Hello guys!

I'm glad to be here! And very excited.

I have never promoted casino or poker in the past, but I have thought about it for a very, very long time.
I'm not new to affiliate marketing, but I have never gone into this niche.

Now, I have found out about 888poker and 888casino and it looks like they have some nice CPAs and % share.
But, I can't find anywhere experiences with this brand regarding affiliate promoting.

Anyone knows why is that?

How can I figure out is it a good deal to promote poker and casino from them as a combo without going 'all in' with my new project?


Thanks guys!

no idea why there isnt that much info, but from personal experience, theyre one of the most reliable partners in multiple markets. i prefer the legal side of the business, and thats what they do - sometimes to surprising extremes.

cons:
- theres something underlyingly shady about their affiliate platform - you have even less means than normally to find out if your earnings are being shaved or not. the deals sound good, but last time i checked, the CPA has some outrageous wagering requirements, and its hard to track whether youre getting all the revenue share youre supposed to.

- they charge a transaction fee for every payment.

Although they are (or appear to be) one of the Big Players in their field, their affiliate program has a very long history of being more than just a little bit dodgy.
I'm 99% sure they were shaving me many years ago when I promoted them.
You need to be VERY careful with any affiliates based in Israel.

With 888 you need to be super careful. Our experience with 888 is really super bad.

Im sorry, but i think we can not generalize all affiliates from Israel. some experiences could be good or bad than others.

It got so dodgy in Israel, that their own Government, commenced a task-force to investigate and prosecute, all criminal behavior of those running Binary scams. FYI... a % of those running the binary scams also operate/ed casinos too.

Kasino King, like myself and many other affiliates who frequent AGD, have literally years or experience. To the best of my knowledge, none of us project or embrace an antisemitism outlook. However, going on the numerous past experiences of affiliate programs based in Israel, a HUGE % of these programs are cheating bastards.

Maybe when you have 10, 15 or 20 years experience in this industry, you too will avoid igaming programs running out of Israel.

They didn't convert at all in my project, so don't work with them anymore. There a lot of other casinos that perform MUCH MORE better.

Unfortunately, and I say unfortunately as I have personal connection to Israel, that is true. (I mean Aussie & KK comments).

Israel is indeed a start up nation and there is a huge drive to create/invent/succeed. They have the highest rate of Nobel winners per population and the number of amazing companies with roots in Israel is far beyond what one would expect. But somehow when it comes to the gambling world, the positive agenda of finding shortcuts and creative solutions turned into cutting corners and strange ways to make money.

No idea why it became like that but it's true. Maybe related in a way gambling is seen in Israel and attracted people which are ok to work in grey areas in grey fashion.

Of course it doesn't mean that all are like that but there is something there and one should be more picky.

Plus, players coming from Israel are not accepted at none of the casinos I am promoting so I have blocked Israel IP's from access most of my websites. Anyway, most of these visits are either bots or some affiliate programs that I have never heard of that are trying to "lure" me.

888 are known as 888.con to me.

Yes - Very little traffic from Israel are players - a lot of bots / spammers though.
We've done the same thing.

@jopaa and @TheGooner - ditto guys. I try not to block too many countries given the competitiveness of our industry these days. However, some places just have way too many negatives to simply overlook and let slide.

888.con - that made me laugh :D
