What is an Affiliate Program?
|
An affiliate program is a partnership with an online merchant who compensates you for any sales that they generate as a result of you sending them traffic via your marketing activities. It is a simple and easy way to earn money from traffic that you generate be it online or offline.

How does it Work?
|
The first step is to place links on your site to one or more of WagerShare's clients and this can be done through a variety of means such as text links and banner advertisements. The links that you place on your website will contain your unique affiliate id which enables us to identify the traffic that comes from your sites. For instance, when you join us at WagerShare you will be assigned an affiliate id, WGS99999 for example. If you want to send traffic to Spin Palace, you would place the following link on your site, http://www.spinpalace.com/index.asp?s=wgs99999 and we would know the traffic was coming from you. If the visitor you sent to Spin Palace then downloads the software and opens an account you will earn a commission of the revenue the player generates at the casino. Your advertising doesn't have to be restricted to the Internet and we can supply you with CDs containing the casino or poker software which you can then distribute offline. The software CDs will have your affiliate id embedded in them so we can track whichever players sign up from them to your account.

Why become a casino and poker affiliate?
|
The online casino and poker industry has been a phenomenal success and continues to be a rapidly expanding industry worldwide. Unlike affiliate programs in many other industries, we pay you commissions on revenues generated by a player every time they play, not just on their first purchase. In short this means you can earn for months if not years from just one player! Our casino and poker room clients offer the best playing experience available on the Net and players are constantly given an array of promotions, loyalty bonuses and new games to keep them coming back for more.

What happens in the event of a chargeback?
|
A chargeback is when a credit card merchant refunds a customer after they successfully dispute an item on their credit card statement. Unfortunately there are a small percentage of players that abuse this system and because no signature is taken when depositing into the casino some players claim they never made the purchase so they can get their money back. Our casino and poker clients take every possible measure to prevent chargeback abuse, however, in the unlikely event that they occur the amount will be deducted from the affiliates revenue.

|
How am I linked to a player that I refer?
|
The banners or text links you display on your site advertising the online casinos and poker rooms we represent have your unique affiliate ID built into them. When a visitor clicks on these banners or text links he is referred to the relevant online casino or poker room and you are then credited as having sent the visitor to the site. If the visitor then downloads the software and registers an account your affiliate ID is linked to this and you earn commission in terms of all their future net losses.

What is the linking code that I use when directing traffic to the online casinos and poker rooms?

For example, the linking code you would use if your affiliate ID was WGS99999 and you wanted to send traffic to Spin Palace Casino would be http://www.spinpalace.com/index.asp?s=wgs99999.
