Aced Affiliate Program Review
ChipSplit, the affiliate program of Merge Gaming brands Aced, Carbon Poker and PDC Poker, is one of the most affiliate-friendly programs in the industry. They are very responsive to affiliate and player concerns and always have a great line of communication open with PAS.
Publishers wishing to promote Aced will receive Revenue-Share commissions of 40% through PAS. Highlights of the affiliate program include above average conversion and retention rates as well as no negative carry over from month to month.
Even though the network no longer offers rakeback to new players, the room does offer an attractive VIP program as an alternative that yields a VIP rate up to 45%, a rate which is actually higher than some existing rakeback players receive. One downside is that a player must rake $2,500 before the highest rate can be achieved, an amount that not every player can reach.
Affiliates can promote Aced to many countries worldwide, including U.S. players as of November 2011. In the summer of 2011, the Merge Gaming Network received a European license from the Lotteries and Gaming Authority in Malta, adding to the appeal of the network to players on the other side of the Atlantic. Aced is an attractive brand for affiliates looking to cater to European players and non-US North American players.
Aced Room Review
Established in 2008, Aced is a relatively new online poker room that is operated by the same company that runs Carbon Poker, widely seen as the flagship site of the Merge Gaming Network. The network is currently one of the top 10 most popular networks in the world and ranks even higher among worldwide poker networks. With a significant rise in traffic over the last couple years, over 2000 real money players can be seen at Aced during peak times, which is usually around 02:00 GMT. Aced offers greater game variety than virtually any other poker room with much of the action occurring at the No Limit Hold’em, Fixed Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha tables. Many of the Hold’em games are available at special Bad Beat Jackpot tables which award huge cash prizes for losing with Quad Sevens. Standard tables are also available for various forms of Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, Draw, Stud and mixed games including HORSE and HOSE. Tournament players can enjoy hundreds of thousands of dollars a week in guaranteed tournaments, highlighted by the weekly $100,000 and daily $10,000.
Depositing players who register at Aced through a PAS site will be eligible for a 150% up to $750 deposit bonus. Clearing the bonus will require players earn 75 VIP Points per $1 of bonus money, releasing in $5 increments for every 375 VIP Points that are earned. Players can earn VIP Points based on the rake or tournament fees that they generate: 10 VIP Points for each $1. This makes the bonus the equivalent of 13% rakeback. Any uncleared portion of the first deposit bonus will expire after 90 days or upon a withdrawal. A $2.20 satellite coupon will also be awarded when the bonus is issued.
As a Merge Gaming skin, players are not able to receive rakeback at Aced. Instead, the site offers one of the most attractive VIP programs on the network, allowing players to receive up to 45% VIP. What makes the rewards program so attractive in relation to many other Merge Gaming sites is that players can achieve the maximum rate when generating $2,500 in rake during a month, which is much easier than other sites. Players who generate this amount can still receive returns of 12%-25%, depending on status level. Qualifying for the VIP program will also yield rebates, event invitations, a VIP player host and much more.
Aced offers players a variety of deposit and withdrawal methods. Global e-wallet options on the network include Neteller, Moneybookers, Ecocard and Click2pay. Eastern European and Russian players may use Web Money, with additional options including1 Pay, Ecocard, Instadebit, ClickandBuy, Entropay and Paysafecard. Players are also given a choice of a variety of credit cards including Visa and Mastercard. The site does not currently accept new U.S. players but still allows existing players to deposit with a credit card or Visa and withdraw via check.
