Casino affiliate programs offer a way to make money from the worldwide gambling industry. Most programs offer a choice of cost per acquisition, percentage of casino winnings, or percentage of deposits.

There is no need to hold a casino licence and there is no financial risk. The casino operators assume the risk of the player winnings. Basically it is a pay for performance program. If you can provide the casinos or sportsbooks with players they will pay you by one of a variety of methods.

Some programs are an integral part of the casino or sportsbook and others are run by marketing companies and represent a number of casinos. By grouping casinos together it makes it easier to keep up to date with current promotions (by only having to visit one site to get the information), and your revenue is combined, meaning less checks to track and easier to meet the minimum payments.

Some things to look out for in the terms and conditions are:

• The type of online reporting and how often is it updated,
• What is the minimum payment amount,
• Can you be paid by NeTeller or similar service as this is much faster, and
• Do you have to open a real player account.

Another indication of a good program is whether they answer your emails, or review your submission, in a timely manner. If they take a number of days, expect their customer service to be the same and players don't like this.

Like the online casinos there are reputable programs and there are some where you will never see your money. Below are a few of the more profitable programs.
