With thousands of online casinos operating globally, operators spend massive fortunes on marketing and advertising.
If you have ever read a casino review or clicked a link on a gambling blog, you have interacted with an affiliate.
How the Affiliate System Operates
An affiliate is an independent marketer, website owner, or influencer who promotes a specific online casino.
The casino essentially outsources its marketing efforts to thousands of independent websites around the world.

How Affiliates Get Paid
If the player loses $100, and the affiliate has a 30% RevShare deal, the affiliate earns $30.
As long as the referred player continues to gamble and lose at the casino, the affiliate continues to earn a percentage.
Understanding CPA Affiliate Deals
The alternative to RevShare is the Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) payment model.
This model is preferred by affiliates who need immediate cash flow rather than waiting for long-term player losses.
