Bitcoin Forum

There is huge money in casino affiliate marketing which is why we have different kinds of sites that are affiliate based but offer a different approach to how they refer new players.

If you are a new player and you would like to sign up to casinos which of the following affiliates you would likely sign up for, vote, and give us your reasons why will you sign up under this kind of affiliates.


* Casino review sites like this one (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5335097.0)

* Rake Back sites like this one (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5408890.0)

* Targeted categories in this case provably fair (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5411394.0)

* Vouch sites like this one (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5410709.0)

* Signature campaign of course we all know what type are these.

I guess I'll be invited if the review is good.

I know that there are a lot of gambling platforms that do paid reviews every now and then but it is one of the most reliable ways to know whether the platform is up to a certain standard or not. Even if the review is quite rigged to the benefit of the casino, you'll still encounter a lot of reviews that goes the other way, and is completely blunt, honest, and true in a lot of aspects. These reviews easily gives you a sneak peek of what to expect on the platform, and that is something important to me if I'm looking to change places for my weekend gambling habits.

For a new player that needs to verify the reputation, games, and the about of a casino then I'll probably sign up under the review sites. Since it tackles everything about the casino and how the casino interacts with its player.  It is also worth noting all the information on the review sites since it can give us a hint on the possible experience we may have about the reviewed casino.  There may be rigged reviews out there but we can also find sites that give honor to their works and signing under these honest review sites is a gesture of thanking them for the effort to bring us information about the casino.

Honest and fair review sites for me, you want to be under a guy who will guide you on what casino to pick so you will not be at loss and you know what to expect from the gambling at the time you sign up because the reviewer already explains everything you need to know about a particular casino, and besides these reviewers are actually playing on these casinos and their reviews are coming from their own experience, so you can relate when you are the one playing.

Out of all the options above, the review sites seems more sensible to me because it provides way more information about that particular site than any other option.
All the other options may provide details about what the site is about but review sites provide most of the information about the site such as bonus, promotions, features and games on that site etc...
But at the same time we must make sure that the site is genuine and not a paid one.

Obviously, I will try to register for the most benefit for myself, but this does not exclude the fact that I will study the sites with casino reviews. After I choose suitable casinos based on the reviews, I will register in order to either get a good welcome bonus right away or an accumulative bonus - rakeback. It's hard to say which path I would take (you need to look at specific numbers) but rakeback seems to be the most profitable thing.

Reviews. Or any other thing similar to a vouch to the casino tbh. Signatures like this are mostly something like ads, they just inform us, the consumers of the existence of that specific service, company, or business, they don't really state anything about how it works, is it trusted, is it worth it stuff like that. Reviews on the other hand state the personal experience of users which is rather reliable, even if we do consider how there are paid reviews since you can cross-reference the casino reviews from multiple sources.

Review sites are undoubtedly a useful thing, but only at the stage of the initial review of online casinos to create a general idea, but to choose a casino in order to play better there later, it seems to me, following the advice of guarantors who have experience on a specific platform, but how to check the reputation of the guarantors themselves?

Frankly speaking, I do not like to sign up under a referral link because I think that I'll lose one of my privacy thing.
Lets say I register with your referral link, means that you'll have at least my wager statistic under your referral page.
I do not mean that I will 100% skip such link but I'll be more selective, maybe I'll be interested to register under a referral link if there is a good offer for me as a referral.
If there is no benefit at all, I prefer to register myself directly from the official link of the casino.

I tend to sign up through the link from the person who introduced me to the casino and that made me interested in giving it a try. It can be a review site or more likely a youtube channel. Of course it's more advised to have a rakeback promoter as referrer, but you have to be focused on that purpose since the beginning, otherwise only after you create your account through another links you will notice there is that possibility, and then it's too late, because if you attempt to create a second account to get rakeback you may be flagged as multi account or cheater.

A good casino would already have at least most of the features or rewards that you have mentioned. But depends on lot of things. People that shouldn't just "sign up" based on what they read. Those "vouch sites" and "review" sites mainly gets paid for promoting their casino. Most of them receives a large portion of revenue share, so of course they will only promote casinos that gives them more revenue share (and they will deny this and say that they are "very" neutral. But if you look at their list, you will know that they are getting paid. You will see casinos on their list that has some serious scam accusations here). Don't just sign up because you see that they have high rakeback percentage. Look at the house edge. Most likely they have much higher house edge, hence in the long run, you lose more to them than those casinos with lower house edge.

I'm not interested in review sites, as I get the necessary information on this forum, plus I'm used to the experience of sites in my country that most of the reviews are fake and you can't rely on them. Therefore, I will join the casino through a referral link if I receive rakeback from this, although it should be sensitive rakeback and not 0.001% of the funds played. If the rakeback does not interest me with its size, then I would rather join via a direct link.

There's no specific criteria or something. As long as the site seems trustworthy for me, worth trying, have a unique promotions or bonus, active in doing marketing, actively engaging in the community, there's a chance that I will sign-up at those regardless of what site I see those as part of affiliate marketing of that site.

But honestly speaking, since I enter the crypto-gambling, majority of my sign-ups didn't came from affiliated link that can be found on review sites or such related articles, page or blogs. I'm inputting the right URL or search it on Google at most of the cases.

We have different preferences in the first place.

If I were a new player and wanted to sign up for a casino, maybe I would choose an affiliate based on many people's ratings so I know how the casino thinks many people think. People on this forum will give an honest review of a casino and always advise the casino so that the casino can improve over time. Maybe before I sign up for that casino, I'll visit the ANN of each casino to see what other members have to say.

My recent casino registration came from the help of reviews so that's where my vote went to, I rely on reviews since they usually offer enough information regarding casinos, and sometimes they'd summarize the experience you'd get after registration so you'd know what to expect after signing up. Also, there are reviews that aren't great as you'll see one review site rate a specific casino much higher while the other review sites have similar ratings that's why relying on certain reviews might not be enough for other gamblers.

I would go and sign up under an honest casino reviewer since they took the time to experience the site and share it with us.  Though I know I also need to verify the review since there are lots of bogus review site that is scattered on the internet. 


True that, and I think a review site can cover these concerns since the site will be reporting about the advantage and disadvantage of every casino, and this house edge will be rated too.

I would go for this:
* Casino review sites like this one

You would really be that able to tell that a site does have it all basing up into its popularity and reputation in the market.
If you do see that a site does have much players or who do really make use of it towards their gambling activity then you could say that it does have that
decent features or offering when it comes to rakebacks,bonuses and promotions. Reputation would be a solid indication that it does
have it all.

If I'm a new gambler then I prefer to register on a site that gives me a bonus etc, but it's usually get them on a review site or other media information. So I voted on a review site, there are details that make me understand more about the site I want to visit, and there are other gamblers comments that will add to my insight. Learning a new site isn't difficult but it's a fairly time consuming process, and I'm also a human being who wants to get the hang of it quickly for fun.

I voted for "Review sites". I guess this kinda give the casinos their reputation if some sites gave them a good feedback or may like 4 stars and even 5 stars (out of 5 stars). So that alone can entice new players, specially casino review sites that has also been established themselves in the game for so long. We have some trusted review sites in the casino as well and from time to time a look at some of their newest review about crypto related platform and see how it goes.

In fact the 3 last websites are all doing the same thing : trying to earn money by getting referral commissions. The "rake back" one is a little bit more fair because it gives a cash back to the affiliates in the same way as people are doing with their freebitcoin referrals for example. In addition those 3 websites are very young, with their ann created in august here. So I would choose the first one, the casino reviewer (GamblingBro) because it is older and seems to be honest according to the ratings it gives to the casinos.

^ If we choose only one it is hard to choose, it seems all of the choice above listed is very useful when searching for a good casino.
I will probably go in a review but there is a condition, must the review site has also a reputation as being a good review casino, because we know that a review site could be manipulated. And I don't like to read reviews that are based on the author of the review site, it should come from the community like us who give their opinion regarding the casino. So that is how I choose a gambling casino but all listed above was right way to find a good casino.

I've voted for signature campaign on this one however it varies depending on the status of the campaign. What I've meant on the status are its campaign participants, how it is managed, who's managing it, how the payment is made, etc,. Here at the forum, one way of advertising your platform is through signature campaign and having a trustworthy campaign managers and participant will surely boost your platform reputation throughout the forum.

Other than signature campaign, I guess review sites would also be a great basis as you will likely be able to check honest reviews from various individuals and users and also you will be able to see a quick overview of their platform and it's games and promotions.

If I may to add as well on the list, I guess it is also worth to mention the banner that is being rented out on the forum as those also gets my attention since they are being reviewed by forum management or theymos.

As said everything stated is required while choosing a platform. Another thing it is to be noted, we haven't got a specific platform that gives the best and true review. It is our responsibility to go through the platform and understand it. When it comes to rakeback, almost every platform have begun it. So, we'll look for the best and signature campaign on our forum adds reputation and trust over the platform.

Despite of reading a not so fair review site, I can say that it can still be my to join a new site since they tell everything about the site especially the pros and cons and not just about the affiliate, not unless my friend invite me to join, review site can still work for me maybe you just need to choose the best and honest site. Signature campaign are also effective, though I only join the site once I participated on that campaign and be part of it, i guess it’s mandatory.

Top review site will obviously gives you the whole picture of a gambling site, they also talked about the experience of the gamblers so I think this the best option for me. Though signature campaign can also be effective once they promote longer here in the forum, that only means they want to be more active here and do a great campaign, they can last longer because here in the forum, we also give real reviews and experiences about the site.

It is a huge factor if a gambling website has an ongoing signature campaign in this forum. The fact that this specific gambling platform can allocate funds to advertise their casino via signature campaigns somehow implies their future plans and intentions for its future.

Not to mention, if an online gambling platform also has an active campaign signature, it follows that they have an ANN thread in this forum. This is specifically crucial especially that communication between the user and their customer support service can either make or break the website. Though, one notable exception would be 1xbit- while they may have an ongoing campaign signature, their review and feedback is full of negative responses that would warrant its avoidance.

So far review sites garnered 68% of the vote it's understandable the review sites are not easy to set up, the reviewer must play on those sites to be able to come out with a pro and cons on playing on that casino and it's worth first to read reviews before joining casinos so you will have ideas on how the casino works, I'm sure majority of the members of the community will pick review sites they deserve to  get more referrals

maybe, it is true for most forum users, that they will sign up for casinos with active campaign in this forum and active thread as well. but for players outside the forum, they may sign up via those review sites. but the sig campaign in the forum for me definitely attract some new players especially if they are offering some bonuses or rewards or even contests. it also shows that they have their funds to finance their campaign especially those long-running campaigns.

I also did vote for the Review sites and so far it is the majority. And I have seen the link given in this thread before so I must say it is a good source of review and you can see it is an unbiased review, at least this is how I see it. Of course, they reviewers will put their affiliate links but it's really up to you whether you want to sign under him or not. Signature campaigns might be good though, but if the campaign paused or discontinued maybe they can the numbers will not be design as obviously, their exposure here will no longer there. So new gamblers will not be aware of how good or bad but will rely on looking for reviews.

As an inexperienced gambler, maybe I will register on the website indicated by @OP because I will be confused about choosing which site is suitable for me. Perhaps I will list one by one from the list on the website while looking at what is in the casino, so I hope I can find a casino that suits me. But in addition to registering through existing website reviews, I will also try to search for casinos that are already on this forum because that way, I can find the casino I want.

I vote for signature campaign, the reason is they're don't mind to spend money to advertise this forum and it mean they're high likely have huge bankroll. Before we gamble we need to know the casino have a good financial and not in debt, so if there's a lucky gamblers won, they will have money to pay the gamblers. Of course only long term signature campaign I will sign up and I prefer the casinos that currently still run a campaign.

I think the case here for the forum is a rare case, since most campaigns here have their own threads hence a lot of people have shared their feedback and opinions on it, so it can actually be considered close to being a review at that point. And as you said, they also include their own advertisements (bonuses, rewards, etc), in their own forum threads which makes it almost an all-in-one package when it comes to a casino review, but whether inside or outside the forum, you'd still need to actively review them so reviews would still top it because even if it was a signature campaign, it doesn't necessarily entail that it's a good casino to play in.

I personally prefer to register directly from the official casino link without having to go under someone's referral link, for me it makes more sense because if I register under someone's referral link, my gambling activities will be known by someone who has that referral.
however, casino review sites become the main reference and no doubt, and is a useful thing for me personally, rake back, targeted categories, guarantee sites, all of which will always be part of my reference to choose selectively and choose something that is most interesting my attention especially if it is profitable.

I will choose the review sites because thats how I can get a useful information about different casinos.

Moreover some of reliable review sites based their reviews through personal experience, thus you can decide for yourself if its worth it to try the particular casino based on the pros and cons if you gamble on their platform.

I think you missed 1 option here, it is official link provided by the representative of the casino. It can be in this forum by ANN thread, in their official social media accounts or can be in other places. In my opinion, official link is the most used link by new users to register their account. Review sites, rakeback sites, and signature campaign usually come after the casino created their own ANN thread. It will be better if you put this option in the poll as I believe many people will choose this option.

This is where likely I will signup for if I'm going to play to a new gambling website using an affiliate link. The most important criteria for me when choosing a gambling website is user experience so website like these that have in-depth reviews are very helpful to me. By checking other reviews about the same website, I will know if it's really good to play there. I'm not after the bonuses when gambling, I prefer the platforms that have high trust ratings from their users.

I am not a new player anymore and have played on many different casinos in the past already. The first time I used an online casino was around 12 years ago and based on a recommendation from a friend, he told me there are free spins and poker start money to gamble with. It didn't even require a first deposit back in the day and so I got hooked to online gambling. Over the years I switched to new casinos many times and often I found them from review sites. Having a summary of the bonuses for new customers is a huge help to see which  casino to look into more detail. More recently I lost my trust in review sites after reading some reviews which were highlighted by the website as trustworthy but didn't provide correct information. This forum here is a better indicator of a good casino than a random review site on the internet in my opinion. If a casino has been running a successful signature campaign for month on the forum I would give them more credit, than a casino that got some generic reviews online. Especially if there are users here on the forum who have been around for many years and a good trust rating being part of that campaign.

What's the difference between review sites and vouch sites? Aren't they more or less the same?
What if the vouch is more of less biased and made only for the sake of getting affiliate/referral commissions?
Fake reviews and biased opinions are a thing in the crypto gambling industry(unfortunately).
Anyway, I would signup via an affiliate/referral link only if there's bonus for referral signups(and only if I have enough real evidence that the crypto casino is legit). Otherwise, there's no point for me to make some money for somebody else without any clear benefit for me. That might seem selfish, but I have the right to be selfish and to look after my own interests.

Although we're know gamblingbro is a honest casino review sites, but there's a bunch of fake reviews on the google that appeared on the first pages. This will make many peoples trapped on scam casino since you think the casino is really trustworthy based on the the review sites. Because of this, I'm already stop to use review sites and stick to gamblers experience e.g. on the room chat, telegram, discord etc.

No bad way for voting on signature campaign, I think have bigger impact with signature campaign because several casino site I know right now from signature campaign. I think how many new casino site become popular right now because effect from signature promotion code and another option like review site is worth, but many people will know about casino from signature campaign promoting. Usually I registered some casino site trough with signature code on bitcointalk forum and I check later about feedback and reputation about some casino gambling site. I think when have signature campaign as promoting will make casino more popular.

Obviously ?  Signature campaign is the first thing that I will definitely choose because this is what i am doing now and also the review sites that I believe worth trusting depend on what site are we talking here.

this will always depend in what are we dealing mostly as we have different approach here in crypto world.

I don't usually use referrals/affiliates but if I do, I'd pick the "gambling review" as a thank you for the effort of giving information about the gambling site the gamblers might want to try out. also, it is a very useful website to go to especially if you are a new gambler or if there is a new gambling site and you want to check its reputation, what the gambling site offers, etc...

I also do not use referral systems but I do not trust websites that make reviews of gambling sites as in most cases they are partners so I would rather choose a casino from those that have their own threads on this forum and arrange signature campaigns for forum users. These gambling sites really strive to have a good reputation and many of them have been here long enough to prove their reputation.

Just like myself too, I don't use referrals or affiliated sites to get to a casino that I like. I do manually search for gambling site that I like it come to this community to look for more reputable gambling site I will use to place bet if I decided not to use my current gambling platform.
I think really know how the referral system most gambling sites uses and how it works and in order not to fall on the wrong hands I do come here to get everything I needed including info that will keep me on the right path. I prefer manual selection of what I wants.

I've personally only ever signed up for casinos/bookies:

a. because I want to, found them interesting and have heard good things.
b. because someone I trust and know well who gambles there prompted me to. This is when I sign up under them.

Sometimes, (a) leads me to look for (b) and to sign up under someone who already has an account there. Just makes sense someone I know should benefit.

Been pretty lucky, guys above me tend to give me back some of the earnings, otherwise I don't expect to get anything back from losing at a casino/bookie.

I think the review sites are easily accessible without having to sign up but that is the most common reason a gambler before deciding at which casino to play should go to such sites and review a list of casinos.If the list is not available to see without signing up then the user should definitely sign up.

I of course am at the last point at the signature campaign,I like that they pay me directly to my casino account and I can decide what to do with the money,play some or withdraw it all,I usually play at least 20% of all the amount I receive.

It's a great way to ensure that the gambling platform or casino you're going to play and bet on has a credible reputation and having someone that you know from that sites help especially that they provide you first hand experience on the platform.

Anyways, Isn't (a) just the same as review from other people but not on review sites?

Good point! But probably this is solved in a simpler way - you need to register with a random nickname that is not related to your other nicknames or full name. Usually people do not hide their referral links, but rather distribute them, so the more referrals a person has, the less likely he is to figure out who is who. But your point of view undoubtedly makes sense, since the more money a person has, the harder he tries to hide it, but everyone wants to have a referral who plays with large amount of money.

Being active here in Bitcointalk and in the gambling section I usually sign up through a signature campaign if the casino is newly launched I get to read the many feedbacks and reactions from the community, but if the casino does not have a thread here and no signature campaign I prefer reviews sites, they give me the pro and the cons from their reviews, these review sites are time saver, if you can only play in a few casinos its better to get the best ones and the review sites can give you those casinos with good ratings.

Reviews are not a guarantee to determine which casino affiliate I want to register, some reviews can be trusted and some are not, of course I prefer casinos that are guaranteed about their reputation and are responsible for their users.

Reviews are only to attract new users, based on their experience and other users, but it's not a decision that those users can win based on their reviews or their References, Gambling has a strategy, experience and so on to win some bets, so I'm more sure to register directly on a guaranteed gambling site, rather than doing it through reviews.

Under Signature campaigns without the slightest doubt. Signature campaigns are safe and effective way of promoting businesses. The campaign managers hand pick the best posters in the forum so only the best people will be promoting these casinos because these casinos deserve the best. Hand crafted made in USA.

Every other choice could lead you to a mistake. Sure there are shit casino campaigns like 1xbit going on in the forum but a careful forum reader would notice the difference between a legit casino and a scam one like 1xbit in a matter of minutes to if not seconds. That’s because every 1xbit camp participant and manager have at least a couple of red trust ratings.

I agree but we have in this forum two of the best reviewers Gamblingbro and BTCGosu and other fully established that are not in this forum, there are paid reviewers and there are honest and independent reviewers, it's not that I'm defending these reviewers but it pays to read reviews first from reputable reviewers before you sign up to a new a casino so you'll know what to expect, the pros and the cons, there are many newbies who got scam by fake and scam casinos because they failed to look for independent reviewers.

Some reviews mostly found on google are paid reviews and we can't rely on them 100%. Online reviews could easily be faked and it's disappointing that others are writing false reviews in exchange for payment. I believe that this forum is more reliable when it comes to sites' legit checking. If we're asking about a certain site, people here will speak for their performance which I think is better to believe in.
