The main affiliate deals offered by online gambling operators are offered to all no matter how many sites you have, the amount of daily traffic you generate or most importantly the amount of revenue your network is generating. To me this seems not to be fair. Should a novice affiliate get exactly the same rate as someone who has been working in the industry for years? Should somebody with a single site with poor quality content get the same rate as somebody with 20+ sites in his network crammed with quality content? Of course not! Operators know this and in most cases they will negotiate with succesful affiliates.
For those who have been successful in the gambling affiliate for some time with proof of earnings for their sites I would recommend that even before adding links from a new operator, that you contact the site’s account manager. It’s the account manager’s job to get quality affiliates promoting his brand so he will welcome your call or email. In many cases he will ask for proof of sign ups and revenue generated from your sites so make sure you have these at hand.
The same also applies if you have been promoting a site for some time pushing your monthly revenue up to at least £500 per month. When you get to this stage contact the site asking for a better deal as you have proved you are successful & committed to promoting their brand. Remember not only are you generating income for yourself, but also the operator you are promoting. In most cases you will find it easier than you would expect to secure a better deal. If you fail then ask what monthly target you should reach to secure a better deal. Over the years I have listened to many sob stories form operators about tight margins, increased overheads and of course how their superb support is worth an extra 5% anyway. Strange that when I say that I’m thinking of switching to another site they offer me a better deal.
For new affiliates starting out in the gambling affiliate industry I would strongly advise you to really push one site. Of course promote other sites but try and push as much traffic as you can to your main site. Working this way you will be in a position to negotiate a better deal much sooner than if your revenue was split between several operators. Once you have an improved deal this is virtually like a golden ticket to contact other operators to secure other better deals.
