United StatesVIP-Grinders started as a small group of online poker regulars who were tired of leaving value on the table. We pooled our volume, negotiated better rakeback deals directly with rooms, and shared those deals with every player willing to use our codes.
Today we're one of the longest-running iGaming affiliate platforms in the industry. We cover poker, crypto casinos, and sports betting with the same philosophy: show the real numbers, secure the best deal, and support every player personally when things go wrong.
