I just made the following post on the zoo, and thought it might be interesting enough to share here:
Someone asked:

This is gonna sound borderline retarded, but are there any affiliates for WSEX that offer anything?

It's actually not quite as retarded as it sounds. Affiliates are great for recruiting players, and WPEX plans on using this RB promotion to get more money into thier sportsbook and casino. They don't plan on losing money on it, so it makes some sense that thaey might have an affiliate program. I am 99% sure they do not though. I think they are hoping word of mouth works. The problem is the casual poker play is radically uninformed about rake and its effect.

I think they should have an affiliate program of some sort. EDIT: Another zoo poster (I forget who) thought of this first -- it's not my original idea. Affiliates would not get paid unless they person they recruited placed some sports bets or casino wagers though. Perhaps some affiliates should look into that, and ask the WPEX management if that sort of arrangement is possible.

The problem with WPEX is its player pool. Affiliates get customers. How many affiliates might be interested in refering players to WPEX on the condition that the affilates get rewarded when that player makes sports or casino wagers? It might just be a one time payout, but it might increase traffic to the site.

Thoughts?
