InactiveI see skill gaming much like Bingo in it’s early days.
I think it has a great future but will be a slow start up.
These kinds of things pay off in the long run, and it’s good to get in early.
For those reasons I like to start with a combination CPA/revshare. That allows to offset some of the cost while still building for the future. At some point in the future it should be possible to switch to just revshare.
While I am not fond of freebie offers for casinos as a rule (lower player value) I think it is absolutely necessary to have freebie offers for skillgaming, not just as intro but also periodically for paying players and players who played and disappeared on the initial freebie.
Skillgames are addictive, and they will cause the player to deposit eventually, it just may take longer for some than others.
I do offer skillgames and have for years, but I do also have a skill site in it’s infancy that still needs a lot of work to fly.
Cobranding is nice for these….Let the player stay right where he is and play the freebie….

InactiveThanks for your feedback Dom.
Good point about the combined CPA/Rev share deal to offset the initial start up cost.
Agree with you about the free money for paying players that they should be periodically rewarded for their loyalty.
It is important to affiliates to have a weekly newsletter/communication for a new upstarting Skill gaming affiliate program to announce player promotions and marketing tools that affiliates can then use to implement on their site?

InactiveI promote skill games for about 6 months now. Earnings per players quite disappointing so far. Casino Business is much more profitable.

InactiveWhy are you finding earnings per players disappointing? What were expectations of earnings per player?

InactiveNo doubt earnings are lower than casino. Two reasons: It’s an entry market, it is something to get into now to enjoy better revenues in the future.
Also, players do tend to spend less. BUT – if you have patience and the program assigns you the player for life, the players do end up getting more and more skilled, and the better players will generate some decent revenue.
Much like poker.
You also need a good info site so players will send you their friends. Word of mouth advertising is still very important in these new and specialized markets.
This is also the reason why cobranded sites are a good thing for affiliates here, people send their friends to your site.

InactiveIs there any of these skill games that is fairly popular? I downloaded a pool program and it looks great and plays great. Only problem is there are very few real money players. Oh yeah, and no affiliate program

http://www.grandbilliards.com/
Are there other programs like that, but with any chance to actually generate money?

InactiveWhat about skillground with UTour – Much the same model – Amazing graphics, great game play, etc. but they have an aff program – How are people finding them?

InactiveThere are programs out there that are making for Skill Gaming and developing a site around the game really helps with conversions.
What makes a good co-branded site?
