Hopefully online gambling will be legalized in the US next year. If this happens it will level the playing field considerably and most affiliates won’t even bother marketing to the rest of the world but will focus on the US market instead.
Nevada Gaming Control Board application details to apply for a marketing license:
- Be a resident of Nevada;
- Police checks etc etc;
- Intense interview with the board.
If the application is successful the affiliate then has to pony up with a $3,000US yearly licensing fee.
Seeing Nevada is the first state in the USA issuing these licenses, I’m sure other states will follow their lead and protocols. Least for the time being. Great for players because finally online gaming will be 100% transparent. No dodgy clip joints or other BS synonymous with our industry.
And when USA players have online gaming regulated in their Country, why would they risk playing offshore? They wont! I think we’ll see laws past which only allow US citizens to gamble online at regulated American venues.
Shaving & thieving is on the rise, gaming spam is at epidemic proportions, PartyPoker and a few others are now accepting affiliates from the porn industry.I think programs are fully aware legalized online gaming in the USA could spell the end of offshore gaming.And, what we’re seeing now is desperation to make as much as possible before the axe falls.
I don’t see how it’s going to be better for affiliates. If anything it will be a lot worse.
So, my advice to byebyebaby and everyone else, start looking into other verticals, just in case everything turns to cr#p and our income dries up too.
