I hope that this won't get dismissed because I kind of get confused between affiliate and referral? Are they similar or is their a distinction between the two. I wanted to try this too because some of my friends do this and they earna decent money out of it.

I never noticed that question of yours - apologies!

The main difference between affiliate programs and referral programs is that affiliate partners do not necessarily need to be "customers" of a company. Especially in crypto gambling space, there still are a lot of operators who mix up things, who do not have a proper affiliate program, where the actual affiliate needs to open a player account in order to promote them etc.

Referral programs are basically for "regular" people who want to get little rewards for referring friends over to a site.

We are "forced" by casinos to use the referral system till they decide that we are eligible for affiliate program. What's your opinion on this?
What you do mean about "forced"? Literally or on your own kind of understanding or impression? Come to mind that its just optional about that referral system whether you do like to invite others or not
but we do know that convincing someone to play isnt something simple as it sounds but there are people who do spam out their links and affiliate programs is something
that you cant see often.Sometimes its been offered sometimes its open for everyone.

"Forced" = you need to bring a ton of players and they need to wager a lot of money to get into their affiliate system. With affiliation you can increase your cut with the casino and have more "favors" from that actual casino that ur advertising.

Affiliates usually contact the advertiser directly to negotiate contracts that are more profitable than the commission from regular users signing up under a referral link.

The internet is saturated with referral link ads so an affiliate would negotiate for better rates that are also priced per click.

Some people might think becoming a good online gambling affiliate is very hard, others might think it´s easy and results can be achieved just by posting affiliate links here and there. Well, truth is: Doing well as a gambling affiliate is easier than you might think - no rocket science - but it takes some effort and even more importantly, the will to learn how to create solid gambling related websites and start earning money.



People are looking for good and independent reviews when they are researching for gambling sites or any sites that they would like to invest their money and time if you can provide them with real user's experience, and tell them beforehand what they could expect from a particular site, you will have their trust and your chances is high that they will become your recruit, people wants to join in a project where they are introduced by people who know very well about the site.

By the way efialtis - I see that some casinos such as Crypto.games show a list of their partners on their site. So, do you think regular referral link ads make better money or will I make more by contacting them directly by email with partnership offers?

Some problems with regular referral links include not knowing if the casino will let you withdraw your earnings without KYC, since after all you didn't gamble anything, and unwilling to perform the KYC or living in a restricted jurdistinction.
Such a cool thread and so much information to be had from this.

In case you guys are unaware Efialtis has been banned from the forum for 60 days and if you want more details, you may visit this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/60-days-ban-appeal-5346219

Upset about the news but I guess he made a mistake and we cannot deny it, as unfortunate as it might be Sad

Affiliate marketing is such an underrated part of the crypto gambling industry because if you just get one good player under you and he is by chance a whale, you will easily earn enough for the rest of your life that you don't have to do anything else. I was able to refer some big players earlier at PD and although they are inactive now, I remember earning excellent profit from them all.

It`s always a good idea to reach out to potential business partners when looking to work together - in some cases you may be able to get a better affiliate deal, many times you could have a hard time since they would ask you to bring in a certain volume. Even then, if I were you, I would definitely contact them. As soon as you are able to send more players, you would surely be able to get an improved deal.

And yeah - you would of course also be able to get answers on your questions. Normally, withdrawing affiliate commissions shouldn`t ever be a problem for the reasons you brought up.

Let me know if you need help with anything specifically but listen to me - register that domain, make a little landing page and let it age, now! Wink

Wow. can't believe it's already been 8 months since I got my domain registered. No ICANN woes either. Time really does fly doesn't it  Smiley

Anyway, I came to ask you about the mailing list you have on your site - how necessary do you think it's going to be to gain referrals in the long term? I'm asking this because I'm busy upgrading my almost-ready site and am not sure whether to invest in a mailing list service (Creative Mail in particular) right away or put it aside for later.

It's a news aggregator by the way, so gambling's served as a side section. I'm really not making a BTCGOSU competitor Wink

Can you believe I have only realized your post now... Sorry about that!

I am personally quite a fan of newsletter lists, even in 2021. Wink With BTCGOSU, we have been capturing a good amount of emails and stats show that people like getting some updates via email every once in a while.

Talking about time flying... oh man, it`s been 13 months since GOSU launch... Crazy that I started with thread in April last year and there were no signs of BTCGOSU at that point. Cheesy

Time flies, doesn't it? Half a year passed since I created my BTCGOSU ANN thread here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/btcgosu-your-trusted-guide-to-the-best-bitcoin-casinos-5262141

That was also the time when my "real" website went live - I uploaded some basic stuff a little earlier but the real launch of https://www.btcgosu.com happened when I created my ANN thread here on Bitcointalk.

Half a year later, I can tell that we are on a very good way but of course nowhere close to where we want to be.

Just thought I would give a mini update and let everyone know that you can of course ask questions if there's anything you would like to know. Smiley

If you are really sure about that - I mean that you want to give this a try - go for it now, even if you only put up a landing page now - just register the domain for a few bucks and put something on there --> let the domain age, this will help you a lot when you decide you are ready to really work on it. I wish I had registered my BTCGOSU domain earlier - would have saved me lots of time now. Age of a domain is super important for big G...

Also - you wouldn't have to start "big" right away and the starting costs really aren't that much - register a domain for 10 bucks, buy a cheap hosting for another 10 bucks, get yourself a free wordpress theme (there are really nice free WP themes) and write the content. I guess you are thinking about some sort of news blog?

Yep, a kind of blog where I hire people to write the content for me.

About the domains, if I were to register one right now, how many months will it take for Google to take it seriously? I have web hosting already so making a landing page won't be a problem, I just don't want surprises where I leave a domain idle for a few months only to find out Google won't index it high when I'm ready to use it.

Domains are super cheap when you pay for them once a year, but regardless I'm hoping Google doesn't make people wait that long.



Has ICANN ever contacted you about the domains of your sites by the way? I'm not sure how interested they are in investigating affiliate sites but this will give me a heads up to know what to expect in the future.

Google won't rank you highly just because a domain is "aged" but, the age of a domain is definitely one of the various factors and a domain that has been "live" for a couple of months will definitely make your life much easier when you start building the site for real.

Generally speaking, you need to expect at least one year before google starts giving you the rankings your site actually deserves.

Nope, I have never problems with ICANN and that is something I really wouldn't worry about...

Would you be interested in me continuing this thread/guide?

I am currently thinking about starting a new project and (assuming I will go for it), we could even do something like a Journal - how long will it take to build a XXX gambling affiliate site and how long until we start making money? This might even be more interesting than "just" educational posts?

I just saw your group of guides, and they are extremely useful to me as one of my long term plans is to launch an affiliate news site (not really affiliate gambling but close enough). This is not going to happen any time soon though, because I need to secure funding for it.

I benefited from the website design guide the most, I suck at programming websites and design so I end up making old fashioned 90s sites with bare HTML.

I agree with you that Wordpress is a must-use for websites, but the large cache of themes for sale; I wonder if there's a way to buy them with bitcoin.

Seriously, I highly recommend going the wordpress route instead of trying to code stuff yourself - I have been there... Cheesy

I am not sure regarding payment for themes via BTC, would have to google.

Knowing the trail that each user leaves in its path is difficult ... it is like the comet that appears every certain orbit and you have to take advantage of it, I think the comet is returning !!
I like the idea in practice, as you mentioned ... in my case I would like to start one in Spanish* "profe" (abbreviation for teacher in Spanish)
Hey !! that this idea (crude) arises with the emotion of your post, so, you have inspired me. you have a successful site and you still take the trouble to stop by to help others.

I can't again just watch the comet go by... just to say, when do you happen again?

Yes please continue and I also want to earn from affiliate program but I think I am lacking of something,
I used to promote some gambling site through my affiliate link and not just gambling sites I also promote some HYIP back in the old days but I didn't get any person to register using my link.
I had some person's who would comment or ask about the sites but I would soon find out that they are registered to it without using my affiliate links and some of my online friends told me that there are some who would cut-off the affiliate links and only copy the websites address,
This is why I chose to stop promoting any website, Any tips on how I could make them use my link?
