    Do you gamble your affiliate income?

    Some affiliate programs pay you through the player account and it makes you wonder if they want you to gamble your affiliate income.

    Do you gamble your affiliate income at all or always withdraw?

    Nope I don't. Think some of my colleagues would be a little annoyed it I did!

    I much prefer to do it myself than employ people so absolutely, yes, a proportion gets gambled. So many slot games these days it's a fun way to get acquainted with them too. I do probably 5-10 casinos (old and new) every month.

    Sometimes yes, about 30%-40% of the income goes to gambling.

    I always withdraw mine, but I'll very occasionally have a quick £20 spin if it has been a good month, could make it better

    Interesting responses so far. I was expecting a 100% 'no' across the board.

    However, I've recently been gambling affiliate income in one USA facing sportsbook account because there were difficulties in withdrawing the funds (this was around the time of the disappearance of BetEd.com and other problems).

    I've turned my paltry $110-ish commission into $350-ish, so I'm expecting to pay tax on $110 commission and no tax on my $240 gambling winnings. I'm in the UK and there's no tax on betting.

    To those that do gamble affiliate earnings ... what business expense line do you put the losses down to?
    I think it perfectly goes under food and beverages .....flush your earnings / waste through the toilet.....to get rid of it..........

    This siphon action rapidly (5-7 seconds) pulls” nearly all of the water and waste in the bowl and the on-rushing tank water down the drain—it flushes.

    Supplies? LOL

    Nah, I don't waste that money on giving it back in most cases.
    But if I get appx $10-20 from a small casino on my player acct I might slot it up since it's not worth to transfer.
    If I win.. Oh happy day!

    And that is something to be proud of?
    Most of us here are in this business just because it's a profitable business to promote, not because we're gambling addicted....

    Yes, mainly on sports betting. You need to practice what you preach.
