Online Slots affiliates - I need some help please

[PhilF (ex-WhichBingo)]

My market is online bingo however I have a friend who is looking to get into the online slots market as an affiliate. He has an idea for a slots site but I have no idea on this but said I'd ask around.

I've seen it around somewhere but don't know how it works/who supplies it - he wants to have free play on his site for lots of slots games with links that then click through on an affiliate link to the pay-to-play site/game.

Can anyone point him in the direction of any slots software/brand/affiliate manager that can supply code to deliver this?

Thanks

I actually have one of these sites in the works at the moment...

Free play games are fairly common and it's just a bit of javascript or an iframe (with tracking) that you get from you AM. Some programs just have the code in their back end, whilst you have to ask for it from others.

Not everyone offers them, mind you, but here's a few suggestions/places to start:

- Tropezia Palace/Affiliate Republik have hundreds of games from different providers, but not currently serving the UK (if that's the target market)
- Affiliate Edge have RTG in their back end
- Microgaming games are very easy, plenty of programs offer them (eg: Fortune Affs, but no UK any more) so just ask your preferred program
- Sky Vegas offer IGT and a few others (UK and ROI only though)
- Playtech are getting harder to find. Bet365 used to be the go-to but they've put a hold on giving out the new code.
- NetEnt are offered by a bunch, again just ask your preferred supplier (eg: Mr Green, ComeOn)

As a side note bear in mind that you're going to need extra content these days though if they're wanting to pick up search traffic - a site made entirely of embedded games and nothing else is going to struggle (unless the plan is to get the traffic from elsewhere - eg: ppc, social media etc..).

The conversions also suck from freeplay games

You've got to offer free play games as well as a full slot review - the content is what will help with SEO.

Quite a few programmes offer tracking on free play games which is great

Affilistars stars can help with some embeded code for slots, but not sure how good they will convert as i haven't used it myself.

I highly recommend Affiliate Edge, as was listed above.

I've just started playing with embedding the games and it seems quite straight forwards, for example with netent just go to the game on the official site find the full screen url and iframe it in...links etc you just manage around it

I agree with most of the above, the list @bald gave you is great. I would stay away from free and no deposit bonuses. Go for real money, you will most likely get less traffic but it will most likely be better quailty, which will bring conversions.

I wouldn't bother embedding slot games into your site. They severely slow down page speed (unless you host them) and limit click through to banners (in my xp).

Thanks to everyone that contributed to my query - much appreciated.

I have passed the information on.

Interesting to see that no AMs replied?

I use iframe code on my site!
