Does anyone know if it is possible to sell (i.e. turn over all future revenue to someone else) an affiliate account? The reason I ask is because I may need to generate a large sum of money quickly for another project. I have an affiliate account that earns $500 per month on average. It has earned this for the past years and I assume will earn this for future years etc. Obviously, some months are more, some months less etc. But I need 6k for another business venture ASAP.
Is it possible to sell my account to another affiliate? Let’s say the account earns MORE over the next 12 months or maintains status quo, after 12 months, the money paid to the new ‘affiliate’ is all gravy (because they will have earned their 6k back) and I am willing to give that up for 6k TODAY.
Will an online casino effectively turn over my affiliate payments to ANOTHER affiliate who buys this account from me? Is this possible?
Thanks!
It is possible however you may struggle to sell it without some good proof of the players.
I could easily set up an affiliate account and play myself and earn $1000+ a month, sell the account and never play there again, you will have to prove there are a significant number of signup’s.
I am not saying this is what you have done, i am just trying to state that for this reason they are hard to sell and will you struggle to get anything like 6k for it.
Good luck
Yes it is posible. You simply change the account details and payment details within your affilate control panel. then hand over the username and password to the new owner who changes the password. We’ve done it several times.
Finding a buyer, like GoodIdeasNoTime (nice name btw) says, is a different matter. To sweeten the deal you could offer to make up any shortfall in earnings after a period of say 12 months or 18 months.
I have purchased a few affiliate accounts in this manner before.
You’d need to contact the affiliate program in question to check that they allow you to transfer ownership – any new owner will want conirmation of that (you only need to send them a very short email). Once you have got the payment, you can give the account logon details to the purchaser – who can change the payment info/contact info etc etc.
You’ll need to prove the monthly earnings – as mentioned above, confirming how many players attribute to the revenue will help a sale. Most affiliate programs will confirm the earnings, and give some kind of summary on where the revenue is coming from. If it is from 1 or 2 players, you’ll get less for the account than if it was 100 players…
As ChrisB said, guaranteeing the earnings can make it a better deal for the purchaser – but you just have to negotiate to a point where you are both happy. The purchaser might just prefer a lower purchase price…
I too think 6k is probably a bit optimistic given the current climate (a lot of people have solf off accounts over the last few years) – but there are buyers here on CAP (such as myself) if you decide to sell.

Thanks All!
A lot of good advice there – thank you!
Some comments from me: I can show two solid years of history for this account/as well as players who are still currently active and generating revenue month after month after month. Naturally, each party in this type of transaction is taking a risk – I could sell and next month one of my regular playes goes off for 40k etc. I am not sure how the guarantee idea would work, but if I’m going to offer a guarantee if the account does NOT earn 6k in the next 12 months, I better damn well get a guarantee that if it generates MORE than x amount I get a cut of that (and this situation, I think, is a bit complicated).
So what type of information/screenshots should I have ready to show to prospective buyers? And if anyone is interested in seeing the screenshots and possibly making an offer, please PM me.
Thanks!

It’s the buyer taking all the risk and not you as the seller, the think is, nobody has approached you to sell the account, you are looking for people to buy. This will always put you on the back foot.
Any kind of guarantee either way in my eyes would be worthless anyway, and therfore pointless. What’s the chances of you paying back 5k if the account takes a drop in revenue? and vice versa?
I’m sure someone will buy the account but for nowhere near the amount your looking for. The more information you can provide the better, get all your stats for the past 12 to 24 months if you have them.
As with everything nowadays it’s a buyers market, could you not just keep a hold of the account? after all it could be 6k a year for life.
Yes that was ‘sort of’ a joke and you are right, GINT. Currently, I am leaning toward keeping the account…but for the right price, I would give it up.

We have two such deals running at the moment and they work well. I was using it as an example to helkp this guy think laterally to raise his money.
