Does a casino really pay a Listing Fee on affiliate website?

The great guys don't have to pay anything as they deliver big revenue ,back in the good old days of 2012 , I did not ask but was offered guaranteed $22000 a month to give a group top 5 and I made more than that every month .They are no longer in business and it was a sad day for me when they closed shop . I never have asked Rewards or Deckmedia Group for anything ,these guys have a great reputation and if you have traffic they will convert.

thats an interesting idea. though i assume that most just vanish when you ask (not a bad thing) while those that persist, message you endlessly after paying the fee?

Those that paid the fee tended to be more serious so we didn't have that issue much. We only did a handful of listing fees with white labels and most of those ended up getting their own licenses and setting up their own platforms shortly after, showing they were the more serious and properly funded ones anyway. We were clear that listing fees did not guarantee FTDs only exposure and any that pester thereafter just got a canned response to that effect.

This is all going back a few years now though and things change so I don't know how successful listing fees are now. We certainly get a lot less programs contacting us so there is less opportunity to do them.

We tried it the other way round and it settled the question for us. On a crypto site with 26 brands we never ask for a listing fee, but new brands ask us for placement every week. Our answer is always the same: you go to the bottom of the list until you have a payment history with us, then you climb on what you actually pay per click. Two things happened. The brands that were only after a vanity spot vanished, exactly as Mattbar says. The ones that stayed asked what it would take to move up, and that conversation ends in a better rev share, not a fee. A fee buys them a position for a month; a higher share pays us for as long as their players last. The other reason we don't take fees: the moment a position is bought, the ranking is no longer ours, and readers notice that faster than operators do.

Increase the organic traffic enough through unique content and hopefully you will have brands reach out to you for collaboration rather than vice versa.
