Hi all,

Ive never been on CPA a deal but im thinking it might be beneficial as im only getting small 1 time deposits lately?

What do you think?

What are the benefits of CPA? I know theirs that chance of landing a keeper (regular players) on rev share.

Is bingo a better CPA than casino's are?

What is a good CPA deal?

Problem with CPA in the situation you're describing is that if your players are low value, you're going to get kicked off the CPA anyway when they evaluate the account.

Personally I'd stick with rev share - I have plenty of players who signed up years ago that are still active and regularly generating revenue. In fact I had a player deposit for the first time this month who signed up in 2011 (and the deposit was a big one - couple of $k).

Just power through and keep building up that player base - this here be a numbers game!

Bald is right on.

And be careful who you promote. programs like Brightshare won't count new depositors you send if the player doesn't deposit within 90 days of signing up.

I also agree Rev Share is the way to make your real money. It may be slow in the start, but you will be passing up the potential to make thousands off return players if you chose CPA.

I would say Rev Share as well.. If you are in it for the long haul, Rev Share is almost always the way to go. I have also heard on a few forums, that bingo players tend to be a little more loyal as return players. I don't really know how true that is, as I don't heavily promote bingo, maybe someone else can answer that.

Another reason to use RevShare is I think bingo CPA is a little lower on average then for casinos, making it probably not worth the effort. With RevShare just 1 player can make all the difference.

Bingo CPA's are very low, so I would definitely stick with rev share.

You'll find you get a lot of small £10 players who then vanish, but there are also plenty who will become loyal players and will more than make up for it.

I've never accepted cpa offers and never will. RevShare is the way to go for the same exact reasons that baldidiot said. Also, try to give equal exposure to a few affiliate programs. Giving your top spots to only 1 or 2 affiliate programs would be like putting all your eggs in one basket. If these affiliate programs close or go rogue, then there goes most of your income.

with the recent trend in retroactive terms landofOz, would you not agree this is something that sometimes might be worth it? player does the biding and you get paid no more stats and if robbery comes well at least you already got paid... of course in this line they can also just not count your stats and be done with it.... i think for a new affiliate cpa's can actually go a long way in helping with current expense.

I would say maybe a healthy CPA + RevShare hybrid deal.. But I think the potential for loss is huge if you go all CPA.. I have made over 12k+ over the span of two years off just one player..
