Topic: A Gambling Affiliate Program Problem (Read 66 times)

Yes, many people experience problems like you are experiencing because getting bonuses from affiliate programs is not easy. We have to pay attention and do a lot, not just spread our affiliate link and hope many people register via the affiliate link. You can pay attention to what streamers do on YouTube or other social media, where they actively communicate with their followers and share their affiliate links. But I don't suggest you do the same thing as them because you have to be able to find a method that suits you.

Trying to play with affiliate links requires patience and a lot of trial and error because we have to have many methods we can use individually. By trying one by one, we can see which method works well and that's where we focus more on developing it.

That has been a common issue among affiliates, the casino changing their terms and eventually losing your referrals or losing a big cut of the earnings I have seen some complaints in the scam section, where an affiliate has been earning for many years from his hundreds of referrals but when they change their terms or create an update they've deleted the referrals, this is stealing, the affiliates have worked hard to recruit these people and its not an easy job recruiting gamblers much more a would be VIP sign up to your link.
I have a friend who had over 50 referrals but is not earning a lot because very few of them are active players and many of them only play once in a blue moon, you have no guarantee for each signup that you are going to make money, which is why some affiliates offer cash back to motivate his referrals to deposit and play.

I mean I think that was just pretty normal in a lot of casinos, most casinos were offering affiliate programs where you could earn a little amount of money for sure, I believed you could earn on affiliate depending on the policy of it since most of the time they needed to at least gamble on the website or do some kind of deposit in order to be counted as a affiliate it wasn't just inviting them and registering then you could easily earn a cent something like that since that can be abused you could easily just created a lot of accounts and count that as an affiliate so most of the time, the affiliate need to gamble in order to get the commission probably a small percentage of that.

If you didn't get any kind of reward you should read the rules to see what you did wrong, I mean there might be some kind of rules that you didn't follow that is why you didn't receive the reward if you sure that all of the rules are followed then you could report it directly to the casino.

An affiliate program is a legitimate strategy and you could actually earn a good amount of money here if you have some kind of group, YouTubers earn a good amount of money in affiliate programs through their subscribers.

The gambling industry has the most lucrative commission program IMO, so if you can't earn a substantial amount of money, it's specific to individual promoters. It can be because you're unlucky or have little traffic and authorship/reputation. I have like 10+ users joining with my link, and only 1 is a gambling addict and brings 99% of my revenue. So yeah, don't give up if you have quite a lot of users joining via your link since you only need a little bit of luck

Where did you promote it?
I have had some success in creating just the medium article for the casino but only 2 referrals signed up but was surprised one of them spent more than $2k.

It must depend on the kind of article you created and where you promoted the article. If you create an article like "How to Win Roulette with Strategies" and then you detail something in there, you might just get some money. This I tried. Promoting it to social media I think is an effective way.

As long as the gambling site you are promoting through your referral link is legit, you should be able to receive the reward for your effort. Legitimacy of the site should be the first thing you have to look at, then if you had already verified that, you should try to improve your starategy on how to become an effective Affiliate Program partner. Maybe try to look for youtube videos, search some articles that will help you so you'll reach your goal.

This isn't an easy journey to be honest, having a social media accounts with decent number of followers might be helpful as well, as you can influence them to sign up under your referral program. I hope you'll study more as the way I read your question, it seems like you are still a newbie in affiliate marketing.

I'm pretty sure you already reached out to the casino's customer support about the little affiliate commissions you're getting so I'm curious to know what was their reasoning. Sudden change in terms is one of the common answer but I've also seen some casino accusing the marketer of creating fake referrals. They blocked those accounts they thought as fake and paid only what they saw as legitimate.

I suppose what you want to know is why you are earning little with the affiliate program and why there are times when you don't receive anything even though you have referrals, if it is really these two questions that you want to know, then I would recommend that you go read the TOS of each casino you use to understand what criteria each casino you use has made in relation to affiliate payments, if you don't see this in the TOS of the casinos you use, then you need to contact casino support and ask questions to them. Another very important point is that you check what was the highest amount of money you have ever received from your referrals and what was the lowest amount of money you have ever received from your referrals

Then you also need to check the frequency of days you have received and the frequency of days you have not received, you also need to check in your account whether on the days you do not receive, it means that you do not receive any commission or you only receive little. After doing this, check if the same thing has happened in all the casinos where you have an account and referrals, this will help you to know if a certain casino is not paying you on purpose, there is a casino on this forum that has happened to stay changing the rules on affiliate commissions and not paying such commissions, I don't know if you are in the casino I'm talking about.

Anyway, if you can, you could post a list of all the casinos you use and have referrals for, and talk about the casinos that are causing you problems, that would make it easier for us to see if more people are having the same problem as yours and we could give you advice according to the situation, because it is very difficult to give advice without having a lot of data, without knowing which specific casino you are talking about

You didn’t mention what’s the status of your referral because your profit is base on the percentage of the house edge(rakeback) of your referral. You can’t earn huge affiliate commission if you don’t have whale or active referral player.

I’m assuming that you didn’t read the mechanics on how affiliate commission work. You should read the full terms so that you can compute your expected profit with your referral wager amount.

I used to do affiliate for cloudbet and they showed me that I was among the top affiliates for their site, generating hundreds of leads.
But after they change their terms, I would get no revenue.
If you want to promote a crypto casino, I would recommend picking a trusted one without open and non-addressed allegations against them.

Yes it's true that a provider can not honor their affiliate commissions owed to you, but a trusted one would never do such a thing. So pick the provider you are promoting carefully.

In affiliate program you need to own your own group where will be sharing your personal link to people over there to sign up you can only make a substantial when you share across your ref link to a larger community. It could be community created from Twitter or Facebook whenever you shares your link you get more people to sign up at the progress of that you get more people registered under you.
Maybe that will increase your earnings and you must adhere strictly to the rules of the casino or gambling site to enable you be able to make withdrawal from your referrals, sometime those casino do sets specific amount of ref you must have to be able to cash out from the site.

Describing this as a problem would indicate that you used to make money with it, or someone told you that you could make big bucks with it.

I don't know personally anyone who got paid big for it (then again big is subjective number here), or made a decent living with just it. You are getting a small fraction of the money inflow of people who you invited. It's going to be small pocket change or even less meant for rewarding you for new players. If you get lucky and invite whales, then it's another story i guess. But even with those, they would need to be playing and active. I am only using referral links for the casinos i am playing in anyhow. So everything is a bonus to my gambling budget.

Most of the times you probably won't make a penny as changes that people you manage to get high rollers registered that would play enough are pretty small.

Yeah I was on the same shoes as well mate, I was also an online casino affiliate few years back and it makes me earn few dollars through commisions. Since I am a type of guy that has no talent in encouraging everyone to jump-in like sharing my affiliate links on social media, the result was boring and it made me quit.

That depends on how much your referrals play,if you for example are in a casino where the referral commission is 10% and you have like 100 referrals,I mean active referrals you should be making a substantial hefty commission to yourself.Now I don't know what you call little amount of money as it is different for each of us but if I were in the above case and had 100 active referrals in a casino that pays 10% commission on every single bet they make I would be a very happy person as active gamblers who play slot machines can be a gold mine in this regard.In the end it all depends in the casino where you have the referrals,based on how they pay commissions.

Hi Everyone, 

I have an online gambling related question. I don't know if this is the right place to post such a question, so I'm sorry if I posted in the incorrect forum.

I'm a Gambling Affiliate and something is bothering for some time. In most of the casino affiliate programs that I registered to, I can make a little amount of money or nothing at all. Did anybody encountered a similar problem?

Thanks,
Idan
