By players, for players.

Since 2013.

VIP-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.

What Our
Players Say

"Been with VIP-Grinders since 2018 and they’re still the best affiliate for online poker. Good rakeback deals on WPT Global, GGPoker and others, plus solid monthly payouts and exclusive freerolls/races. Support is fast and actually helpful when issues come up. Transparent, reliable, no nonsense. Highly recommend if you want to maximize your poker value."
Ryan O'Connor
GGPoker regular, NL200
"Great group of guys! They helped us with several setups and keep our staking operation running smoothly. Whenever we need something, they are always there to help. I’ve been with them pretty much since the beginning and they helped with a lot of things, even withdrawals at some rooms. If you want good deals and someone who’s got your back, I recommend VIP Grinders to work with."
ChuckleCobra
GGPoker regular, NL200
"I’ve been with VIP Grinders for around 5 years and this is what I like the most about them:
-Quick and very helpful support
-Maximum value in rakeback deals
-Extra money with their rake chases and races
-Exclusive tournaments with great value and packages

Really happy to have found them and both me and other of my professional poker player friends got plenty of value over the years with them."
AceAfficionado
GGPoker regular, NL200
"I’m very impressed by how quick and the quality of their support. They have a skype contact always available to help with any question and I switched from my previous affiliate as they were so slow and didn’t seem to care about their players. Can’t complain about them, a very professional partner to work with."
Jasmine
GGPoker regular, NL200
"Very good deals and support. They definitely know what they are doing and are a very good affiliate to work with. These guys have been around for a long time and wish them all the best for the future!"
MysticMaven
GGPoker regular, NL200
"I’ve been with VIP Grinders for a few years and they are a legit poker affiliate. By joining sites like GGPoker and WPT through them I can play their exclusive freerolls and other tournaments. Just needed to create also an account on their site to get tagged and then I could play all their tournaments."
