Looking for a good US casino+sportsbook affiliate program, is there any?

[SimonTheSorcerer]

Looking for a good US casino+sportsbook affiliate program, is there any? I'm already working for GT-revenue, and Commissioning. Are there any more? Not interested in Bovada (tried already, didn't really work out). I'm outside of the US (this is my website: Simon's Casino Blog), so not affected by the legal issues US bloggers are, unlike them, I can work with the offshore casinos without having to worry. (Btw. Commissionking just put my account from 35% to 10% rev. share WITHOUT SAYING A WORD!, no email, no warning, I mean it's a small blog, I get it, but at least warn me first.... Seriously..., I'm close to replacing them with someone else. When I signed up, they never mentioned that it's only temporary.)

If it has poker as well ,that would be great ,) Also a US lottery affiliate program would be nice too, the one I'm using doesn't accept US traffic.

Commission Kings has this 10% rule directly listed on their homepage under Commissions. They do not hide the minimum number of signups rule.

With regard to US sportsbooks that offer casino and poker who we trust, they are:

Revenue Network - Bovada and Ignition Casino (this brand is only casino+poker)
Commission Kings - BetOnline and SportsbettingAG and TigerGaming
Intertops (though we are dissatisfied with our affiliate manager/the poker manager and have been for half a decade lol)

The above are the only brands that have poker, sports, and casino in the US market and deal in fiat currencies. There are also a small cadre of crypto-currency only websites that have poker, sports, and casino, but the revenue per customer, conversions, etc at all of these sites sucks relative to that of the above mentioned brands.

I do not think you should have erased your other previous blogs. You should have kept that content up for everyone who wanted to read it.

Even worse, redirecting that drug content to your gambling site, even if it is a holding page, is also a bad idea IMHO.

I think it would have been best, and is still best if you can, to reinstate all your old stuff and then redirect all your gambling content onto a fresh, new domain, without the association to legal highs and whatnot. I think it taints you in the eyes of Google the way you have it done.

Just a personal opinion.

I like your content btw

Dear Simon, kindly note that the 10% rule is clearly listed on our website and every month, the system automatically picks out affiliates who have not delivered a minimum of 3 real money players and sets them on the 10% deal. We are however always very open to have a conversation and restart you again on your previous deal, all you need to do is contact us and try to bring 3 real money players in 6 months, it's not a lot Regards, Yvette @ CommissionKings

I SPECIFICALLY ASKED whether it is for the initial period or not (I have the emails if anyone wants the proof). Do you seriously think that affiliates read through your 20 pages long Terms And Conditions! When someone asks you whether that is for the grace period or not you should not lie, I rest my case.

It increased my search engine visibility by about 20-30%, I think I made the right choice.

It's a legal binding contract, hence I would hope they do. I certainly read through any and all contracts I sign... affiliate related or not. It's like player T&C's, bonus rules etc., etc. If I had a buck for every player who didn't read the casino's bonus rules and general T&C's, and then wonder why their wins are confiscated.

Granted 20 pages is a PITA but reading them makes you aware of any curly clauses etc. At that point you have the option to either accept the T&C contractual terms, or you don't, it's that simple.

You would make a good lawyer. I did read through it, but it's quite normal if something passed me by. I just glanced over it.

Directly asking someone, and then getting lied in your face is also not okay, At least you can agree to that I hope....

To each their own.

I think you wasted perfectly good content though and will ultimately be penalized algorithmically or are already, but do not realize it.

Good luck!

I came across your website again. And then I looked it up. And then I remembered this thread.

And now I am posting this picture that contradicts what you said regarding traffic:

FYI, I was looking over some of your country + legal pages. Well researched, I give you credit for quality content creation!

 

[SimonTheSorcerer]

Because it's ahrefs, and ahrefs displays wrong data for my site.

I had multiple websites on the same domain some of them had multiple thousands of visitors per day, but the never made more than pocket money), and ahrefs never was able to handle that I shut them down, and kept only one.
Also I refused to give them access to my Google analytics and ever since it displays very inaccurate data.

It did increase my search engine visibility by 30% whether you believe it or not. But, because I hate when people call me a liar, here is some proof, from Google search console, this is accurate (this is search traffic only).
I marked the increase.

I expect another boost soon, I'm switching to NGINX next week for better speed (already using Cloudflare). I recommend NGINX to everyone, a lesser known SEO boost, apart from Cloudflare.

There was never any black hat linkbuilding done that site or any of my sites (I did accumulate quite a lot of spam though, over the years, not intentionally, some spambots targeted me). That's why it helped.

Hopefully this puts this to rest, no hard feelings, it's best to be skeptical.

NGINX is fast.
I use it.
Don't expect it to boost your organic search traffic though!

Zoomed in, it does appear to have captured your search traffic increase. Now that I go back to the original image, I can see the little bump. Said bump simply does not stand out versus the scale needed with all the prior "pocket money" traffic.

I still say it was a shame to have nuked those other aspects of your site. You had some good info on those other pages!

Good. You were wrong. Thank you for admitting it.

Ahrefs is pretty good and accurate btw, just looks really bad now that site went from many thousands of visitors per day to a few hundreds. If you know wat to look for, the data is still there.

"I still say it was a shame to have nuked those other aspects of your site"

I don't regret it, took time away from what makes money (and they didn1tgenerate links either).

But you know, if I was a rich guy, with enough money to be "financially independent", who doesn't have to work, I would have kept them (and I would not be working on a gambling blog 12 hours 6 times a week if I was rich.. this is torture.... ).

You were wrong about the other thing too...

Sorry if I don't take your word for it.

It is good to be skeptical. Everyone in the world has good cause to be skeptical of many things right now. In fact, I wish more people would use the grey matter betwixt their ears and question pretty much everything that is being done to them... but I digress.

NGINX isn't going to boost you in the SERPs unless it magically improves your GPSI. And it will not. It's just a faster database.

The 19 scripts you run on your pages being cleaned up however, could improve your user experience / speed, and thus feedback-loop into the algo to improve your scores

I was so glad when we finally became independent of using jquery... grossly inefficient stuff there!

Also, as a side note, even if NGINX does bump you up a couple points, a fraction of a second in speed, it won't matter. I have done speed to death on our sites and it is, sadly, one of 200+ factors. Not going to be a gamechanger for you when you already have perfect and within 10 pts of perfect scores on GPSI.

Hey PROFRB,

Do you want to do a link exchange? I never done one in my entire life, and if you do it only a few times it actually does help, it only hurts your website if you go overboard. I can get get you a link on the homepage, for a link back, similarly from the home page.

What do you say?

Let me know.

 

[PROFRBcom]

I would not put a link to another affiliate website on my homepage for anything less than a decent beach house on a tropical island. I would also take a small yacht in exchange for a homepage link.

To any interested parties, I guarantee your link will be the only homepage link. Ever. Period.
Think of all the juice!!!
