AffConnect is a fairly new affiliate program offering a range of casinos for you to promote, each unique and tailored towards different sorts of people. If you are an affiliate who has a fairly specific audience, AffConnect provides a great way for you to hand pick what you want to promote, alternatively - you can experiment with a few different casinos and see what seems to perform best for you. The casinos themselves are called Slots Cafe, 21Prive and GDay Casino. Having a range of casinos makes it a lot easier for affiliates to find one that suits their traffic best and gives the most consistent conversion rates.

Casino Game Providers

Each of the casinos slightly differ in what games they host, however there are a lot of similarities as they all strafe to have a great range along with ensuring they have all of the most popular games on the market. They do this by constantly checking for new releases from providers such as NetEnt, NextGen, QuickSpin, Chance Interactive and Scientific Games.

Casino Deposit & Withdraw Options

The casinos offer a wide variety of deposit and withdrawal methods including Visa, GiroPay, Neteller, Skrill, PaySafe Cards, Trustly, Zimpler, ecoPayz and iDeal - allowing for all players to be able to sign up and find at least one method they can use to deposit using secure services.

Affiliate Software

Moving onto the most important feature for affiliates, the software the program uses. You will be pleased to know that AffConnect uses the fantastic ERASS platform for their affiliates, leaving them with a tracking system they can trust and real time statistics for a lot of the reports. From the AffConnect affiliates I have spoken to, along with my own experience with the platform - they look after their affiliates and do their best to build personal relationships with their promotional team.

Getting Started as an Affiliate

It is very quick and simple to get an affiliate account made, simply by going to AffConnect and using the form to enter a couple of personal details. Once submitted, you can expect to receive a confirmation email with an account activation link to verify your account. After doing so, your affiliate account is ready and you can begin to earn commission!

Banners & Promotional Material

Once again, the system keeps everything simple so as you can imagine retrieving tracking links and promotional material is very easy. As soon as you log into your account you will be greeted with an Overview screen showing some basic statistics about your performance, however more importantly you will see a QuickLinks tab. Something hundreds of affiliate programs miss out on, this allows you to generate your own referral link in a matter of seconds rather than searching for it and wasting precious time.

If you are looking for something a little more than a tracking link, the system offers a huge selection of banners and other promotional material, this can be accessed through the Ad Server. From here you can filter the entire Ad Server by things like Size, Language and Brand (Casino Name) to better find what you are looking for, instead of scrolling through hundreds of banners to find a suitable one. Simply by clicking the "HTML Code" or "JavaScript Code" you will be given your banner code with attached tracking link to implement into your website and begin referring players.

Analysing your Traffic - Reports

An important tool for both new and experienced affiliates is the reporting, being able to see details on your performance i.e. how many clicks you've had, how many people have made an account after being referred by you and most important of all, how much commission they have generated for you. The program has a whole host of different reports for you to play around with, using filters and various ways to break down the statistics to find what you are looking for. Every page of the system is kept simple and you will not struggle to find what you need quickly.

Commission Types

AffConnect offers three forms of commission which are all very generous. They award in Rev-Share, CPA and Sub Affiliation.

Rev-Share - Probably one of the most familiar types of commission for affiliates these days, it's where the casino awards you a percentage of the revenue you generate through your referred players. AffConnect award their loyal affiliates who return big conversions - from day one you will be awarded 20% Rev-Share meaning that any revenue that's generated through your links will award you a 5th of everything the casino makes. This already sounds great, but the deal gets sweeter, there are four commission tiers each time you pass a threshold you will earn a higher and higher percentage of the revenue. Once you have passed the $2500 mark your lifetime percentage will increase to 25%, at $7500 it will increase to 30%, then at $15,000 the Rev-Share will increase to 35% and finally once you pass the $25,000 mark you will hit the 40% Rev-Share rate.

Sub Affiliates - Sub Affiliate commission is always a great addition to a platform, it allows for affiliates to refer other affiliates and earn a small percentage of the referred affiliate's commission. In the case of AffConnect, there are five levels of Sub Affiliates meaning that if you refer someone, who refers someone, who refers someone, who refers someone you earn a chain of commission for each affiliate.

CPA - AffConnect offer a very good CPA plan for their affiliates, which increases in tiers much like their Rev-Share plan. For higher deposits, the affiliate will earn a higher amount of CPA, with the maximum being $500 in commission for a new account to make a deposit of $200.

Affiliate Payment

AffConnect offers a couple of ways for their affiliates to withdraw their commission, they have the option of Wire/Bank Transfers or Paypal. However compared to some other affiliate programs, the withdraw threshold is a little high - for PayPal withdraws you will need to earn a sum of $250 commission and then $500 for Wire Transfers. To be honest, after referring a couple of decent players, these thresholds are not difficult to reach. There is a payment window in AffConnect but allows for plenty of time to cash out commission, it runs from the 3rd of the month to the 20th. One final point, is the requirement of ID Documents before you are able to withdraw your commission.

Conclusion

All-round, AffConnect is a great affiliate program for both new and experienced users. Featuring an easy to use platform to sign up, grab a tracking link and view your performance along with the incredibly high commission rates you cannot go wrong. After using this platform for a few months, it's hard to go back to the affiliate programs I was using before. As mentioned before, the range of casinos makes it so easy to find one that both suits and converts well with your traffic along with the fact the casinos have a great reputation and players stay loyal constantly generating you commission.
