Online Casino

What percentage of downloads should you expect to turn into depositing players?

Since last month, I’ve seen about 10% of my clicks turn into downloads (60 out of 500) but none of them have deposited yet. Is this normal?

I feel like I’m missing the point somewhere… I always thought the hard part would be getting the traffic, but I’m getting a decent amount.

My site’s not full of huge flashing banners, mainly just 1 or 2 small ones per page, placed inside small explanatory text boxes, so anyone who clicks on an ad should have a good idea what to expect. If they then go further and download, I would have thought they were pre-sold on the casino. Clearly not!

As a former player, I tried to design my site around what I would have wanted to see. A big part of this is to allow free practice. Is that where I’m going wrong? Will players go to the trouble of downloading just to play for free when there are instant Flash casinos available?

I’m enjoying sussing out this business, but I’m starting to see it as a brick wall – and my head’s hurting! :banger:

player conversions depend on casinos you promote on your sites. I’ve been promoting wrong affiliate programs with the worst conversions for 6 months at the beginning of my business and I’ve been having very good traffic from search engines for a new site, but I have been earning nothing. But when I targeted traffic to another affiliate programs I started earning. It was so offensively for me when I knew that I promoted wrong programs because I worked very hard. I was so stupid that I didn’t participate on forums, and didn’t know what programs were well.

Thanks for your reply, aksana.

It’s true, of course, that promoting the wrong casinos is pointless, but it’s hard to get a consensus of opinion on which casinos are ‘right’.

I chose my casinos based on the fact that they offer what I thought my visitors wanted, rather than on conversion rates, but now I think I may be backing the wrong horses.

I’m sure you don’t want to give too much away(!) but could you point out if and where I’m going wrong and where I could improve?

I currently promote:

Spin Palace/Ruby Fortune (Wagershare)
Play United (Earn United)
Captain Cook’s (Rewards Affiliates)
Golden Palace (Casino Blasters)

In your hard-earned experience, do any of these stand out as being no-go areas?!

Thanks.

I don’t know about Play United Cap certification, try to find their forum on CAP.
I also promote them and Spin Palace also, but all these casinos don’t accept US players from all US states. I recommend to do the search on this forum and find affiliate recommendations.

Play united is no longer CAP certified. Plus they no longer accept us players, i stopped promoting them months ago, but i can say Ryan is very good over there he always helped me with any issues i had, and i always was paid on time, that i cannot say is true for other programs! :hattip:

Thanks to everyone who replied to my message.

Suppose it’s obvious, but not promoting anyone who accepted ALL US players is a bit daft!

So, taking your advice on board, I’ve hooked up with Bodog. I know they’re not everyone’s cup of tea but I – perversely – quite like the fact that they don’t accept every affiliate who applies. It’s an attempt at quality control, I suppose.

Now I’ll see if I’ve just been promoting the wrong casinos all along.

If I have, I’ll be mad. Relieved, but mad!

PS aksana, congrats on the new site layout – nice work!

promoting free play or no deposit bonus will attract the wrong traffic
