promoting casinos and Neteller - advise!

[Max Robson]

Hi Guys

not sure if this is the right place to post.

I'm looking to promote some payment options along side my casino blog, from experience is this worthwhile?

Is anyone here promote neteller on their site?

thanks all much appreciated!

I would advise to stay away from promoting the Skrill and Neteller affiliate programs. What they do is take your customers and mail them their own casino/ poker/ gaming offers. Both of these ewallet companies became affiliates themselves over the last few years.

On my sites I have information about Skrill, Neteller etc, but I only have links directly to the casinos.

thanks for the reply

is the reason why you don't link to them is because of the first comment?

Think of it like this Max... It's like you sending your site visitors to another casino affiliate's portal and wondering why you have no signups. Both Neteller and Skrill most likely set up their affiliate program, for the sole purpose of gaining confirmed gamblers; it's akin to shooting fish in a barrel.

And because both of these web wallets are also affiliates to their marketed casinos/poker rooms etc, referring any of your site visitors to these web wallets, will have Neteller and Skrill marketing their casino/poker rooms etc to these players instead of you. Remember to have a Neteller or Skrill account, members have to disclose personal data and contact information, something you or I don't have access to.

In a few simple words, don't go there, bad idea

 

[3joker]

Yeah, you want your visitors to sign up directly at the casinos, no detours.

I agree with Bet4You and CygX1, moreover, earnings are so small that it is not worth doubly

 

[RyanWeb]

You should marketing to players that already have neteller accounts. The articles should read... Hey if you have neteller go to this casino or this casino because they accept neteller... You want to work at getting the casino customers.. Not work to get neteller customers..

can't agree more.

Thanks for the advice. I've considered signing up for their programs since we have pages for them. Will steer clear now for sure.

Wouldn't agree with those entirely mate. commission may be low but their good to have on your sites

This is what their promotions look like: showcase.neteller.com Forex, casino, poker, bookmakers... it's all there.

I've had a lot of success with Neteller. You just need to tackle it from a different angle than you would a casino. If you build pages about payment methods, why not use that opportunity to diversify your income? There are also chances that you'll get people who are interested in the payment method and actually cross-sell them to casino.

And that story about Neteller stealing casino players is bogus. Would a payment processing company stay in the business for so long and constantly receive awards at iGaming events if they did that? Think about it, guys.

For me personally, anything that gives me new ideas for content is a good thing. And with Neteller I found a huge source of inspiration for creating content (videos, infographics, promotions, etc.)

Moot point because plenty of casinos with an extremely bad reputation for screwing affiliates, win lots of awards too.

As far as Neteller stealing players and myself and other long standing members are BS (basically what you've just said), your entitled to your opinion.

That's a very troll like comment imho... just sayin!

I didn't say "BS", I said it's false. I didn't imply you were making it up deliberately, but that you believe in something that probably started as a false accusation. Having worked at online casinos before, I know how easy it is to start rumours like that.

And I don't agree with you that mine was a "moot point". Screwing affiliates every once in a while probably happens with some of the casinos that have won awards, yes. But you can't compare that to a deliberate company POLICY or BUSINESS MODEL based on stealing from every affiliate. I know our industry is considered shady, but I can't imagine that ever happening.

Actually, other than being a Neteller affiliate, I'm in no way "affiliated" with them. These are my personal opinions.

Yes, if you build websites about payment methods only it might make a lot of sense.

If anyone assumes that these igaming awards can be taken any serious and chooses business partners based on that opinion, they will get burned sooner or later.

It's 20% commission on fee revenue. How much are NT fees these days?
Seems the flate rate of $5USD for the card is a better deal.

If NT diverts a rmp from your tagged affiliate id to one under their affiliate id via a promo no amount of fee generated commission is going make up that revenue loss.
