priority.

Thanks to Mark and the Focal Click team for working with us and for being pro-active in their approach (They approached us with the changes, it was not AGD-Requested modifications).

It is awesome, so it means that FocalClick will be the only Playtech without negative carryover? :)

I'll second that!!! Exactly what U.S. affiliates need to push PTech.... I can get them some change , but they always steal it back :rolleyes:

Clever, clever move on their part. A bunch of programs institute some decidedly not affiliate friendly changes in their terms and just when the issue is at the forefront of everyone's minds, along come Focal Click who change their terms to be MORE affiliate friendly.

Good timing and they're sure to benefit from this (as, indeed, they should).

Good point Tryme1 ... step right up folks, you're the next property on "Treat the affiliate right for a change!"

.... what better time to play then when the competitions down... help us crush them out of business.... intentional or not. we'll take it! I'm in talks with Shelly now about getting them more exposure. :)

its just a game of rewards and punishment... who's up next? ;D

They've handled this pretty well, I think. The emails (two in 72 hours) sent out to affiliates have caught my attention enough to read them and they've reinforced their offering nicely.

I don't think it's much of a coincidence that they recently got Patrick Gavin in as their affiliate manager.

Right now, they are still earmarked only for a small section on a casino coupons website, but if they offered UK pounds or Rands gambling, I'd push them quite hard right now. Reward the people that reward you, that's my motto.

Thank you all for the kind words. We hope that affiliates will be very happy with the new terms, commission structure and website.

I did want to respond to the currency issue, OmniCasino and SunPoker do accept UK pounds gambling. We also accept:

USD
GBP
EURO
SEK - Swedish Krona
JPY - Yen
DKK - Danish Krone
NOK- Norway Krona
CAD - Canadian Dollars

The new Focalclick.com is live, when you have some time please take a look. We'd love to know what you think of the new site.

Thanks again!

Tryme1- That is great news! Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with. I'd be more than happy to send over any banners, screen shots or reviews. Feel free to send an email with what you need and I will get it over to you ASAP. I look forward to getting Omni going on your sites! Thank you for adding us.

I look forward to growing the relationship.
