3. How does the Affiliate Program Work?
Traffic passes through your website anyway, what an Affiliate Program does is harness that traffic to help you earn additional income. The way this works is simple: when a visitor to your site clicks on the link you have provided, that visitor will go to the merchant site. Once there, if the visitor does a transaction on the merchant site, you earn a percentage in the form of commission. If the visitor doesn't spend any money on the merchant site you still won't have lost anything. It's a win-win situation.

When a visitor to your website clicks on a link that contains your affiliate ID, and goes to the casino website, your ID is allocated to their click. If the visitor downloads the software and registers, your ID is linked to their account and you are paid in terms of their net losses, for as long as they play at the casino. If they don't download and register, and they visit the casino directly at a later time, you will also capture that player.
