I started to work with many different affiliate programs but I'm not sure which ones are trustable and have the best deals.
The best ones are those where you meet the people in person and look into their eyes!
That doesn't 100% guarantee they are good guys, but I trust them more than people I haven't met.

Tell us which markets you are targeting, and who you are already working with, and we can give advice...

I'm targeting New Zealand players. Currently the affiliate programs that I'm starting to work with are Buffalo, Ellmount Gaming, Gig Affiliates, Dunder and Casumo.

Thanks for the help.:)

Casumo and GiG are great for sure, probably some of the very best. But in the end, any brand can turn rogue. Just look at what happened with Kindred. Who would have thought with such trustworthy brands. The downside is that the best programs are usually the casinos that are already over exposed so it can be hard to bring enough customer.

Yep, trust nobody. However, Kindred forced years ago already NCO.

Buffalo is a scam. I wouldn't even consider working with them. Ellmount has had their payment issues.

The other ones are ok. I stick with promoting the best products. The chance of catching customers that are having already an account there is bigger, that's true, but conversion, retention and player values makes it ok.

Thank you for your help.

Many big affiliates work with Buffalo. That's why I thought that they are the most trustable ones. Can you explain me why they are scam?

It's a VERY long story. I know many affiliates feel they are bad guys.

The merging, splitting, merging, splitting and merging again with Betway didn't help...
And if they impose NCO - run a mile!

But to be fair, I have not had many problems with them myself and I think they have treated me personally fairly, considering the tiny amount of traffic I send their way.

I can't really say what is a good brand for NZ, as I don't think I have any players from there at any casinos I promote!
But if you want casinos with NetEnt, MG etc, then 4 other operators worth a look are Plain Partners. MrAffiliate, Alea & Full Cream.

As I said earlier, I'm certainly no expert on casinos for New Zealand - but I do know some good ones for Australia which I'm pretty sure all accept NZ players as well...

I've just recently discovered a new brand which looks like a good 'un for Aus & NZ:
Aff.Rocks Affiliates (Bet247 Casino)

Others I rate very highly:
Superior Group (2 casinos)
Legend Affiliates (3 casinos - no Aus. NZ OK - but no bonuses for them)
Deckmedia (11 different casinos across 4 softwares)
With Deck: No Aus at Sloto'Cash or Miami Club - the rest OK.
What are called "Fifth Street" casinos in the back end are multi-software and include Microgaming, Pragmatic, Betsoft, etc...

And I can tell you - you will earn a lot more $ as a % of the casinos' GGR with these ones than with those you mentioned in your post! ;)

bet365 is one of the best. I have worked with them for long time and it's always great!

I thought bet365 had bad terms and conditions, especially for requirements for FTD?

It's just 5 at the start and then you are good to go. While that being said, their payment process is from the early 2000s, with signing stuff and sending it over, super old tracking and restricted more than half of their affiliate base to promote them and/or restricted what they can say/write/show.

They've been good for all those years ofc, but HEY how about invest a bit into your backend and join 2019. I am tired of sending invoices every month.

Anyways off-topic. I trust brands that I've met the AMs and have become friends with them. Decent people with morals, where if things head south will most likely leave and warn me before the storm hits.

I do mine electronically: I have a Word document template (with my signature on it) - I just cut and paste the figures onto it, change the dates and send it to them by e-mail.
Acceptable by them & doesn't take very long ;)

Bet365 are a rock solid sponsor, negative carryover sucks, but unless you're doing something really wrong you shouldn't have too many negative months. It is probably part of the reason why they are one of the very best affiliate programs. Why shave, adjust stats or move accounts to internal or affiliate managers own affiliate accounts when you know that if your customers win on occasion, you may need a month to catch up, big deal.

I do agree that emailing them a signed form each month is a little archaic, but that's not something I'd consider a negative about an affiliate company.
