New Casino Site Sub Links?

[ThePokerBank]

What's 32Red like to affiliate for? Casinomeister rates the room pretty highly, giving it something like the best casino of the year 4 times in a row. Haven't had chance to test it out yet, but it seems pretty well focused on the UK market and so should convert well with UK players I imagine.

As far as microgaming casinos go, why are they such a favourite with players? I played at a few microgaming casinos and I didn't think that they were too impressive. I found casinos on the Playtech and Boss media networks looked better and were easier to use.

I've made a shortlist of the top 5 casinos I would promote when starting a new site, and it looks like this:

Rushmore
CasinoClub
32Red
Bet365
Bodog

Are there any that you would throw out or place? I'm pretty new to the whole casino side of things, and that list is based on my first impressions of the casinos and my knowledge from scouting around casinomeister and stuff.

Microgaming has a ton of slots games, especially progressives. Casino players love slots.

Ditto, and to add the players also love the freespins feature games. They are really a lot of fun to play and give players a lot of excitment for their buck.

thepokerbank: If your targeting the UK market I think 32red is prob a good choice. I have never done much with them, but then again I am really usa focused and 32red does not take usa players.

I do pretty well at times with 365, plus they are a well known brand in the uk which helps to convert.

Rushmore was rock n roll there for a while with that crazy 400% bonus offer up to $2K, but as of late they have been having a lot of processing problems that other rtgs have not been having, so I have dropped them down a tad until things get back to normal but when it is, they convert like a champ.

Bodog is probably always a good choice for poker and sports, but really I don't push their casino all that much. Its hard to want to put up a link offering a 10% bonus when every other rtg casino offers at least 100% bonus plus, and also the others take care of my players much better than bodog when it comes to reload bonuses and what not.

Silly and very basic question, but what's the definition of microgaming?

Microgaming is a software provider.

32red are considered so highly for these reasons

excellent support , live chat

autoplay feature built in

fast payouts (2-3 hours back to neteller generally)

excellent monthly bonuses and occassional "super" offers like the mega moolah one a few months back

the only downside to them is they are quick to cut players off monthly bonuses if they win a few in a row, and no sports book to bust casino winnings out of. to ensure stay in the good books

as an affiliate program, they are held in the same light

if your targetting eurpoean/Uk players, ladbrokes and gala/coral are musts skybetvegas another good one

i like to promote casinos with bookie arms, as the way the payouts go you earn when they lose so i promote the casinos to build a roll and the bookies to bust out of by laying at betfair.

this keeps players in the good books with the sites and ensures ongoing offers for either casino or sports and it also ensures i actually earn off them

im sure there are other models that target casino degens that are profitable to affiliates , i just havent explored that area and would welcome some experiences being relayed here on that niche

Okay, cheers for the top information everyone. Much appreciated.

hey

I will get in casino business as well, if you guys are starting as well, we can share sub links with each other, I was asking this at CAP also but not many people showed interest in it, so if you like this idea send me a PM

Shameless self promotion but I am the AM for www.thisisvegas.com using www.400affiliates.com. The software is www.rivalpowered.com and another good Rival is Slotocash.

As for a software breakdown and programs I would recommend:

Microgaming:
32red [#1 IMO]
Intertops [#2 IMO]
CasinoRewards
Brightshare
Bellerock
Referback

Playtech:
Bet365
Mansion
Europartners
BetFred

VegasTechnology:
CasinoCoins

RTG
Inetbet
ClubWorld

Slotland
Slotland (use their own software)

I highly recommend the following site which rates the programs along with terms and conditions for the affiliates. By terms I mean showing which programs are ethical and don't have predatory terms to take advantage of the affiliate (you).

Hope that helps.
