It’s not hard to see why Online Gambling Affiliate Programs are some of the most profitable Affiliate Programs on the Internet. Casinos are money making machines - Las Vegas is a testament to that - and as an affiliate, you get to take your cut from it.

When you refer players to an Online Casino or Poker Room - you don’t just get a flat fee referral (although you do usually have that option), you get a share in the revenue generated by that player, usually around 25% for new affiliates. For Online Casino players, that means 25% of everything they lose - it’s quite possible that you could refer just one player to a casino, and earn commissions of several hundred dollars a month. For poker players, you earn a percentage of all rakes they contribute to - so a very active poker player could earn you some significant cash.

These revenue share percentages are usually for the lifetime of the player, which means as you start to refer more and more players, your net monthly income will grow over time, to the point where it will even earn you money if you stopped promoting it.

Compare this to something like the Amazon affiliate program where the buyer you refer might buy a book, and a DVD for a total affiliate payment of under $10 and little prospect of earning more.

There are variations in affiliate programs terms and conditions, so make sure you read each one thoroughy and know what the rules are, but no matter how you slice it, Gambling Affiliate Programs can be very profitable and are a great way for even a casual affiliate to earn some nice money.

Anyone can start referring players by writing an article for us here at Gamblz.com - why not review some of the games at your favorite casino, or relate some experience you’ve had with customer support staff etc. Add in your personal affiliate tag from an affiliate program you choose, sit back and watch the numbers climb.

We’ll be putting together a list of recommended gambling affiliate programs soon, with full profiles and details about what they have to offer. If you have no idea where to begin, that would make a great place to start - so keep an eye out, it’ll be here soon.
