Casino Affiliate Programs and Sportsbook Partner Programs
Many of the casino partner sites splash banners saying you can earn thousands with very little effort. That's just not true. Yes there may be a few webmasters earning six or
seven figure incomes but that has come from lots of hours researching
programs, designing and maintaining sites, and marketing them to
the world. Just because some actors make ten million dollars a movie
doesn't mean all actors make that much. Same goes for affiliate
marketing, you have to be interested in what you are doing and be
good at it, or at least learn how to be good at it.
Well I've probably scared a few of you by now and if you think
it all sounds like too much work then best to leave now. The industry
and the online gamblers have become more educated and want more
than just banner farms. In fact many programs review your site before
being accepted and they won't allow banner farms. Closely related
to this, you must have your own domain name and not use a free service.
If you can't afford the few bucks to buy a domain name and the monthly
hosting then you shouldn't enter affiliate marketing, (unless you
plan to do it via email or offline). People don't look on free sites
with credibility and that is what you need to show in order to get
people to accept your recommendations and click on the links to
the casinos and sportsbooks.
As said earlier, it's not the most reputable industry in the world.
You always need to be on the lookout for suspicious indications.
You will spend enough time working at this so why waste time with
people who are just going to rip you off. The casino and sportsbook
operators will try and rip you off, the gamblers will try and rip
you off, and other webmasters will try and rip you off. That said,
there are also a bunch of honest people and I have made some great
contacts and friends with people from each area. Stick with them
and it will be both rewarding and profitable. Nothing beats getting
a check in the mail, or an email from a visitor complimenting you
on the site.
I'm not a lawyer and I won't attempt to cover the legalities of
the online casino and sportbetting activities. Suffice to say that
you should check out what is legal in your area before you start.
There are a number of factors you need to consider such as whether
residents of certain countries can participate in online gambling,
can you market to residents in your country, and whether the casinos
and sportsbooks are licenced (and by a decent jurisdiction, not
some out of the way country where a few thousand dollars will buy
a 'licence'). This last issue is extremely important because there
are too many unlicenced and unregulated operators out there. You
want your visitors to enjoy their experiences at the casinos and
sportsbooks so they will keep going back. Remember the marketing
adage that it is easier and more cost effective to sell to your
existing customers than to new ones.
So there's a brief introduction and in the other pages you will
find heaps of useful information to make your casino and sportsbook
affiliate marketing career a success. If you have any questions
or wish to know about a program that is not listed here then go
to our contact page and send the details
to me.
