Nepal / SEA igaming market affiliate

[laxmani]

Anyone else here focused on the Nepal / South East Asia iGaming market?

I'm building an affiliate site for Nepal, and it's a bit of a niche corner — most affiliate-programme discussion on GPWA is EU/US focused, but the operators actually serving Nepal are a completely different set.

I'd love to connect with anyone else working this region — whether you run traffic here, manage a programme targeting South Asia, or have dealt with the local operators. A few things I'm trying to figure out:

- Which programmes do people rate for reliable payouts in emerging Asian markets?
- Is anyone finding good partners for this kind of localized traffic?
- How are you handling the fact that so many local brands are white-labels of the same operator?

Happy to compare notes on what's working (and what isn't) in a market that's growing fast but under-covered here. Feel free to reply or reach out.

You should use the search more here at the GPWA.

Nepal returns some results, but you can also use additional search of other regions in the area and asia in general.

Announcements such as this in April 2026 Nepal orders immediate shutdown of online gambling is likely part of the reason there is less publicity surrounding that market.

Although many of the Asian countries may not be mentioned as often as you like, be sure to read some of the older threads as well as some of them might also help point you in directions for further research.

I noticed here https://www.gpwa.org/forum/winter-ru...rz-265895.html that 888Starz mentioned Nepal was one of their target markets. it is a bit of an older post so you might want to reach out to them, as well as some of the operators that cover other parts of Asia to see if any of them can take your traffic.

Maybe other members here might have a few more recommendations for that market also.

Having been to Nepal before I will say it is certainly an interesting Niche to target given that the median salary is just over $200USD/m and 20% of the country live below the poverty line! Guess that's what makes it a niche market though!
