How big is this industry?

Hi guys,

is there much room in the affiliate business? It seems like most places I read about online gambling there is a charity or cause trying to shut it down. Along with the size of the affiliate industry nowadays with countless affiliate websites, is it really worth someone new joining the mainstream gaming sectors? like Poker, Casino, Bingo etc?

One goes one another up, unless Google is keeping more clicks for their ads and properties. So room is made

No one is ever going to stamp out gambling - too much money in it (for the operators and the jurisdictions that regulate it). Other reasons too.

So the question is not if there is a market available... but whether you can get your piece of the affiliate pie from it.

...and that depends on whether your are either...good enough, clever enough, knowledgeable enough, devious/blackhat enough, just lucky (debatable), have something original, can throw money at it...or can just put your head down, use all or most of the above to varying degrees, and keep going irrelevant of how hard it is, or how little you make from it (until you do make something).

I'll bet you that many affiliates would say that resiliency is a strong requirement.

And remember there are other avenues than gambling. You'll find affiliate opportunities in various subjects.

Absolutely, I think if one can make it in the gambling sector things other industries should be a doddle.

You will just have to work harder to gain traffic but there will always be money available

There is room with hard work and smarts.
