How do you pick an affiliate network? How do you know it’s not just hype?

[RevenueLab]

We’ve been in iGaming for 13 years and learned what actually counts when choosing a program.









Here’s what we always recommend checking:

Reputation. Always read what people say on forums and chats. Real feedback shows more than any promo page.

Vertical Focus. Some networks spread across every niche, others go deep into one. It’s easier to scale when the network knows your vertical inside out.

Allowed Traffic & GEOs. Common mistake — affiliates take offers without checking if their traffic or GEO fits. Always confirm before you run campaigns.

Payout Models. CPA and CPL are easier for beginners — quick payouts for actions like sign-ups. Hybrid or RevShare can bring more, but better for those who already understand their traffic.

Support & Tools. Good managers save time. Built-in trackers, fast stats, ready-made landers — all small things that help affiliates earn faster.

That’s our checklist. What’s yours?
