Being a Sports Betting Affiliate

An affiliate for a betting or gambling site is someone who knows the industry well enough that they can advertise and promote the site they work for. In many cases, affiliates can actually be working for a number of different sites at the same time.

Usually they attempt to drive traffic, also known as the players, to the casino, poker or sportsbetting site, through a link or bonus code. Once players have arrived and made a deposit at the gambling site, the affiliate will get commission of some kind for the service they have provided. Many affiliates can continue to play at the casinos or sites that they work for even as they are promoting them.

As a sports betting affiliate that is successful, one can earn quite a decent sum of money. By generating leads to a bookmaker site, affiliates can earn substantial commissions, though these are usually agreed upon in advance. This can range from 25 to 40% commissions on any revenues generated by games played by the affiliate’s referrals. It can also be from specific clicks that occur and also from players that make deposits.

Big sports betting affiliate sites can help players to trust specific bookmaker sites. They are able to provide reviews, information and answer questions about a variety of different sites that allow potential players to build trust in the bookmaker site. Large affiliates can operate for a number of different bookmaker sites allowing them to reap the benefits from all of them.

However, depending where these affiliate sites operate, there are a number of regulations that must be adhered to with such extras as affiliates only being able to link to sites within the same jurisdiction. In some cases online betting ads are also banned which does make it harder for some sites to advertise as affiliates.
