Hello, guys

I m a new member here and this is my first post. I have to say that I ve learned a lot from the forums and hugely appreciate the guides and tips you guys share here.

My question here is for people doing gambling, casino affiliate marketing. Which advertising channels have worked best for you? Youtube, Facebook, Push adds, Google adwords, Native ads, Guest Pos, E-mail, SMS or Blog Banners and what conversion rates should one expect when starting out. I want to point out that I do not want to focus on SEO and free traffic, as I have a marketing budget and understand that paid traffic has much faster payouts and results.

If it's possible, I would like to also see some stats and numbers, at least ballpark ones.

Hey,

Rookie here too but with about half a year under my belt. USA based. YouTube by far has been the best for me. Have tried Facebook and Instagram (not advertising just having a page related to my sites). Sorry don't have much more info, still learning myself and curious what the pros have to input. I should mention I have had success with the YouTube videos, gambling related. Not $1,000's per month, but definitely $100's per month coming in and its been steadily growing.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to respond, man. Hope you have great success in your endeavors. Another quick question, if I may. Well, a 2-parter, actually. When you re saying Youtube, are you referring to sponsored videos from creators or Youtube ads? And secondly, not asking about data of course, but could you give an insight into your usual conversion rates from Youtube?

If you cannot share this, sorry for asking.

Not surprisingly you will find that these "Big Boys" do not allow direct gambling advertising unless you a) Are licenced and b) Have VERY deep pockets!
You can get away with subtle advertising using Youtube - but you have to be careful. I know of a few affiliates who had their channels closed down.

No problem at all. So basically I'm creating videos either reviewing the site I'm an affiliate for, or playing on it. More reviews honestly so far (like "here's the top 5 pros and cons of this site", "why you should bet on xyz site", "new early cash out feature on xyz". ) . I'm more on the sports betting side of it, and I already had an audience from years of posting videos making picks on games, talking sports etc. so when I started doing reviews, I had that trusted audience already which definintely helped. I'm starting to branch more into the casino side of it though (through another channel) and basically replicate the same idea.

As for conversion rates, honestly I'm not sure. I'm still pretty part time at the affiliate thing, so a lot of it has been experimenting, throw lots of things out and see what works best and focus on that more, along with trying to read through the forums and get gems of info on best practices. The reason I say YouTube has worked best is when I do look at my referring sources on the affiliate side about half of the sign ups come from people linking off youtube, the rest are spread amongst the other stuff like twitter, instagram, guest posts, reddit, pintrest, etc.
