    Default Cake Poker-Shady Stats

    How do I have 20 downloads over 96 clicks on Cake Poker, but ZERO signups? I checked for the whole year and there is no signups despite tons and tons of downloads.

    Something is VERY wrong with this. How many players really download and then never play? Few, but how many players download, open a new account (in a new browser that it opens via Cake's prompts) and drop the cookies? Apparently many, as this is my only guess.



    I should absolutely be compensated for this. 20 downloads and zero players? Yea right.


    Can someone else check their stats on Cake?

    Does anyone else not think this is very suspicious?

    I find it both interesting and concerning that this is not a worry to anyone.

    May i ask how long you have been promoting them? Over the years I have had alot more clicks and downloads then no signups and it happens with nearly every site we promote.

    I wouldn't think its shady if you have 96 clicks and only 20 downloads, Over what period does this cover?

    Huh?? That is not the issue. The issue is that none of the downloads turn into signups. None.

    It is the issue. The quality of the traffic may not be good. Just because you have 20 downloads doesn't mean you are guaranteed to have a player open an account. There may be a case of the downloads being broken and the visitor not restarting the download. A player could open a fun account rather than real player account. There are a number of possibility's why they haven't converted to a real player.

    I know personally if i have trouble downloading a casino, i try once more then give up. How long have you been promoting cake because your downloads could be over a period of time meaning one or two downloads a month. This is why i asked.

    I have promoted cake for 12 months and for me they converted well and paid commissions on time. If your that worried, have a couple of your friends download and make a small deposit to see if it reflects in your commission account. If nothing shows then you may have an issue with your link. its worth a try.

    Something else i noticed with your stats you posted above is, you have zero impressions, are you displaying the banners correctly? as if you have downloads you should be showing you have had impressions.

    You cannot expect to be compensated for players who have not chosen to open a real player account. It would be a different story if you had a history of depositing players signing up then all of a sudden the stats don't add up. How long have you been an affiliate with them?

    A play/fun account would still track as a signup. There is zero shot 20 people downloaded the client and none made any account at all.

    The impressions do not track because they are text links.


    Also, the total is much greater than this. I send many RMPs and PMPs to many different rooms each month, not one has any type of numbers with any remote resemblence to these. Obviously there is variance in DLs to SUs to PMPs to RMPs, but it is never like this.


    It is clear that Cake is dropping cookies after a download as players need to open a new browser from within the downloaded client to make an account. This is where the issue is and it is nothing short of a scam.

    Until i see concrete proof this is the case, I would have to disagree. Have you asked anyone to audit this before calling them a scam? Have you made an attempt to contact them at all? These are the steps i would have taken first before posting in a forum. You have to give the casino an opportunity to look into this first.

    Cake Poker is known to have tracking issues from time to time. It is also known to have very low ROI.
