I’ve seen various options for commission payment options and i’m a bit lost what i should do.
The CPA model seems like a decent option to start with for me, starting out new in the gambling niche it allows me to stay motivated and put something aside for further potential opportunities and developments.
But then…
I see posts about people not even being awarded their CPA commission because the player needs to increase in value, thus lose more money first before proceeding with the CPA payout?
I wouldn’t call this a CPA model by any means.
And revenue share…
I see posts about being in the negative? – i don’t understand this and i would really appreciate if someone could ad their 2 cents on this.
And carry over? – what does that mean?
I’m not exactly new to affiliate marketing, but this niche is completely new for me, and i can’t find a solid answer that satisfies me i have found a good clear picture on the payment options and associated pitfalls or advantages.
Cheers!
Each has their ups and downs.
CPA is good for sites in which the market players are cheap.. IE I assume a website about bonus hunting (don’t do it) or free slots would prefer CPA. Generally speaking people looking for bonuses or free stuff should not be high stakes players.
Negative revenue share and negative carry-over is that you earn a portion of your players’ losses. But what if they win? Say you have 50 players and they’ve won 10k this month somehow. You earn 0$. And some companies will carry this 10k over to the next month, so you’ll earn 0$ as long as your players haven’t lost 10k or more.
For a long time I believed CPA was better but in the end, it isn’t. The best is revshare in casino / pokerroom / sportsbook with no carry-over.
I thought everyone was like me and would never lose more than 100$, but I was wrong. People constantly play above what they should be playing.
I have sportsbettors which only play for 1$ a day and some others who never lose, so they frustrate me, but in the end the ones that do lose are worth more than the combined CPA of all the players you signed up.
Well put JackTen.
I also prefer revenue share with no carry over although wager share is pretty good as well, but only a few programs offer it. I never had a really large winner like some have but I get some players depositing multiple times per day and losing it all. It sucks when a winner wipes you out at the end of the month but it happens sometimes and once you start seeing the same players making you money month after month, its definitely a better choice. CPA won’t get you that.
