Best Affiliates

[guala]

I am fairly new to becoming an affiliate and wanted to become an affiliate to a well paying and reliable affiliate program. I had a quick google but couldn't find anything good about the best affiliates.

The majority of my traffic comes from US, Malaysia, UK, Finland, Russia, Germany, Netherlands and Australia. I also get a bit of traffic from Canada and the Scandinavian Countries.

I was contacted by ReefMedia who seem to be a middle man, however, the CPA they offered was pretty high. For Sports Interaction they offered a CPA of $250, whereas if I went directly through SI then I would have gotten a CPA of $100.

Any help/advice will be super helpful.

hi

are you talking about bestaffiliate .c o m ?? In that case i have a really bad experince to share with you ,
i was a affiliate signed up 2006 or 2007 , then some year ago they suddenly changed system and woooppps my account is gone by the wind ...
lost forever , talked with the support and they cant find my account , i had a massive amount of players , poker , casino and bingo , all gone and lost .

so i dont recommend them , stay away from them.

I think they are looking for general recommendations, when using the search here at the GPWA they could find many great recommendations as well as compile a list of groups they may not want to work with.

Reefmedia are massive spammers, don't like their tactics and would not trust them running any account of mine, use your own accounts

I agree. Stay away from CPA. You'll find yourself to be 'earning thousands of dollars' and then, just at the end of the month, when you were about to get paid, all players will be removed, and you will be called out for fraud. Losing your commissions and so forth.

Revenue share is the way to go. And, find programs yourself. Those that approach you, let them approach you. For what reason you think they approach a beginning webmaster? Anyone that approaches you, with deals like that, want to sucker you in.

Do some research. There are plenty of people willing to help. And, there are good enough programs here on the forum too. See a name you like, go to Google, find it yourself. Then decide.

Another reason:

Cpa is once of payment of SOOOOOO much money. Wow. A whole $250 per person. Why on earth would they pay that to you? Because, they will earn (on most people) a tenfold of that over the time the person stays gambling.

Now let's say, you're getting 40% rev share over this dude, and over the course of 6 months, he loses $1000 a month. With a genuine affiliate program, this player would have now been worth 6 times 40% over $1000 to you. That's $2400 btw. Compare that to $250 once off.

What I do, is when I see a name here, to visit google and find the program myself.

It is what is wrong with this forum you know. It is aimed at 'signing up affiliates' for money, more than that it is here for anything else...

For example: The 1x1bet program for instance. There are so many scams etc. popping up, yet they are 'to be found on that list' recommended they should use. Because they are a platinum sponsor, they are on that list!

Knowing about all the scams etc. I personally would not sign up with them. Yet, they are here, yet GPWA is here, signing people up with their program??? A new webmaster might just sign up. Since he puts trust in the programs he finds here.

Not knowing that the programs here are not actually based / judged on 'performance' but on how much they are willing to pay as sponsor fee.

Just saying.

I agree with you i a lot of points, but thats kind naive! If he lose $1000 you forgot to calculate the deductions like admin fees, licence fees, banking fees or progressive contribution and what the hell.

Secondly the majority of depositors don´t lose $6000 but they spend maybe $70 to 90 ...

I wrote that somewhere before: You need to have a plan. Maybe match a 10% ROI or to earn a $30 eCPM or $2000 commission a month or $1 CPC on you whole traffic ...

THEN you can choose the payment plans that matching your traffic (amount of traffic, value by player ... ) and your goals! Otherwise you´ll ending up in the myth that RS are always better and CPA is a evil trap by the operators.

Yes, a casino (should) have the same plans and for sure they try to buy customers as cheap as possible and yes, if they paying you $200 CPA for a depositer and this guy lose $6000 you let some money on the ground.

BUT they pay you $200 for players with a $30 or $50 deposit too!

I personally go for revenue share.

Example: I know a guy who with one program has averaged around $4K per month in commissions earned, for 5 years non stop.

Each month. 60 months in a row.

To make this on CPA: $4k / $250 p player is 16 new depositing players each month, for five years. Each month.

I also know that this dude did not bring in 16 players each month. Actually he brought in far less than that.

That's why I would always choose rev share.

Mind you, it has its cons as well. If one player wins big, say bye bye to your monthly anticipated income levels.. But, in the end, who always wins? Right. We do. Because we're on the right side of the coin. The casino always wins.

Yay!

You mean ... Google's 'list'.... Right??

Hi. Isn't it worthy considering CPA combined with Revenue. Because for a newcomer earning some fresh cash is important. Revenue can take some time to start working for you.

rev share forever

Hello guala,

You can have a hybrid deal which is comprised of both a Revenue Share deal and a CPA deal combined. I know of an affiliate who has a hybrid deal with Revenue Giants. That affiliate has a 35% Revenue Share deal for life with this casino plus this affiliate is also given credited with a $10 CPA deal for every FTD (First Time Depositor). So if this affiliate makes say $500 on this 35% Revenue Share deal and brings in 10 or 11 new first time depositors, their actual commission to be paid out will be $500 plus $100 or $110 based on those 10 or 11 FTDs. Thanks.

I hope that helps you.

Hi azbookmakers,

Those are my thoughts exactly. Thanks.

[sweetbet]

If you're on a $250 CPA and you bring in a player that spends $25, the sportsbook won't be happy and will eventually end the CAP deal if it's costing them money and they're not making a profit.

If you're on a $250 CPA and you bring in a player that spends $2,500 the sportsbook will be happy but you would've made much more money if you had a 25% revenue share deal.

The fairest and most profitable payment model imo is revenue share. The sportsbook pays a % of whatever the player spent and you will earn more money in the long run than any CPA deal.

Revenue Share is good for everyone.

I suppose that Revenue Share is in general terms, the more practical deal to stick with for everyone in the long haul.
