Frequently asked questions about Affiliate Networks
What is an affiliate network in iGaming?
An iGaming affiliate network acts as an intermediary between operators (casinos, sportsbooks) and individual affiliates. Networks aggregate multiple programs under one platform, allowing affiliates to manage tracking, reporting, and payments from a single dashboard. They typically take a fee from operator commissions.
What are the largest affiliate networks in iGaming?
Major iGaming affiliate networks include Income Access, Affiliate Edge, MyAffiliates, NetRefer, and EGASS. Network size is measured by the number of active operator programs, not affiliates. Specialist networks focus on specific regions (CIS, LatAm, Africa) or verticals (casino, sports betting).
How do affiliate networks handle payments?
Most iGaming affiliate networks pay monthly, with some offering bi-weekly or weekly cycles for high-volume affiliates. Common payment methods include wire transfer, PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, and increasingly cryptocurrency. Minimum payout thresholds range from $50 to $500 depending on the network.
