Newbie Affiliate Question

[Sharp Square]

Hello All,


I have done some sports betting stuff few years ago and i have been considering doing a casino affiliate based wordpress as a starter site. Just wondering if the U.S. market is worth even getting into affiliate options and earnings wise ? Or do you now have to target markets outside of the states to make any real profits ?


Thanks in advance !

You're probably best to stay away from the US market, at least until the gov't decides what they are going to do.

I know the poker and sports betting area's of online gambling have really taken hits but i haven't really kept up with the online casino niche , but i figured they were having as much trouble because of the problems moving money around for us players. Im just not sure im as confident in being able to target non-u.s. players in a profitable way. Which is why i am still on fence as to if i want to invest into it.

For the time being I would stay away then

You can target UK and Canadian players. They speak English (parts of Canada). I think, if you work hard at it, there is always money to be made in this industry.

Thanks. Maybe my timing is off for getting in on the ground floor and letting the legal aspects in the states clear up first may be best move.

The Canadian market was one of my first thoughts. But then my next question i asked myself is with the US market drying up and so many established affiliates moving out and to these other area's how saturated is a market like Canada now. Seems like it could be a up hill climb timing wise.

I don't agree that the US market is drying up.

Actually, I see just the opposite.

Lots, Thanks for the reply. Really even with all the processing problems there seem to be now getting money to and back offshore ? Or is it not so extreme of a problem as i am thinking it is ? I have played offshore sports book wise but i have never really been a online casino player as i can do that locally. Just figured with the new laws and money movement issues there would be quite a drop in online sign ups and conversion rates.
