Even though sportsbooks are going through some stormy waters, I still see the money be made by affiliates promoting sportsbooks being at an all time high. This could be due to a lot of the competition has cracked under pressure and been scared away from promoting sportsbooks.
The risk in promoting sportsbooks is slightly greater than casino and poker rooms, but do not let this deter you as the dust will settle and those who have got themselves a solid footing within the sportsbook market stand to make some good money.
If you do plan to promote sportsbooks protect yourself where you can, by clearly marking at the footer of your website to say ‘check the legality of online gaming in your own state/country’. Also host yours sites outside of the US, and do not go poaching players while within the United States. Most importantly those who have been getting in trouble through promoting sportsbooks have been involved in the credit business. Collecting funds within the states and moving over state lines and then sending to an offshore sportsbook.
It is my strong belief that this year has been a bad year for publicity of sportsbooks and also a good thing as it is cleaning up the less desirable sportsbooks out there.
