FROM THE FORUMS #13 Alpha-Affiliates 24 March 2020, 9:36 a.m. Sponsor Affiliate Program We have a sportbetting project and also have a casino. We closed all sport and are focusing on sending only casino traffic and most our affiliates do the same. They advertise our casinos in the bookmakers or sport sites and we are actually like an affiliate program with 7 different casinos open. “ Reply With Quote #11 wonderpunter 24 March 2020, 1:41 a.m. Private Member Years ago I moved into casino just as a side lie when sports were on break for summer, it was the best move I ever made. “ Reply With Quote “ Casino is always a good space that isn’t going away anytime soon. I personally think esports is a great vertical that is going to continue to grow i n popularity . But I’m also a bit concerned about ‘how to monetize’ it from an affiliate side of things .” #14 Rowdie 24 March 2020, 4:03 p.m. Private Member My experience, back when I used to work for a bookie, was that punters and casino play- ers are 2 separate entities. We tried with free spins extra bonuses, etc. to convince punters to play in casino but only less than 10% did so and those who did were not really making too much turnover. My advice: Just wait. “ Reply With Quote #12 drifter8 24 March 2020, 5:20 a.m. Private Member We have to think from punter’s point of view: • If I am bettor on sports like football, basketball, tennis or boxing, I will search for similarities. • So, if I have planned to make bets on daily basis with a budget I will definitely test, try and bet on virtuals. • Dice is more Asian style of gambling. • Lottery is for old people (I will definitely skip it). • If you have sports orientated site, definitely make a switch or at least produce content on the virtual section of any site you promote. I will give another prospective as a former sports trader. We had a lot of players who placed plenty of bets on virtual sports like football and basket- ball. If you have the fever, passion or addiction to do it, yes, you will choose virtuals. “ Reply With Quote G P W A t i m e s . o r g 18
