Qualities of a great affiliate from an operator’s perspective

 

As the igaming industry continues to grow, innovators everywhere are creating businesses designed to get in on the act.

One of the most lucrative ways to tap into the online casino business is through an affiliate site. These portals are used to drive traffic to online casinos through the affiliate marketing technique.

Although there is plenty of money to be made in this avenue of work, the reality is that not all affiliates make fistfuls of cash. Why? Well, the fact is that some are simply better than others! For operators, they will want to work only with the very best affiliates, namely those with the most desirable attributes.

With that in mind, it is tough to overstate the importance of affiliates to the business. Indeed, a spokesperson from the UK casino Fruity King said “affiliate sites are one of the most vital marketing avenues available to igaming operators.”

In this article, we will take a deeper look at these attributes. From the essentials such as knowledge of the business to more technical things such as SEO expertise, affiliates are expected to boast a wide variety of traits.

So, without further ado, let’s get down to it and take a peek at our list of qualities of a great affiliate from an operator’s perspective.

Know the business inside out

Perhaps the most important thing for any affiliate to remember is that an in-depth knowledge of the igaming business is essential. To effectively function as an affiliate, operators insist on an excellent level of knowledge on all things related to the business.

Think like a gamer

In order to really be a hit with operators, affiliate sites must have the ability to think like a gamer. For operators, sites that function as closely as possible to the way that real players do are the ideal affiliate. This is because the odds of driving traffic to a given operator increase dramatically when the affiliate is positioned close to real-life players!

Whether a pay by phone casino or a site that specializes in another niche, it is key for affiliates to think like gamers!

Be a marketing guru

Increasingly, online casino marketing is an essential component of all advertising. Whether through the use of SEO or link building or an alternative method, the importance of marketing knowledge for affiliates is tough to overstate. More than ever, operators require their affiliates to boast professional-level marketing expertise in order to boost traffic.

The importance of image

The best affiliates know how important it is to maintain a high-quality site. Whether through a stunning design that radiates trustability or through gaining a high profile all over the web, it is possible to get players on board through having a high-end image across the board.

Pedigree is a key factor

Similar to the previous point, operators always look to engage with affiliates that have a strong pedigree in the industry This is a tough one to develop for affiliates as pedigree is hard to acquire instantly. Rather pedigree and respect is something that comes through operating in a high-quality manner over time. With that said, this is just an important element as all others on our list.

We are grateful to the EGR Operator Awards for this distinction, which reinforces that our work toward a safer and more transparent industry is making a real impact. Casino Guru will continue to guide players toward better and fairer gaming experiences, and we are honored to receive this award.”

Casino Guru has repeatedly delivered one of the most comprehensive services in helping inform player opinion. The website focuses exclusively on reviewing online casinos and bonuses based on criteria that matter to the players, such as fair bonus policies and general terms and conditions, ease of withdrawals, and more.

Casino Guru has also served as a trustworthy mediator in disputes between players and casinos, having returned more than $52m in player funds through the Complaint Resolution Center, and making sure it offers a comprehensive service that goes beyond its meticulous reviewing process.

To help quantify the data points Casino Guru leverages to make decisions about what casinos are worthwhile, the company has developed the bespoke Safety Index metric, which gauges a casino offer based on player-specific preferences, overall fairness, and industry standards, and assigns a rating that players can trust.

This is the latest distinction secured by Casino Guru over the past several months. Casino Guru is also contending in various categories for the SiGMA Central Europe B2C Awards as well as in the AffPapa iGaming Awards LatAm.
