free spin promo and of course 80% affiliate revshare for the first 3 months
My best program in terms of players AND revenue month after month is slotocash casino http://www.slotocash.com/casino-promotions-at-slotocash.html
I think it is because the players know upfront they will get additional bonus money as they continue to play and deposit.Not all casinos put that info out there.Mine seem to be the 100-125% multi-deposit bonus offers ranging from $500-$750 that offer 100% or more match on the first deposit. Typically Rival, RTG and Vegas Tech.
I can say what doesn’t seem to work (for me) are those MG triple welcome bonuses that only offer a 20%-50% bonus on the first deposit.
Free spins and staggered bonuses – deposit x and get xx, then deposit xx and get xxx, then deposit xx and get another xx.
I agree with bonusguy, it is a shame casinos do not publicize the small bonuses added as one plays. Many do that, but I have yet to come across a banner or promo I can use to sell with.
It’s one of my pet peeves… I can presell retention, it helps in making that first sale, but retention is a secret it seems.
Think of yourself as a player.
What do you hate?
Depositing and losing
Now that is pretty poor for retention rates.
What would bring you back after losing your deposit?
A rakeback style of bonus. You lose your initial bonus but get an email with your cashback bonus at the end of the week.
Im not a fan of the 1million% bonus. It may get you in the door but it wont keep you. Not good for the site, not good for the affiliate.
I rated this thread.
On reflection.
Sites need players & affiliates to get them those players.
Affiliates can convert but the best conversions are long term MGR players.
Players will stay with a site after their first deposit only if they win, otherwise they generally move on to the next bonus.
I think the cashback idea is best for the site/affiliate/player.
You can translate that into other forms such as free spins for the weekend but it brings a dead player back
IMO, a win win situation all round. It all comes down to loyalty.
The site want the retention rates.
The affiliate want regular mgr payments
The player wants a non conditional reason for coming back to a site who skinned them.

Hi Dom,
Canbet has banners that offer our 20% weekly cashback on slots. :hattip::spam::spam::spam:
Hi all,
I just posted this in the other thread I saw in the Affiliate Polls area.. without having seen others replies — which it seems I’m in complete agreement with ..
The main focus being on RETENTION .. which for us Rev-Share’rs is key (and to be fair I’m sure is also the Casino Operators best interest)..
Here’s my LONG .. reply copied and pasted..
Hey Marvyn,Wow this is a tricky one but well I do remember getting a LOAD of signups before when the specific slot free spins (like 20 free spins on …. slot) thing was going on … I earn pretty good from them generally – power of numbers though most likely… more signups – more potential depositors ..
I’m not a massive fan of Non Deposit sign-up offers really – the free spins things where they must deposit to claim the bonus is fair and good though.
I think these days with so many quality forums out there – players are very ‘savvy’ on bonus terms and most will read up on deposit bonus terms (which of course if fair enough) so it has to be something competitive when they are looking to acquire the players in the first place..
Of course there’s always the what I’d think of as ‘true players’ who’s real main aim is to get the most play for their money – and if they win BIG then great – they will cash out and I’m sure come back.
For first deposit bonuses I found on a couple of programs the 400% (Buy 50 get 200 free for example) seemed to work well (despite the fair but high play-thru requirements), but also – as there have not been so many of these compared to 50-200% offers – all have worked fairly well – it’s just the 400% ones I often noticed more activity ..
Of course the thing to consider really is whether you’re just going for ‘new acquisitions’ (which I’m sure is a factor you as an aff manager are rated by), or good quality, repeat depositors.. and for repeat depositors.. which for us ‘rev share’ types.. (which I believe is all fair to the casino operators and us affiliates – we make money if they do etc).. then a reasonable sign-up bonus with regular bonuses seems to work well…
As a player myself I like the weekly promos (with the bonus account bit) – give me a bit of extra play but IF I win big I can still cash-out and lose the bonus bit if I choose to..
A good happy all-rounder I reckon would be 200% signup bonus + weekly bonuses (you could offer 20-50% on certain days of the week – 20% Mondays, 30% Tuesdays, 50% Thursdays).. perhaps – and see over a couple of months when you get the most
Not maybe the answer you wanted cos, well for me there isn’t a specific one that worked so much better than others, but to keep the players (which is what I believe makes more money for the casinos and rev-share affiliates) – the ongoing option is better.. (or to be more ‘customer focussed’ – let them choose and claim even?) .. You could vary them and only offer the appropriate to what the casino considers appropriate.. (customised for various groups of players on some sort of criteria)..
I’m done babbling for now – hope it helps lol..
Cheers,
Geno/CC
