Looking for Advice on Finding Partnerships

[playwhattheyplay]

Hi everyone,
I’m new to the casino affiliate space and recently launched. The idea behind my site is to help users track Instagram and YouTube gambling influencers, view their stats, and—most importantly—find where they can play the same slot games online that they see these influencers playing in brick-and-mortar casinos.
As a newcomer, I’ve been struggling to find affiliate programs that are open to working with a new site like mine. Many of the larger programs seem to prioritize established traffic or require tracking solutions that involve cookie popups, which I’d prefer to avoid.
I’d love to hear from more experienced members here:

• Are there any casino affiliate programs that are more open to partnering with newer sites?
• Has anyone found success working with no-cookie or privacy-friendly tracking solutions?
• Any general advice on how to position my site to make it more attractive to potential partners?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Looking forward to learning from you all.
Thanks in advance!
— Chris

While there are solutions from some operators that have signup methods without cookies, you should want the cookies anyway.

Cookies help affiliates preserve signup that do not happen immediately, such as when a visitor follows you link to a casino, reads a bit but then does not sign up right away. For whatever reason, they might end up back at the site you referred them to hours, days and sometimes even weeks later and they decide to sign up. If that visitor has not followed someone else's affiliate link in the time frame, you may well get credit for the signup.

Some programs offer custom signup codes, postbacks and other methods, but most programs worth promoting will set cookies on visitors.

As for popups, not really sure where you are seeing this as I have not seen affiliate programs that require popups often if ever.

I understand cookies, thats not the issue- i have signed up for a few of the bigger affiliates and no one has taken a chance. no responses.

i was expecting to be a few more emails coming back from registrations

Maybe start with a read through the various sponsors here at the GPWA. Looking closer at the Welcome thread of each one, see if the geos you are targeting as well as other highlights about the programs is a match for what you are looking for.

Additionally, if you mention the geo's you want to target, you may also get more specific recommendations or programs to reach out to.

Not all programs may feel you are a good fit for them at this time, and if so, try another.

"Any general advice on how to position my site to make it more attractive to potential partners?"

I'd say you need to build up your topic authority, make it more attractive in the eyes of search engines (and to users).

And your core/fundamental topic is 'casino game streaming'.

So, think about every aspect of casino game streaming that someone that watches/follows casino streamers would want to know (and whatever you can work out that they'd want to know but don't even know it yet).

Work out how to structure the delivery of all that info to best effect and in an intuitive, ordered way. Write/compile it all, and publish.

Your target? Become the global expert in casino game streaming/streamers.
