Default New Casino Site Sub Links?

I'm about to launch my first casino site and i am looking for suggestions as to who i should promote.

This is my list so far.

Betfair, Ladbrokes, Virgin, Bodog, Coral, VIP Slots, Rushmore

Any more i should consider?

I have highlighted sites i still need to sign up for, so send me sub links.

I don't promote a lot of casinos but out of the ones I have I've always done best with 888.

For RTG, Main Street Affiliates + Club World are the most trusted. For microgaming, Vegas Affiliates retention is out of this world and they blow away my other microgaming earnings by 5X every single month with the same traffic. You should definitely consider getting on board with these programs. They are some of the best online.

As much as I hate to, I am going against Randy's advice on Referback. I opted not to push referback after finding out that once a player is tagged to a particular affiliate, they are that affiliates for life no matter what casino they sign up for. So what happens is you can send all kinds of new depositors and never make a dime because they are already tagged to the original affiliate for life. I will never work programs that pay everyone but me when I land a new depositor. I guess it works both ways, but it will take a long while for you to start making some money with referback and I would recommend you starting out with some programs that will pay you instant dividends on your new players. Referback is a down the road deal. Definitely a trusted program, I personally just don't think they are a good fit for my business, especially for a new casino affiliate like you.

So, you are a glass is half-empy kind of person. To me, this can work both ways.

Sure Mike, it can work both ways. But I think for a new casino affiliate it is important to get a nice shot in the arm early on for marketing budgets and what not. You also have to consider that a large majority of these players already have an account at one of their casinos, so while your searching for one of those players who do not have an account with any of their brands yet, your making other affiliates money when you can be building instant revenue by working with other programs. All of those conversions you are not getting paid on would be a profit center for you elsewhere. Sure, if your an old timer that was with them early on, then you have the nuts with this program. For newer affiliates to the casino industry, I would make another choice on who to promote. Thats just me though, if you have a different agenda and want to wait a year to start making any decent money with them, by all means get into bed with them.

All I can say is I put them up for a few months when I first got in the biz, and it didn't take me long to start popping a few K a month at other programs, and I didn't find out until after the fact why I hadn't earned a penny yet at referback despite sending them a comparable amount of traffic as the programs where I was popping a few K a month. If I had known this when I started I would not have wasted all that traffic sending visitors to a site that I had no shot at making any money with because the majority of them already belonged to another affiliate, despite me closing the sale. I am not trying to throw them under the bus or anything, they are a good program. They just don't fit into my plans and I doubt many newer casino affiliates will be hip to this way of doing things.

Going to bookmark this thread, as I've been toying with the idea of casino too and it looks like there's some good advice here!
