Earning from affiliates (referrals) definitely possible, and I envy you guys who can freely do content creation about gambling in your country. For example, in Indonesia, creating promotional content for gambling is forbidden. It sucks! Anyway, I tried affiliate programs for exchanges and e-commerce, and yes, it can give me some money.
From what I see, successful affiliates often are thought leaders, celebrities, and ones who create communities. That said, if you are trusted, then people will be more comfortable to click your links and decide to support you. Plus, it works better if there is a bonus for users who registered via your links.
Hey,
well, what exactly do you mean when saying gambling content creation is forbidden? In general, promotion of online gambling is still missing regulation (almost everywhere) and even here in Europe, there are EU-laws but the countries just dont give a sh**... In Germany for example, bookmakers and casinos are running tv ads and are being promoted in football stadiums etc. - the very same operators do not have legal licenses though, you see, its wild wild west... Needless to say that the promotion of crypto gambling is completely out of space - who would/could stop you from setting up a website for example in English and promote crypto casinos, no matter where you are located?
Regarding bonuses for users that use your links - yeah, all affiliates can promote the welcome bonus to their website visitors. Some are negotiating custom (and better deals) in order to attract more users. Giving additional incentives is mostly forbidden - what I mean is: Sign up through our links, receive a $100 welcome bonus at XXX Casino and we will send you another $20. Affiliate programs usually dont want that because affiliates are abusing the system.
Too bad man - is that because you always navigated directly to the operator´s sites without having ever before clicked on a link on some review site?
You would be the type of player affiliates would love to refer!
Hehe, every now and then I would visit a bookmaker via a link from a review site. But before I signed up, I would delete the ref manually
So maybe they noticed some traffic from that link, but no sign-up. Most of the time I was told about new or good bookmakers from friends or would read about other users playing at certain bookmakers in a forum. So I rarely visited review sites and thus didn't have a closer look into this business.
I hope this helps for now? As mentioned before, I will soon write an extensive post on the topic of the different payment plans that are available in this industry.
It does, thanks. Looking forward to that post with the payment plans. I guess you know that dude from the (back then) orange german betting forum. He was running his forum like a dictator and all because he wanted to have all those referrals; making money with his users. Since that time, I am a bit ambivalent about affiliates. That was my thought behind the win-win-win question. Because I actually think it is win-win-win (if all is legit), which is quite amazing.
I knew you would be one of those guys and guess what... I am, too.
Clearing cookies before signing up except if I like the work the respective website did by providing high quality content - then I dont mind them earning for my referral.
Of course I know the guy and he sucked big time and that´s exactly what I meant - as long as affiliates are ethical, we are really talking about win-win-win for everyone involved! Unfortunately, many affiliates arent working that way and even the big ones are promoting lame operators for the $$$$$... Nowadays, there are billion dollar companies who run hundreds of gambling affiliate sites and I am always shocked to see they are promoting scammers. Then again, thats exactly where any new affiliate can jump in and why there is a big chance to succeed, simply by being honest and ethical.
