Why Chipleader ROCKS!
August 14, 2009
Well…
Chipleader’s Affiliate Appreciation trip was absolutely ridiculous… so much fun! As you all may know we offer a promo for all affiliates once a year, usually the top 10-15 qualify for an amazing trip that we put together. 2007 we did it up in Bahamas, 2008 was the sunny Costa Rica adventure and 2009′s venue was ARGENTINA… WOW!
This year 10 affiliates that won the promotion (highest percentage increase of MGR over a 3 month period) were whisked away to Buenos Aires Argentina… we gallivanted off to one of the most beautiful spots on earth the Iguazu falls, we viewed an amazing tango show, visited a ranch to hang out with some local Gauchos, drink wine, eat LOTS O’ MEAT, and much more! This trip is all about you guys (AFFILIATES), Chipleader’s team really does appreciate the collaboration and camaraderie that we experience from all you…it’s just one way of how we show how much we enjoy working with all of you.
I cannot even imagine what is in store for our 2010 trip, I’m sure the group that goes and the destination will be second to none. Besides our Affiliate Appreciation promotion that is run annually Chipleader is constantly offering ways to motivate and entice you to grow with us and have fun. You can always visit our brands promotions here: http://www.absolutepoker.com/promotions/ http://www.ub.com/poker-promotion and http://www.chipleader.com/promotions.asp
As always email me at Danielle@chipleader.com or Alex@chipleader.com for any inquiries, concerns, questions or if you just want to chat, we’d love to hear from you.
Enjoy the weekend!

America Latina
July 1, 2009
Hello guys,
I just visited Colombia and Venezuela to promote Aruba. It is amazing how the game has been developed in Latin America with hundreds of players playing our events. these scenarios motivates me to work for the good of our poker and also know the new faces that will soon be recognized in Latin America and why not Worldwide. Great cities, great food and even better the people who played, makes me feel proud of our roots and hoping more players can join us to our TRAVEL IN ARUBA .

Keeping Everything Fresh!
June 25, 2009
Hello Everyone!
Yes, it’s almost Friday… YAY!
I wanted to touch base on a few things for all of you, mostly in regards to banners, reviews, and text on your sites, portals. Please keep in mind that Chipleader always sends mailers out when we have upcoming promotions, technical updates, basically anything that is of interest to you so you should always make sure that your email address is up to date in your Chipleader account, this will ensure that you do receive all news and events for our brands. You can always email Marcela or I for any questions, Marcela@chipleader.com and Danielle@chipleader.com
On another note, Absolute Poker and UB are non stop with promotions, land based events, HUGE tournaments, and much more. We always have new creatives/banners in the HTML Link Factory In Chipleader. You can find multiple sizes for almost any promotion that we run. Keeping the info new will always benefit you, and keep in mind that if you would like something custom created for your site Marce and I can probably pull some strings. 
As for feeds like the Bad Beat you can request those from Marcela and I, as well as tournament feeds and/or anything regarding stats. We are always striving to produce tools to optimize the experience you have with Chipleader. Currently for both AP and UB in the Chipleader HTML link factory we have banners for WSOP, tournaments, Annie Duke, MAC for AP, our pros, etc. It’s just best if we keep it fresh!

Why is poker good for everybody?
June 23, 2009
I have seen people look at me differently when they find out I work in the gambling industry. Very unfair I’d say. Same reasons why people look at artists different too. Artists have always been related to a life full of alcohol and drugs, just to name a few. Same thing happens with gamblers who have made wrong choices. But I have to say that poker is actually good for everyone. Everybody should learn to play poker, at least the basics. Poker is all about reading other people. You have to find patterns while trying to be 10 steps ahead of the rest. You have to learn to control yourself and be patient. You have to believe that you are the best and you can’t hesitate…
Go poker go!
