How Much Do Gambling Affiliates Earn?

The gambling industry continues to rise with as much as 1.6 billion people being consistent players. If you put that into percentage, that is roughly 26% of the entire world’s population, and that’s not all. The world gambling statistics show that at least 4.2 billion people gamble at least once a year. Which makes up almost half, if not more than, of the world’s population as at 2022.

All this is possible thanks to gambling affiliates and if you are yet to make up your mind on being a gambling affiliate, perhaps these case studies will give you better insight and the inspiration you need to finalize on being a gambling affiliate.

Income to Expect From Gambling Affiliate Marketing

The earnings of a gambling affiliate cannot be narrowed down to specific figures per monthly basis which is one of the things that makes the game interesting and more competitive. A good gambling affiliate can earn up to $23 000, and more per month if such affiliate is ranking top in big search volume keywords and all. However, this figure is not the least a gambling affiliate can earn, a lazy gambling affiliate can earn lower depending on the efforts he or she puts into the hustle.

A hardworking and determined gambling affiliate can earn even higher than the prime minister of the UK, to as much as $100 000 per month. For more understanding of how you can also make higher commission rates, here are 3 ways gambling affiliates earn;

• Through Cost Per-Acquisition. This type of structure guarantees you a flat rate commission whenever a player you referred wins or loses a game. It is recommended for affiliates that intend to stay dominant in the game.
• Through Revenue Share. Unlike CPA, rev share earns you continuous commissions for as long as the player you referred keeps playing. This is one of the best gambling affiliate plans, and you earn a minimum of 40% for each referral which is incomparable.
• Through a Hybrid Deal. Hybrid Deals are a combination of both CPA and rev share. With this type of plan, you get paid small amounts for the player, and also for advertisement. And then you enjoy a small percentage for as long as the player you referred to plays the game.

Above all, it is important to learn how the game is being played by professional affiliates who have been in it for long. This will give you a better understanding on the kind of approach to make.

Case #1: Mark Taylor

The case of Mark Taylor is one that shows how interesting and amazing gambling affiliate marketing can be. His story is one that started off when he created a sports betting affiliate site in 2009 but things took a drastic turn. Although not being specific with the figures, statistics show that his betting affiliate site was not generating enough traffic for him to make money during the off-seasons.

Mark was forced to look for other alternatives, and that was when gambling affiliate marketing came into the picture for him. In 2015, Mark Taylor became the owner of the casino whizz and he has made 70 - 80% of his entire net worth from this platform, ever since. You might think he goes to extra lengths to make so much income but the trick is, he selects games made by popular brands and sells them to players through his site.

Just like you can see in the image above. This is more of a CPA plan because readers who are interested in the game go for it and he gets his commission whenever they click. And since his affiliate site gets a lot of visitors, it is no secret that he will earn more as he converts readers to players from this affiliate site.

You can see that there are many ways to earn money in the iGame industry. One of which is to create a unique affiliate site and convert readers into players which will earn you roughly $20 000 to $50 000 a month, if not more.

Case #2: John Crestani

Our second case study does the complete opposite of the first, and yet he has managed to accumulate a stunning net worth of $7.5 million from gambling affiliates. “How did he do that?” If you are still wondering, and asking questions like these then it means you are still in doubt about how big the iGame industry is.

A little secret of how he acquired his wealth is through his youtube channel. Unlike Mark Taylor who uses his affiliate site to generate traffic enabling him to earn CPA and also commissions on rev shares, John Crestani makes his income from the number of youtube subscribers he has on his channel. The way he does that is quite exclusive and a perfect display of affiliate skills. 

In this video, he showed his audience how to make money online by gambling, and then he added affiliate links to the description. Links that will earn him a flat commission rate when they click and subscribe to the game.

From the presentation of the link, and based on the video description. He informed his viewers that they will not be gambling to get money, rather he will be showing them how to turn gambling affiliates and refer other people to gambling and in turn earn commission rates for themselves.

All it takes is a great mind and the willingness to go the extra mile to get unique ideas on how to get viewers to click that link, just like John Crestani has shown us here. He does not only earn from being an affiliate marketer, youtube also pays him a commission for the number of views and subscribers he has. Don’t wonder how he managed to earn himself such a net worth, you can also make it happen.

Conclusion

Statistics show that the gambling industry generates not less than $200 billion every year, and you might wonder how much of this money gambling affiliates take. Some gambling plans leave you with as much as 50% commission rate at once, while some do you continuous justice until your referred player decides to quit. Whichever plan you decide to go with, being consistent is all you need to make it into the league of top commission earners just like in the case of Mark Taylor and John Crestani.
