Casino Affiliate Programs and Webmasters Resource
Are you interested in making additional revenue from your own website? If so, then why not try advertising some of the best online casinos and poker rooms on the internet? I have put together this Casino Affiliate Programs Webmaster resource, to help new and existing casino affiliates.
If you are interested in starting a Casino Portal or to run a website which you wish to use to supplement your income then you have arrived at the right place. Furthermore OCR provides potential and existing casino webmasters with resources and links to information on the web to help you on the way to becoming a successful Casino Affiliate.
Being a casino affiliate is not just a case of slapping casino banners on a website and hoping visitors will play at the casinos, poker rooms and sportsbooks that are advertised on your site. Webmasters need to ensure that the Gambling Properties that you are working with, or considering to work with are player friendly, ethical and a fun place to visit.
Affiliate Edge
Affiliate Edge is the casino affiliate program behind the award winning US facing Club World Casino group of online casinos properties.
If you are looking at providing a resource for US residents, then quite simply you need to partner up with the Affiliate Edge Casino Affiliate Program.
The Affiliate Edge program is managed and run by the award winning casino affiliate manager Martyn Beacon, who I have always found to be extremely prompt in dealing with any all queries I have run past him.
Affiliate Edge is responsible for the marketing of several online casinos in addition to Club World and provides webmasters with a whole host of creatives and marketing material.
Statistics at Affiliate Edge are updated frequently throughout the day, seven days a week with support from Martyn and his team being first class.

Affiliate Guard Dog
For any existing casino affiliate or an individual looking into becoming a casino affiliate, then you need to visit and bookmark the Affiliate Guard Dog website.
Unlike several other forums which profess to have iGaming affiliates’ interests as their core objective, Affiliate Guard Dog or AGD actually does.
Continually monitoring the terms and conditions of all gaming affiliate programs, Affiliate Guard Dog does not hesitate in highlighting any predatory changes made by the programs, which adversely affect the revenue and the bottom line made by their affiliate partners.
A respected authority in the iGaming sector, Affiliate Guard Dog’s work has ensured that many programs that have turned south have reconsidered predatory changes made to their terms and conditions.
As a rule OCR will not work with any program that is deemed rogue by Affiliate Guard Dog. Several of the blacklisted casino affiliate programs listed here on OCR are also deemed Rogue or Predatory on AGD.
If you are a webmaster in this sector, AGD is an invaluable resource, fighting for the rights of affiliates.
Blacklisted Casino Affiliate Programs
Unfortunately like in every sector and industry online, there are also programs in the online gambling industry which webmasters should steer clear of.
Indeed due to the lucrative and competitive nature of the gambling industry, there are many operators who do not treat players or affiliate webmasters as one should expect.
In conjunction with our Rogue Casinos Page, we have also a dedicated Blacklist Page for the worst of the casino affiliate programs.
On this page, listed are those programs who either rip off affiliates by implementing tactic such as ‘shaving’, use unethical cross marketing techniques or other dubious underhand methods..
In addition the programs behind some of the worst online casinos from a player perspective are also listed. This is very important, as the properties you promote as a webmaster, should be upstanding casinos who put the player first.

Focal Click
Focal Click is one of my own personal favourite affiliate programs to work with, even though I have only been promoting Omni Casino, which is one of two Focal Click properties, for little more than a year now. The key to picking a decent program to work with, is that their casinos treat their players well and they pay you the webmaster, each and every month on time.
Well Focal Click tick both these two boxes, but take it a step further by having one of the best affiliate managers in the business heading up the team at Focal Click.
Elliot Resnick the AM for Focal Click is one of the nicest guys you could meet in the iGaming industry. Elliot is very responsive to requests and emails and ensures you have everything you need from the program, in order to promote the two casinos which make up Focal Click’s affiliate program.
Elliot also happens to be very forgiving! I stood him up for a meeting in Amsterdam many years ago before he worked for Focal Click and hence to this day I still owe him a beer or several as a way of an apology. Sorry Elliot!

Money Gaming Affiliates
MoneyGaming Affiliates is a program that I started working with at the turn of 2013 and have so far found them to be a solid affiliate program, with an attentive affiliate manager and decent reporting software.
The affiliate program operated by MoneyGaming was started in 2011 and has proven to be a success with casino affiliates, particularly those who operate websites focused on the UK market place.
The casino property that MoneyGaming Affiliates is responsible for marketing is the superb MoneyGaming Casino, which provides players with numerous IGT Slot games to choose from.
Both the affiliate program and the casino for MoneyGaming operate from and are licensed in Alderney, which is in my view and that of my peers, arguably the best offshore gambling jurisdiction currently in the world.
Monthly payments are made during the second week of every month and if like me, you require your funds wired to your bank account, MoneyGaming Affiliates do not have an excessively high payment threshold, which some other affiliate programs insist on for this method.
TTR Partners
TTR Partners was launched in the autumn of 2015 by the 32Red Group, to allow webmasters to promote those online casinos owned and operated by 32Red Plc. As well as the award winning 32Red Casino, other brands include Roxy Palace Casino which was acquired by 32Red back in July 2015.
Indeed the acquisition of Roxy Palace Casino, has seen them once again featured and recommended on EasyPlay.Vegas, coming in from the cold as it were after being blacklisted in the summer of 2013.
In total you are able to promote 7 different brands by signing up to TTR Partners, all of which are ring fenced and provide your visitors with great options to choose from.
As with 32Red all brands operate on Microgaming Casino Software and the affiliate software used by TTR Partners is supplied by NetRefer. NetRefer being one of the most utilised affiliate program software, providing affiliates with detailed and extensive customised reports.
