Dont Get Burned by Casino Affiliate Scams
If you have a website you can earn a substantial amount of money promoting online casinos and sports betting. Unfortunately there are quite a few casinos currently online that regularly rip off their affiliates. We have been burned a number of times and it costs us time and money. If you have had success with a program let us know and more importantly if you have been burned by a casino operator contact usThis e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it so that we can post it and warn others. As fellow webmasters we owe it to each other to point out these scams and save everyone a lot of trouble.
Things to look for:
No Real Player Conversions.
The most prevalent scam. Not everyone who clicks on a banner is going to sign up as a real player. The average conversion ratio is about 1% – 3%. If the conversion ratio for the casino is abnormally low, dump them, you aren’t earning anything with them anyway. We recently sent over 600 visitors to a casino and were credited with one real player sign up, our average is closer to 6% with all other casinos. Needless to say they’re gone, but the real crime is we could have sent them to an honest operator and earned commissions. Don’t fall for this scam.The checks never come.
This is another fun one. The statistics are accurate, you see the clicks credited and watch as your balance due climbs. Since it looks like you’re making money you promote the casino heavily and sales continue to mount. The only problem is they never issue you a check. Usually they don’t respond to your e-mails either. If checks are overdue write the operator and see what’s up. If they ignore you, pull their banners until you receive payment.
Yes, I was just curious to see weather CAP use the standards they set when assessing their sponsors.

Just by going with the CAP scam guidelines. are they going to warn players about Hollywood poker? I know of several other affiliates who have seen similar results.
Also what is the new tournament expenses deduction? I certainly wouldnt invest money bringing in new players. This is another new creative deduction.
The warning signs are there for all to see. The program went downhill a long time ago. I feel if CAP are to be believed as a reliable source of information, they should keep affiliates informed.
