Best Casino Affiliate Program for Rev Share?

[Ahmed]

I'd like to get the members of GPWA feedback on who they see as the best online casino affiliate program, based on the criteria of :

- strong rev. share (ex. +30%).
- payouts / payments (timely payouts, limitations, expectations, max. amounts)
- rev. share restrictions
- strong affiliate manager dialogue / communication
- affiliate terms of service issues?

We're seeking a good payout on rev. share, but unfamiliar which online casino is worthy of aligning with in terms of payouts on time, payout volume restrictions, rev. share restrictions (ex. lifetime and min. traffic per month), etc.

Your help is appreciated.

Please be more specific.

What country / language is your target market?
What is the main focus of your site? General casino, bonus oriented, slots, blackjack, live dealer?
Etc...

"We offer up to 35% rev share or hybrid deals to suit. ... and I like to think of myself as a good people dialog'er" * kidding

This is really a loaded question as all operators would certainly fall into these category points in one way or another.
Best to say what you are looking for - big brands, niche brands, software preference, service levels etc.

I'm sure you will see loads of posts and opinions rolling in - generally everyone here is a rather friendly bunch and will share their experiences willingly.

Hope you find the answers you are looking for

Hi Ahmed,

Some clarifications will indeed be most welcome regarding your expectations and what you wish to target.

But in the meantime, I guess our program does satisfy your requirement:

- 35% Base Rate Commission with possibility of increase up to 50%. (Note that we are currently offering a Rev Share + CPA deal up to the end of December)
- Payments effected every month by the 15th at latest
- Lifetime Revenue
- No Player Minimums
- No NCO

You are welcome to visit out site for more information: http://www.wagerjunction.com/en-GB/Default.aspx

Regarding Affiliate - AM dialogue, I am always available on the forum and via email.

Feel free to get back to me at anytime.


Cheers,

Thanks all.

Country: USA / Canada, perhaps some UK. I assume by saying USA this will limit our opportunities to secure a solid reputable affiliate program?

Main focus: general casino, specific casino games (slots and tables)

My concern is to read stuff similar to the recent Bodog update whereby new affiliates see their rev. share rates drop to 10% if minimums are maintained.

In our case, we'll have 'timely' promotions that would ideally see spikes in sign ups, then quite for a month or two. This is definitely not what we want. Seems an unfair practice IMHO - we may send a few whales, or high volume of avg. players, then get penalized cause this isn't maintained for awhile. IMHO we refer someone, we expect to receive compensation as agreed upon for the referral on the rev. share.

With some casino sites, or hybrids, is their a max. limit of payout that is allowed? Ex. the casino can only payout a max of $10K a month, or is an issue on the processor side of how much they'll accept?

When you say...
- Lifetime Revenue (any restrictions what so ever? )
- No Player Minimums (I assume this answers my concern above, or any restrictions?)
- No NCO - what is this?

And I'll throw it out there to the community, what are the top 3 or 5 concerns or issues we should be aware of before signing up? Last thing we want is to refer a couple dozen players in the first month, and find out some caveat restricts our earning potential.

Thanks all. Truly appreciate this.

Hi Ahmed,

Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately I do not have access to the forum over the weekend.

To get back to the matter at hand:

- Lifetime Revenue: No restrictions whatsoever. Your commission is a % share of the net casino profit made from every real player that signs up from your links. This benefit extends over the lifetime of the player - you "own" that player for his playing lifetime across all the casinos within Wagerjunction.

- No player minimums: Here again no restrictions. Our program does not require you to bring in a certain number of players per week/month/trimester or whatsoever. Even if there are no new sign ups for a period you will receive your commission.

- No Negative Carry Over: We have a policy of not carrying over any negative balances caused by Player Win. That means that if your players win in one month and your balance is negative, the following month we will reset your balance to zero.

I hope the above answers you queries. If you need any further info, you can drop me a pm or contact me directly on affiliates@wagerjunction.com.

Hi Ahmed,

I think our group, Mainstreet Affiliates would make a great choice for you as we do accept US and players.

We run on RTG software, and pay a flat 40% commission with no negative carryovers or bundling. We are recognized as one of the fastest paying programs month after month paying on the first or second day of the month (depending on method). Being around with casino brands since 1999, we are well established and respected in the industry.

We offer revenue for the lifetime of the players, with no player minimums, or limitations on your payouts.

We do also accept Int’l players but our main focus is US market. We have four great brands to choose from:

Slotsplus.com
SunPalaceCasino.com
LasVegasUSACasino.com
VegasCasinoOnline.com

Please let me know if we can set something up and I would be happy to assist.

Regards,

Jason

Thanks everyone for the insight.

Question

- Does the industry see better conversions and/or retention, with casino flash (onsite) games vs. casino software downloads?

- for payouts, are their any max limits that you payout, or the payment processor (ex. moneybookers or another) will payout and release? Ex. if we earn $2K in first month in rev. share, is the full 100% paid out (or is there a max), and on the other side, do any particular payment processors have their limits on withdrawls or deposits. On that note, is there a preferred top 2 processors we should set up with first?

Thanks again everyone. We're 90% there on making a decision to sign up.

We will pay you 100% of what you earn monthly - no limits.

If you are located outside of the US, I would recommend you sign up with either MoneyBookers or Neteller. We have affiliates with these two methods paid out the first day of the following month.

Note however MB or NT may have limits on your payouts....
