With great power comes great responsibility, which is a mantra that bet365 likely has embedded in its company culture. As one of the largest and most established brands in the iGaming industry, bet365 has mitigated the waters of being an industry leader rather well thanks to sound business practices and a renowned staff.
Pros
With a player base of 6 million globally, bet365 has the chops to provide a top-notch betting experience and can offer high-quality products throughout sports, gaming and financials. The strength of the bet365 brand and its various products means there’s fantastic cross-product conversions and industry-leading retention rates. The group also runs off of a one wallet system, making it easy for players to migrate throughout its portfolio of products.
The affiliate program is completely run in-house, with a fairly expansive accounts team. The bet365 team also has an excellent reputation for being responsive, courteous and prompt with payments.
The group also offers a wide range of marketing products, including live odds banners that use the latest push technology to display current odds on a range of sports. bet365 also streams over 20,000 events each year, making it a favorite among players globally.
In 2010, bet365 was awarded eGaming Review’s Annual Power 50 and also won the Best Affiliate Programme 2010 and 2011 at the iGB Awards.
Cons
With a program as large as this one, affiliates will need to capture and retain a large amount of players in order to start making some real money. The program does not offer a sub-affiliate program, so affiliates can’t refer other affiliates and make money.
As of now, bet365 does not accept players from France and the US.
