South African Casino Value

[HarryBowden]

I've recently set up a number of agreements with the offshore South African casino sites. Initial results have been very encouraging, hundreds of registrations coming through in the first month. However, the conversion to FTD rate has been shocking. Some operators i've generated 250+ regs for and not one has converted.

Is this a common problem in South Africa? Anyone else experiencing?

Are these no deposit bonus offers?
Or are the bulk of the keywords used to generate these signups using the word "free" "no deposit" or other keywords that would not have a focus of depositing to play?

Fact, poor statistics. However, as you say it is only the first month. A bit of a short period. Maybe the stats will still update as to what deposits etc.
I know the situation that many registrations for strong keywords on sites where there is not even a word about bonuses let alone free, are empty. People register, some of them do KYC verification and still don't deposit.

Partnering is also a bit of a gamble, it seems that you can have such a black series and then it will turn around.

Is it Harry or Vincent? Inquiring minds would like to know...

The South African market is pretty good. Give it some time and try to focus on deposit bonuses.

Thanks a lot for the feedback guys. Rankings are primarily for no deposit related terms, although this hasnt been fully intentional, its just what's ranking. Starting to see some degree of conversion from some of the licenced operators, which I'm presuming is down to the better deposit methods. Also wondering how long it will take to start making some money with them as the bonus costs are massive! Hoping players will hang around.

My advice would be to just keep it going. If you've managed to start getting the lower competition "free" keywords ranking well enough to get a bunch of regs... then the better keywords you're focusing on will come soon. The SA market is a decent market. It's better than most would expect. Sounds like patience is your key here.
