Gambling Affiliates : How They Make Money

Gambling affiliates and how we make money. I touched on this earlier but will now elaborate. What is most important to know is that gambling affiliates never cost the player anything regardless of what kind of payment commission plan they may be on. It is said that the amounts earned from each payment model all come out to about the same in the end which I believe is true for those payment plans that provide residual income.

Gambling affiliates need residual income because ours is an extremely competitive industry. To provide service you have to let people know you exist and that can be quite a hard endeavor in the online gambling industry.

There are thousands of websites, perhaps millions, all competing for the top results returned on keyword phrases such as "online casino". The field of potential keywords is very finite and as you can imagine and all the bases are well covered and the competition stiff.

Gambling portals will bounce in and out of favor with the search engines depending upon what algorithm they are using to decide their results for that month and during those periods when a website falls out of the top results the only way it can sustain the dry spells is by having residual income.

There are two kinds of residual income models, three if you count poker. The first is a straight percentage of income derived from any player sent to the casino. I remind everyone again this costs the player nothing, as the money would otherwise go straight into the casino's pocket and in fact does whenever a player joins that casino by finding it through a search engine, and those players get nothing extra but lose having a place to turn for recourse if that casino ever mistreats them in any way because I assure you that Google is not going to threaten to stop returning that casino in its results because you got mistreated but that is quite likely the scenario when you sign up at a casino through a reputable portal such as this one. I will not continue to send players to an establishment which is not treating people right.

The casinos are aware that gambling affiliates have online communities, in fact they join us for discussions and no casino network wants a respected portal owner to come in and start claiming one of his/her players was mistreated by their casino. Since these establishments all know where a surfer is arriving from, they have the option to choose to treat players arriving from affiliate sites better than those arriving from search engines because those portal sites represent literally thousands of future players.

It is no secret that in life, especially business, those who can do the most to increase a bottom line are going to get preferential treatment over the smaller sized money. That's not to say the smaller size money won't be treated well, but it is just a fact that those representing a big difference in profit for a company are going to get treated better.

By choosing a casino through a gambling affiliates portal website, you are essentially assuring yourself of getting better treatment because each gambling guide and casino portal are naturally going to be sending more than just themselves as sources of income to the casino, therefore they represent all the players to have come thru that source in the past, present and more important the future.

Savvy players need only find a gambling guide that appears to care, such as one offering a cash-guarantee :), if you absolutely must stray from my sites for choosing a casino then please at least make sure the portal site where you are choosing the casino has a working email address, better yet, make sure they answer, because this is how you will need to contact the portal owner if you ever have problems with the casino.

Now isn't that nice to hear? Now you have some where to go if the casino support refuse to listen to your problem,  or if they freeze your account with no explanation.
