Topic: What is the difference between Referral and Affiliate? - page 2. (Read 418 times)

Like all the explanations from the other members, there is a difference but they are still working on a company if you are affiliated you are more like a partner of the project on bigger terms than when you are working in their referral system, as an affiliate, you don't need a code all the time you can be an influencer where they reward you based on your status, but if you are part of their referral system your rewards is very specific like you are going to get 10% of your referral wage.

^ Because this question is very common and even when you research on Google you will find out the answer.
But still, you are thankful instead, there are too many users trying to define what is the difference between an affiliate and the referral that you have asked for. Though I don't know what is your purpose for asking this, is if you are trying to figure out they are almost the same goal but have different meanings. So don't be surprised if there is someone curious about what you have asked because it is obvious that it is very to answer it.

I think it wasn't simple as people will join you or sign up under you. You won't get rewarded that way but the rewards can only come once those people that you referred actively play on the casino. Your earnings will depend if how big their wagers are but the bigger the wager is the more the rewards that you will reap.

You think having a lot of siblings is a good thing only of this purpose? Lol but what about the sacrifices of the person that raises them. You didn't think about that? But you can still refer other people other than your siblings. Affiliates needs attention but what about referral? You also need it. This is the tricky part about this business.

I always thought that these 2 are the same. But since you started this topic, I had to look in google for it's different. I won't include the definition in this post but I will try to explain it by example based on my full understanding here.

Referral: Your referral link which you used mostly to send to your friends, relatives, etc. Yourself if you're not a streamer, vlogger, etc.
Affiliate: It is bigger type. It is used widely by streamers, vloggers, etc. wherein they advertise the site at the same time of gaining commissions from everyone who registered using their referral link.

No, both of them. Affiliate link, can be considered as personal link too since it has unique code/numbers provided just for you.

The main difference is when you say referral link, that means you are an existing user of the casino who just want to refer someone to get paid, then you can still play and do stuff in the casino.

While being an affiliate uses different platform/website to get those affiliate media assets, generate unique links, and you can even request on what kind of banner caption you want to make ofc, its free of charge.

Both can be used to attract user and for making them attract the person who will do  this may get some additional benefit for example the user may get referral commission for using the referral link of the person but if the user want to promote as affiliate then s/he cant share any personal referral link. The main difference is that for referral user can share referral link (personal link) while affiliate cant.

I was curious about other opinions in this thread. Is there a problem asking such things? You should go and live your life and stop wasting it reading every single comment in this forum.

Like coin-investor said, affiliate is a term commonly used by companies whom one partnered with as a marketer, while the term "referral" is common with medical institutions, like referring someone to a particular hospital for treatment of a kind of illness.

So using the two analogies above, I will say that affiliate is partnering with a company as their recruiter of customers, like as it is in the job of affiliate marketers, your job is to introduce the company to potential customers, this customers dont have to know you, and you don't have to know them, affiliate marketing can be in the form of face to face conversation with potential customers or publishing contents on the internet (with your special link) about the company and making it attractive enough so readers can become customers of the company.

On the other hand, referral is more like a family and friends thing, normally, you don't refer someone you don't know, to some people, referring a person is like surety-ing the person, this means you have to know the person you are referring, there are some platforms where if you refer a person to that platform, and that person commits a crime and disappears, you who referred the person will be held accountable to know the where about of the person you refered and to provide him or her so he or she can face the law, so referral, (on a normal circumstance), is the lite version of standing as surety for someone.

You asked the very same question multiple times in numerous threads, including my thread about gambling affiliation - I am confused?

Referral system's main goal is to let the existing user invite other people and they will have benefit from it, at the same time, the person they also invited will benefit if they will use the code provided for them. Typically, referral system uses code whereas the person invited will input and then later on, he/she will enjoy the perks in accordance to the terms and conditions.

Meanwhile, signing up as an affiliate at the very beginning will give you the advantage to earn something if someone would sign up using your link. This is usually held by a third party wherein a specific percentage is given to the affiliates that serve as their compensation in spreading about the specific product or services. If referral is through codes, affiliate mostly uses links to be clicked by the person invited. Once their link is clicked and the invited made a purchase or fulfilled what's asked, the affiliate will earn from it.

These two are different but  between these two referral and affiliates only thing they are same is you can gain profit in the end based on how many people used your referral links or joined the platform. In referral its a good profit is many people will used the code or links and you are advantage if you have many siblings or you're very known man. An in affiliates you need catch their attention to joined your platform.

Referral is different than Affiliate campaign. With Referral campaign, you simply put a ref link and invite people to join a platform. It is simple.

In contrast, with Affiliate campaign, there are more rules, more tiers to earn passive income from people you successfully invite to join a platform. In general, there are possibly higher income from affiliate campaign if you have a big (high traffic) website, a big community etc. KOLs, influencers earn a lot of passive money from affiliate campaign.

Additionally, people at top tier of affiliate campaign can be provided privileges from the company, better and faster support, gifts, etc.

Don't post with referral link on the forum. It is not allowed here

As far as I know, it's the same, it's the same as looking for people to be referred to one of the websites to register
and get rewarded that amount of money
but after I read above I understand better there is a slight difference between referrals and affiliates

You are right. I just forget that there are like celebrities that are affiliated with that casino or just connected to it but they haven't invested in it. It is just like they advertise it because they are affiliated with it. It is not all about having money to invest, but it is about giving something to each other and recognizing each other. Referral is easy to discuss.

I don't think that there is really a need to invest just to become affiliated with a casino. But on the other side, maybe yes but more on investing your time and effort as you work on your network to be a productive affiliate just like working on referrals.

Being affiliated is like having that direct relation to the casino, it's limited to the few people that have given the signal by the casino.

Whilst for referrals, it's for every user.

Affiliate is really about partnership with the casino or the website. It is more profitable, I think, because you need to invest in it. You need to withdraw, I think, your money from that casino. It is more like a stake. Where the US referral system is concerned, you are just a member, and one of your tasks or so that you will be able to earn or get something in return is asking other people to sign up or join in the casino under your referral.

Affiliate programs are different from the referral because it involves more investment, strategies and time but the rewards will be higher, usually when a casino starts an affiliate program then users can create their own strategies to bring traffic to the site and get paid for every registration meanwhile the referral is just being the part of casino and ask your known ones to play there and you will get rewards for every bets they are losing.

With affiliates, you can do something more to increase your profits with the help of the one who took you in. On referrals, the one who referred you earns while you spend, and you can't do anything to change this way, or to even make profits. It's way more beneficial to be an affiliate than to be a referral for most scenarios, so if someone sends you an affiliate link, better register on those instead of referral links.

Every customer can be a referral but not all customers are affiliated with a site, let me explain further.
Once you sign up on a casino you go to the profile you find your referral link there you share and anyone that registered using your referral link will become your downline but in other to become an affiliate client you need to sign up especially for that with documents and your commission is paid on a periodic template.

These are the same to invite other people and at the same time to gain the benefits it has different called into the different purpose but mostly the referral is the most common term. In affiliate you can get a small portion of the deposit of the person you invite, in referral system you invite people by that you can get a reward but you cant get a percentage of their deposits.
