Why Gambling Affiliate Companies are Key for Smaller American Sportsbooks

Why Gambling Affiliate Companies are Key for Smaller American Sportsbooks

 

As online sports betting continues to expand in the United States, gambling affiliate companies in the country are also growing in number.

The primary objective of affiliate companies is to earn their own small share of the multi-billion dollar market, but they also play a big role in helping new and smaller sportsbooks find their feet in the industry.

The American sports betting market is dominated by a handful of sportsbooks, with FanDuel alone owning about 50% of the market. DraftKings and Caesars are also solidly placed on the podium, making it very difficult for new operators to break through.

This is where gambling affiliate companies come in. Partnering with affiliate sites is a financially-prudent way of online marketing, as the cost is often directly related to the success of the campaign.

Swedish-based affiliate company Leadstar Media is one of many European companies that have turned their focus on the American market, launching a wide array of US focused products, including bonus comparison site, Betting Bonus USA.

Lee Cooper, editor-in-chief at Betting Bonus US, believes affiliate sites are important to all sportsbooks, but even more vital to new and smaller operators.

“For established sites like FanDuel and DraftKings, it is all about consolidating their positions at the top of the market”, he said.

“They have got the big bucks to run sponsorships and advertisements, but they also want to be on top of every list and not give room for complacency”.

“Many smaller operators don’t have the financial muscle to compete with the big guys, and rely heavily on affiliation to get customers and push their brand”, Cooper observed.

Having already enjoyed great success in other countries like Brazil and the United Kingdom, where they send thousands of new players to their partners on a monthly basis, Leadstar Media are confident of having similar success in the United States, considering the enormous potential of the country.

“We have invested a lot of quality resources into the United States, and are beginning to reap the dividends of all that effort”, Cooper stated.

The American gambling market is already quite big, but it is still nowhere near its full capabilities. Sports betting is now legal in some capacity in over 30 states, but significantly fewer states in the country allow online casino gambling.

With more states set to open their doors to the different forms of online gambling, there are many more new customers to be had. This again highlights the importance of affiliate gambling sites to smaller operators in the American market.

It is difficult enough for a new operator to break into the American market, given the different regulations across the states and fairly high licensing fees and taxes. It is even more difficult to usurp the established order and run the business profitably.

The big players look set to keep hold of their positions for the foreseeable future. They’ve already amassed a lion share of the gambling revenue, and are in a vantage position regarding advertising.

Gambling affiliate sites offer a more level playing field for the smaller operators to rub shoulders with the current market leaders and compete for customers. It’s a much fairer fight for the newbies!

Amidst the whirlwind of Google’s relentless updates and the intricate web of affiliate marketing, the upcoming CasinoBeats Summit, with a laser focus on SEO, AI content, and innovative traffic monetisation strategies, will offer marketers and affiliates a platform to tackle pressing inquiries head-on.

The ‘Marketing & Affiliation’ track will occur across both core days of the CasinoBeats Summit, 22nd – 23rd May, at the InterContinental Malta. The track will provide 4500 attendees with an in-depth exploration of key talking points shaping the worlds of marketing and affiliation.

Discussions will encompass leveraging innovative technology such as artificial intelligence (AI) and immersive video content to engage new audiences, the power of alternative marketing channels, and gaining a competitive edge through SEO strategies.

The panel titled ‘Finding CRM harmony: Automation vs Experience’ will delve into the growing influence of customer relationship management (CRM) and the most effective strategies for its utilisation. Industry experts Matthias S. Kaiser (Head of CRM at Tipico), Alexandru Ababei (CRM Global Promotions Manager, Betsson) and Zurab Magalashvili (CMO, Adjarabet), will explore how CRM implementation can align with existing processes for player experiences and how CRM data can aid in proactive responsible gambling initiatives.

The conference session ‘Future-Proofing Marketing: Unveiling Trends Beyond the Hype’ will discuss the latest marketing trends and assess their long-term potential. Marketing experts Calvin Samut (Head of Brand, Socios), Cecilia López Boronat (Marketing Content Manager, Clobet Limited) and panel moderator Dennis Algreen (Marketing Director, SBC Events), will explore the longevity of these emerging trends, the danger of chasing trends and whether businesses should prioritise long-term brand stability over fleeting marketing fads.

Why Crash Casino Games are Legal in Brazil

Why Crash Casino Games are Legal in Brazil

 

In a recent ENV Media’s insight piece, the mechanics and legal standing of crash games within Brazil’s regulated gaming environment are analysed. Explaining Aviator’s fixed-odds betting system and cash-out feature, it showcases the game’s adherence to transparency and fairness standards, and why it is regulated under the fixed-odds betting law. 

The very essence of crash games falls under the current legal definitions of the Brazilian law, justifying their place in the online betting landscape. The “provably fair” game mechanics are taken to an exciting player-centric level, with strategic live decisions which align even better with legal requirements.

The legality of crash games in Brazil stems from their compliance with the country’s regulatory framework, particularly Law No. 14,790/2023. This law categorizes online games like Aviator under fixed odds betting lotteries, with their outcomes determined by future random events. The legal provisions ensure that as long as games offer fixed odds at a given point in time, and allow timely cash-outs, they remain within the legal ambit. This concrete definition encapsulates crash games, highlighting their lawful existence in the Brazilian iGaming landscape, as confirmed by legal experts consulted in the study.

The future of crash games in Brazil looks promising, with a call for more explicit guidelines and oversight to ensure responsible gambling standards. The comparison between Aviator and traditional sports betting illustrates the strategic decision-making inherent in these casino games, underscoring their similarity and the need for regulatory attention.

Notably, some further steps could be taken to certify testing laboratories for new games on the market but the executive cannot limit the application of the law as it is currently worded. As Brazil refines its regulations, the integration of games like Aviator into the legal framework is crucial for the industry’s growth, ensuring a dynamic and responsible gaming market.

Drawing parallels between Aviator and sports betting clarifies the decision-making and fixed-odds nature of both. Whether betting on a series of football games or the multiplier increase in Aviator, players make real-time choices with the option to cash out early. This similarity lies in the common gambling mechanics, reinforcing why crash games like Aviator align with traditional sports betting principles and thus, their legality and inclusion in Brazil’s gaming regulations.

Crash games represent a increasing segment in Brazil’s online gambling scene, blending real-time betting excitement with strategic gameplay. Their legal standing, rooted in Brazil’s regulatory framework, sets a precedent for a regulated, transparent, and responsible gaming environment. As the industry evolves, understanding and integrating games like Aviator will be pivotal in fostering innovation, ensuring integrity, and contributing to the economic landscape, heralding a new era in paid online entertainment in Brazil.
