LinkedIn has been surprisingly effective for iGaming affiliate outreach in 2026. Direct messages to affiliate managers convert much better than cold emails in my experience. The key seems to be leading with value — we offered free interviews to industry professionals which generated backlinks and relationships. Anyone else finding LinkedIn more valuable than traditional affiliate forums for new partnerships?

Went to an SEO conference recently and they highlighted Linked-In as a platform that is highly effective for this. Need to start utilising it better myself.
