With thousands of online casinos operating globally, operators spend massive fortunes on marketing and advertising.
If you have ever read a casino review or clicked a link on a gambling blog, you have interacted with an affiliate.
The Basics of Affiliate Marketing
An affiliate is an independent marketer, website owner, or influencer who promotes a specific online casino.
The casino essentially outsources its marketing efforts to thousands of independent websites around the world.

Understanding Revenue Share (RevShare)
Under a RevShare agreement, the casino pays the affiliate a percentage of the net losses generated by the referred player.
The beauty of RevShare for the affiliate is that it provides a recurring, passive income stream for life.
Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) Deals
Instead of a percentage of losses, the casino pays the affiliate a single, flat fee for every depositing player.
This model is preferred by affiliates who need immediate cash flow rather than waiting for long-term player losses.
