Thread: Poker or Casino

I would ask affiliates who work with both however my opinion is that casino makes more on average. I have heard the player values are higher for casino. If I had to start from scratch I would go with casino because the online casino market is highly competitive and you'll get more attention from your programs. With larger programs like pokerstars and fulltilt there is less competition so you might not get the same vip treatment as an affiliate. I would only go into poker if I had more of a passion for it and could produce good content and value for those players and market.

Very interesting. Does anyone have any statistics involving the two?

Ok Folks My shot,

You are make more from casinos (single player) on average, since the deposit per player is higher than poker rooms. Just think about blackjack, slots and roulette games. Few people sign up to play only pennies. The down side is if the player hits the jackpot and your casino carry negative balances.

On the poker side, the average deposit is way less than casino, but there are some large depositors if you are lucky to get them that will make a huge difference in commissions. You need a large base of players to make money from poker (revenue share) otherwise CPA should work better if you can't deliver many players. The good thing you don't get a negative balance, they are very rare (revenue share).

So, promote both, and take a chance. You never know when a whale will hit your site, for poker or casino.

NOTE: THIS IS MY EXPERIENCE PROMOTING CASINOS AND POKER ROOMS. SO, STATS CAN BE DIFFERENT BETWEEN AFFILIATES.
Hope this helps,

Definetly poker!!! But it depends in your target audience and your affiliate site. If you have female oriented content it will be better to promote casinos, if you have male audience poker will convert better.

Best thing to do, promote both of them at the same time.
