What is the difference between Referral and Affiliate?

[Kakmakr]

I almost want to say that the Affiliate program are a step or two higher that the referral program.    So anyone can basically join the referral program, because you simply spread your referral link and you are a part of it.

When you are recruited or if you apply for the Affiliate program to advertise for the casino... you have to adhere to some requirements..before you are approved to join as an affiliate. (Example : You have to get say 100 000 followers on Youtube or some Streaming Platform on Social media... etc..)  

The Affiliate have a lot of extra benefits when they join the Affiliate program.

Both profits, but affiliates has more chance to make profit than referrals.
Affiliates has lots of benefits, it has wide range of rewards also like tiers/levels for every user they invites, the promo used of their invites, and you dont need to have an account on the platform, every bet they made, mostly it is used in different platform to promote the specific service, say a casino.
While referral is just a fixed rate or percentage whenever a user invites to the platform, every bet they made. A referrer also is a  existing user of the platform/casino.

I disagree. It is pretty much the same. It just depends on which is which was REFERRED. Basically, Referral System mentioned by the OP is the one A USER USES to get AFFILIATES. Hence Affiliates are those THAT ARE REFERRED. But some platforms uses both terms is just their referral system in such ways like "affiliate links" or "referral links" that pretty much pertains to the same thing.

From what I have encountered from the casinos here, mostly, you can interchange these terms.
The difference is how each casino give the benefits of their affiliates/referrals and how they define it.
So if you want to get the benefits of this feature, better check the conditions of the casino itself.
Because their terms vary from one another, the privileges attached to it and other things related to this category.

In which one you disagree? That affiliate has a chance to get more profit?
I'm talking based on my experience as an affiliate and also uses referrals, my experience is not just about gambling particular but mostly finance apps that offers much as an affiliate. And its proven that affiliate have more chance make profits.

In much legal form, affiliates needs to provide legal documents, have platform where they can promote the service e.g. facebook/twitter page, website and needs approval from the service before they can promote the service. Having affiliate link is also not just particular to get new invites, but also bought products/service. While referrals is particularly on inviting new users on the platform

Hi

I've seen a lot of casinos with a referral system already in your account settings but there is another tab at the bottom of every casino and you can also sign-up as an "Affiliate".
What is the difference between those two?

Thanks!

You asked the very same question multiple times in numerous threads, including my thread about gambling affiliation - I am confused?

I was curious about other opinions in this thread. Is there a problem asking such things? You should go and live your life and stop wasting it reading every single comment in this forum.

The problem is S H I T P O S T I N G  

There cannot be two opinions on that "question", so yeah - this is shitposting at its best.

This is a good explanation between this two, and casinos really have this option since they want to market their site and if you are going to join their affiliate program, that only means you have a good connections and huge number of followers by this, you can earn a lot. Well, referral system are the basic one you can also take advantage of this especially if you know someone who are into gambling as well, just try to understand the rules so you won’t get disqualified if ever.

They have the same purpose but different reward, affiliate program are more profitable but of course its not easy to qualify since they have the requirements while the referral system you only need to share your link and if someone registered under your link and deposited the money, that’s the only time you will get your reward. Casinos are doing this as part of their marketing strategy, don’t try to abuse it because they can caught you for sure.

You are right that if gambler try to abuse referral system then those who will abuse will suffer more and more while the real user will not fall on any suffer. And many scam accusation from newbie account might be posted here for same case. I mean they abuse the system and for that reason they face many problem including fund lock, account lock etc.

A referral can be an affiliate or not, an affiliate is always a referral. A referral means that you will get something in exchange for sending customers to them. That something may be simply a one-off award or a percentage of the opening balance of the player. An affiliate usually means that you will be getting a cut of the customer expenses in the site or book, that is a more recurrent method of referral payment.

I think both of a little differences, Affiliate is most likely partnership with which company, here you will get a private link to share with your friends/followers and i think profit is bigger then Referral. It’s mainly for influencers i think. On the other hand in Referral, who just will invite with their some close friends to get commissions.

In layman terms:

1. Affiliate
People who are bound to that particular site through contract of some kind. This is super professional and comes with a fixed pay, they might be telling about the site publicly as well.

2. Referral
Way easier to do but doesn't come with a contract of any kind, if you add the sites code with your particular one on going to that site and if someone clicks and registers, then viola! You get 1 referral, it's harder and it's not that professional.

Affiliate>>>> Referral
