    Default US affiliates

    If a casino or casino group does not accept US players, does it allow US affiliates?

    Short answer - yes
    However there are a few exceptions.
    The bigger question is... how do US affiliates get paid from those programs? If you plan on doing biz with any casino, make sure they offer an affordable payment solution to US affs.

    Thanks for the response!

    I just realized it would be tough to get any reviews written for them when I cant play there. Really not looking to "buy" reviews from anyone.

    It depends on what type of reviews that you intend to write. If you plan to focus on graphics, games, functionality and payment options, then I guess you can always play for fun. Then again, if your site traffic is US based, no point on promoting sites who don't accept US players.

    This is true.

    I do plan on targeting US players and maybe expand once my site is up and running and I get the hang of this whole thing.

    Like you said, it would be pointless in the beginning.

    Reviews can be helpful, but the only thing I looked for when I was a player was a good bonus and reviews on their payout times (how long does it take? do they pay? yadda yadda). And we want to give the player what they want, right? But a good solid review is nice also.

    I'm still new here and learning. My site is probably a couple weeks from being finished (learning web design, SEO, and a little photoshop all on my own is rough lol)

    Thanks again

    We accept US affiliates into our programs that do not accept US players, however your conversion rates will be nil if your traffic is solely US-based.

    Payment options are available, in the Income Access network we offer payment via Intercash card or Moneybookers in USD.

    As for player reviews, often affiliate managers can help you out in that area and provide content.

    Hi Tommyb,

    And welcome to the world of onling gaming. Your site's name is bonushunting101.com? This sounds more like bonus whoring. It may be beneficial for you to find out from Affiliate Programs how they feel about this form of marketing. It may not be the best strategy in building long-term relationships with Programs or building your own net cash.

    Good luck with your new venture.

    We do not accept new US players, however do accept US affiliates. We even have an option to add a bounce back link so that if you happen to send us any banned traffic we will automatically forward it onto a link of your choice (even if it's a competitor). That way you wont lose out on any banned traffic by promoting our brands

    If you need more info, let me know!
