Gambling
Gambling is a niche that encompasses games such as online casinos, roulette, slots, betting, and lotteries. Gambling in arbitrage is one of the leading and most profitable verticals. The basis of earning is attracting players to gaming platforms. The affiliate receives payment for registration, the first deposit, or a percentage of the user's losses. The primary payment models in gambling are CPA, which involves a fixed amount per lead, and RevShare, which generates ongoing profit from player activity. The better the traffic quality and "deps," the higher the income.
What types of offers exist in gambling?
The most common offers include payment for registration and phone or email confirmation, activities lasting over 7 days, first deposit (FTD), and minimum player loss.
Payout formats are RevShare, CPA, and Hybrid (for example, 50 USD for FTD + 20% of player losses). Offers can vary, though. Licensed brands are working in Tier-1 countries with strict moderation, and gray offers, where there's more freedom but higher risks.
What traffic sources are best to choose?
The choice depends on budget, experience, and goal (focus on quick money or passive income). According to statistics, the five main sources work best:
- Push and Pop: provides fast leads at low prices, but fraud filtering is required.
- Facebook and TikTok: excellent targeting, gives high-quality and solvent traffic, but proper cloaking is needed.
- Google UAC: good ROI, but requires apps and experience.
- SEO and blog networks (PBN): long-term, stable source.
- ASO + incentivized traffic: in low-competition GEOs, it provides volume when working with apps.
Gambling always requires adaptation to the target audience and GEO, so it's crucial to choose creatives, localization, and pre-landers properly.
How much can you earn from gambling?
Earnings in gambling are not fixed and depend on the vertical, sources, and approach.
A beginner can make 500–1,000 USD per month from one funnel. An average affiliate with stable campaigns can earn 2,000–5,000 USD per month. Top affiliates with a team and their own apps make tens of thousands of dollars, especially at scale and during major tournaments. RevShare brings passive income, but for this, quality retaining traffic is essential.
