Best Practices
Effective Sharing
Be authentic. Share your genuine experience with DCS. Players trust recommendations from people they know.
Target your audience. Focus on people who already play dominoes or have expressed interest in competitive games.
Explain the value. Real money prizes, national rankings, and structured competition—these are compelling benefits.
Follow up. If someone expresses interest, check back. People often need reminders to take action.

- Domino-focused Facebook groups
- Community forums and message boards
- In-person conversations at game nights
- Family and friend gatherings
What to Say
Keep it simple:
"I'm playing in DCS now—it's a domino league with real cash prizes every week. If you want to check it out, here's my link. You get full access and I get a small commission."
Highlight the competition:
"DCS has weekly prize pools up to $2,000. Top players qualify for national tournaments with $100K+ in prizes. It's serious competition but still fun."
Emphasize accessibility:
"Membership is just $50-200 for the whole year. If you make the Elite Six even once, you've probably earned back your membership fee."

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a DCS member to be an affiliate?
No, but it helps. Members can speak authentically about the experience and are more credible to potential referrals.
What if someone uses my link but doesn't sign up right away?
Our tracking cookie lasts 30 days. If they sign up within that window, you get credit.
Can I refer people in any city?
Yes. DCS operates in 50 cities. Your referrals can join wherever they're located.
What if I refer a lot of people?
High-performing affiliates may qualify for Partner tier (15% commission) or special promotions. Contact us if you're consistently referring 5+ members per month.
Can I also be a club partner or venue partner?
Yes. Affiliate status doesn't prevent you from other partnerships. In fact, many affiliates eventually become organizers or venue partners.
How do I handle questions I can't answer?
Direct them to DCS support or the documentation. You're a connector, not a support representative.
