Gambling arbitrage – what is it
Earnings on online casino affiliate programs along with adult affiliate programs is the easiest and most profitable vertical in affiliate marketing. It is relatively easy to attract customers, for some GEOs (with proper targeting) to get a conversion (paid customer), 5-15 clicks or 200-300 impressions are enough, depending on which method is more relevant for the advertising grid. This is not an absolute, but only an average indicator among members of the LeadBit CPA network. Really do better.
The last argument in favor of gambling is the low cost of a mistake. The vertical is suitable for a novice affiliate marketer and webmaster who has encountered affiliate marketing for the first time. However, experienced carts prefer not to change the gold mine with a yield of 1000% for more complex niches. Here, the quality of offers is not as critical as, for example, in product and luxury niches – due to clumsy banners and landing pages, traffic will drop, but will not drop to zero. Small entry price. If this is arbitration (promotion through paid advertising), you can start with a hundred bucks, even $ 30-50 is enough, and even $ 20 for niche tests. If something does not work out, the losses will be small.
A simplified (for those who are familiar with the topic for the first time) scheme of working in gambling arbitrage:

How to choose where to find offers from casinos and bookmakers?

It is necessary to take into account the requirements for the quality of traffic – the fewer requirements, the better. And the popularity of a particular institution in the region. For example, in England, Ireland, offers from local bookmakers (bet365, William Hill) are the best. In Italy, Canada, there are large casinos with a large selection of slots, such as LEOVEGAS. In RuNet – Vulkan, an online reincarnation of gaming clubs popular in the 90s – 2000s.
Payment methods in gambling:
RevShare – a lifetime percentage of the profit from the client;
CPL – pay per lead: user registration on the site;
CPA – pay per action: deposit.
