FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about Vegas Partner Affiliate Program

What is an Affiliate Program?
An affiliate program is a partnership with an online merchant who compensates you for any sales you send that merchant via links on your site. An affiliate program is an affordable way to earn money from your site, without going to the expense of setting up an e-commerce infrastructure.

What does it mean to become an Affiliate?
If you have a website, mailing list or if you are an entrepreneur you can become an Affiliate. All you need to do is put up a link, in the form of a banner, for a merchant of your choice. You can also e-mail these lists to a mailing list with the copy we provide. Then you sit back and watch your site work for you.

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.

Am I only paid on a player's first purchase?
As an affiliate you will benefit from any players you refer to the casino for as long as they are playing. As your Affiliate ID is linked to their account, each time they play, we effectively track their losses to you. This is called residual or lifetime income.

What happens if some of my websites have debit balances?
Vegas Partner combines your website balances.

Why is the progressive contribution deducted from my affiliate profit?
On every spin on a progressive jackpot, an allocation is made directly to that jackpot. When a jackpot is won payment is made from those contributions. These are completely separate accounts. Therefore progressive contributions are not counted as part of gross win and neither are progressive payouts. So when a progressive is won on one of our partner sites it will have no effect on your balance.

How exactly is my affiliate profit calculated?
Your Profit = (income - payouts - incentives - progressive contributions) * (commission percentage)

How is a player linked to me?
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. We check each person who visits the casinos in terms of their origin, and if they have come from an affiliate link, we allocate them to that affiliate.

Do affiliates get credit for players referred to the flash casinos?
Yes. We track and link Flash casino players in the same manner that we track any other player that is referred to the casinos from your website.

Can I apply for an account offline?
At present, all applications for the Vegas Partner program are currently Internet based, thus you will be required to apply on our website. Alternatively, should you not be able to apply online, you are welcome to contact our support team, and our friendly agents will be glad to assist you.

Can I have my commission paid into a casino account?
We are not at liberty to comply with a request of this nature, as Vegas Partner and the various Casinos that we serve are independent businesses. You are welcome to use your commission as funds towards your gaming pleasure, after you have received your payment in the method that you desire.

Does Vegas Partner assign cookies to referrals?
Vegas Partner does assign a cookie to all referrals to the Vegas Partner website, but these cookies are only assigned once the visitor joins the program. The tracking of a referral is effected by the Affiliate ID that is present in your link and the visitor ID that is attached to the visitor when accessing the website.

This visitor ID is linked to both your Affiliate ID and the cookie that is saved to the visitor's computer upon their joining the program. Once registered, their new Affiliate ID is then permanently linked to yours, and as such, you will be paid in terms of their revenue generated for as long as they are part of the program.

Why are all your merchants only casinos?
Our current clients are only Casino's as they are one of the most profitable industries on the Internet today and they will provide an affiliate with much greater returns.

How am I guaranteed payment for your banners on my site?
