A Gambling Affiliate Program Problem

[alani123]

That has been a common issue among affiliates, the casino changing their terms and eventually losing your referrals or losing a big cut of the earnings I have seen some complaints in the scam section, where an affiliate has been earning for many years from his hundreds of referrals but when they change their terms or create an update they've deleted the referrals, this is stealing, the affiliates have worked hard to recruit these people and its not an easy job recruiting gamblers much more a would be VIP sign up to your link.
I have a friend who had over 50 referrals but is not earning a lot because very few of them are active players and many of them only play once in a blue moon, you have no guarantee for each signup that you are going to make money, which is why some affiliates offer cash back to motivate his referrals to deposit and play.

For me it's not just an issue of terms of service. It's very much likely that certain sites also outright delete or negate referral commission in violation of their own terms of service.

Financial sites are more regulated and provide more honest trscking with their affiliate programs so I think it's less likely for them to cheat, but with gambling sites it's a bit like wild west.

This is the reason I gave been seeing those working with affiliate marketing promote a wide variety of platforms. The best affilist earnings can come from inviting people to a platform that becomes famous early but it's impossible to predict how good and popular a platform will be simply from being early. So the affiliate marketers will have an wide array of platforms to promote usually because sticking with just one can be risky for so many reasons.

Just to be sure, have you read the promotion's terms of service and have made sure you met the prerequisites? for instance, a lot of casinos depend their referal earning based on the referred person's deposit/wager.

I would also suggest naming the casinos you've used because every kind of business has bad apples. There are some platforms who are suspected of not playing fair when it comes to this hence the community may shade a light if a particular platform has such reputation. Actually, if you're convinced this was the case for you, you could start a scam accusation with supporting evidence included, see: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260073.0

I'm a Gambling Affiliate and something is bothering for some time. In most of the casino affiliate programs that I registered to, I can make a little amount of money or nothing at all. Did anybody encountered a similar problem?

..and a little mistake could contradict the whole meaning in the context - for some seconds, I kept wondering what your point was until I decided to figure it out from other people's response...
well, affiliate programs ain't no easy task - you may be unfortunate to sign an affiliate contract with a casino that's marked with bad reputation already (sometimes hidden) -- so promoting them is like throwing shit to the wall to see if it sticks.. it could also harm your reputation as a promoter too..

It is normal that you either make money or nothing at all. That's how gambling affiliates work. But some people can make money from gambling affiliates. They are used to working with affiliates and have successfully found the best ways to invite people to register via their affiliate link. This is not easy because you have to try many ways to find one that works and makes money for you. This may take a long time, especially if you are new to gambling affiliates. But if you are used to it, perhaps you just need to find ways that suit you.

There are people who are really that good when it comes to inviting people or simply marketing stuffs on which they could easily hook up people and make registered under their links but in most cases on which people arent really that always be good on inviting including myself. Getting 1 referral would already be that tough. How much more on having tons? Just like the rest been saying that when it comes to affiliate marketing
then there would really be always those terms and conditions on which you would really be needing to comply or to be followed or else you wont really be able to earn something and this is what you should really be that aware so that you wont really be that expecting that much.

So if you do see that it isnt really working for you then it would be always better that you should really be that mindful about on the things which could happen because if you are
believing on something which it isnt included into their terms then disappointment would really be there. Its not a problem about on not to earn bonuses out of referrals,
it is really just that they do lack wagering.

You're not making money because you referred the wrong people if you have several referrals, for you to make money in affiliate marketing in gambling, they should deposit play with a big amount of money, you'll earn decent money if you have a good number of VIP in your referrals.
Gambling affiliate marketing is not easy because you're not the only one promoting there are many of you and the casinos are also promoting themselves so you have to be active in promoting your link and as much as possible target the right gambler.
There's a lot of dedication if you're going to be a casino gambling affiliate but its rewarding if done right.

There is no doubt that there are people who can invite others easily because they are that type of person. So they have no difficulty at all in convincing others to join them. I have often met people like this, where they can get lots of people to join through their affiliates. But when we try it, we don't get any people at all because we are not used to using the methods. That could be why only a few people can successfully use affiliates and can get many people to join because they can convince other people.

Those who can get people to join will be happy because they can get commission bonuses. But those who can't will only be disappointed, and this makes many people feel like they have failed in using their affiliates. They choose to use other methods that suit them, and yes, they can indeed get people who want to join. These affiliate marketing methods will depend on each person because conveying information also requires different methods.

Hi Everyone, 

I have an online gambling related question. I don't know if this is the right place to post such a question, so I'm sorry if I posted in the incorrect forum.

I'm a Gambling Affiliate and something is bothering for some time. In most of the casino affiliate programs that I registered to, I can make a little amount of money or nothing at all. Did anybody encountered a similar problem?

Thanks,

Hi, about your problem, could you please elaborate your main problem here? It's that you, having small income amount in your affiliated gambling sites? If that's the case, do you even read the terms and conditions, as well as the percentage of your income per referral? Am i right? you will only earn a big amount if you also have many referrals who are invited but it depends to the negotiated price percentage offer by the casino sites. almost all gambling streamers make money in the same way, aside from the view counts of their videos that's why I understand the reason why they earn a lot..

I'm not sure what the problem is, if the user didn't meet the requirement to make you earn a commission from the affiliate program, it means the problem was on your side.

It's hard to invite people to register using your referral link and regularly to lose their money on the casino, most of the time you only able to find people who join using your referral link, but they didn't use their accounts.

He already explained if what is the problem, although maybe you think there is no real problem here but it was only normal, for the reasons you said there. I can agree with that, but there might also be casinos who are dishonest about their operations?

As this wasn't the first time I saw a complaint like this. And then those people are very sure that they refer a couple of active people, which can be their family members, close friends, close co-workers, and the likes. Inviting won't be that hard if you have some skills in marketing. However yeah, there is no guarantee after that those that we refer are going to deposit and play regularly.

What @swogerino has been saying could be what's the problem OP, sometimes in this affiliate links, the people that you've sent your referral link and used your link to register, they might need to play in that casino to make the referral a legitimate one. I think that's what most gambling website that does referral nowadays do to prevent people that are abusing the referral system and to make sure that you're not just giving out referral to bots and such. You might want to also contact the online casino that you have got this problem from because they might have made a mistake on their side, make sure to cover all the possible reasons why you might've not been paid.

[Kakmakr]

Yea, it all depends on how early you joined the site, after it has been released. You will do very good if you join a site, just after it was launched, because many people will see your advertising for the site for the first time.

A lot of the older sites has been around for a long time and people have joined them already. I did very well with freebitco.in when it was launched and then the new signups dried up. A lot of other affiliate marketers also compete for the same target markets, so it makes things difficult. 🙄🤔

If someone hasn't been able to make money from affiliate programs, whether gambling or something else, it's because he hasn't found the right way for him. Most people have to try many ways to find it, which takes a lot of time. And that's what makes many people give up going through the process.

They think working as an affiliate is easy because they only need to share the link. But it won't be that easy. They must be able to find the right place to promote their affiliate links. This is difficult because many people already use social media to spread their affiliate links. They must be able to compete with other people who may also use the site to promote.

Maybe you need to try a rotator site that will display advertisements for the site you are promoting for people to see. I've seen someone use it to promote multiple sites. But I don't know the results because I didn't pay much attention.

I agree with you, I have tried to enter the marketing affiliate world before and all I can say is that it is not as easy as what we see from other people, before you can make money here, you must first invest in the tools that you will use to affiliate and that includes hard work and advance knowledge about technology. Aside from that, you need to keep up with the trend in order to gain viewers, clients or consumers.
