Speak with our experts about Online Casino Affiliate license.

There has been a sharp increase in interest from around the world to start participating in the booming legal US online gambling sector. The focus of this is in acquisition of affiliate gaming licenses, which allow you to promote traffic to your associated US-based gaming operation and in return receive a great reward.

GBO has 12 years experience in consulting for customers all over the world seeking to establish a presence in online gaming. This now includes knowledge and experience in how to obtain a gaming affiliate license in the state of your choice in the shortest possible time and lowest possible cost.

First important point we make is to distinguish between the main forms of gambling in the USA:

Gaming affiliates and media affiliates work to promote activity for their US-based associates by posting material on their own website, and through social media, promoting online gambling designed to channel potential gamblers through to the service portal of their associate in the USA.

With our help at GBO, you will be able to get an affiliate gaming license in the state that you choose in the shortest possible time and the lowest cost.

Affiliate gaming license types:

Companies that have negotiated gaming affiliate licenses with US-based casinos generally agree on receiving reward for the traffic in one of two possible ways:

Cost per acquisition (CPA), which pays a fixed fee once a new customer who has been channelled through to the gaming portal signs up and follows through with specified actions. Typically, these are making a deposit of a minimum amount, and making a certain number of bets. The purpose of these steps is to prevent customers from making new accounts without taking any actions, which costs the casino both the reward of the CPA, and the batch of free games that are typically offered to new accounts as an incentive to come on board.

Revenue sharing (rev-share) which is calculated on the profit that the gaming site earns from the wagers placed by the customer, and lasts for as long as the customer remains on the gaming sites books. It is similar to the gross gaming revenue (GGR) taxation system that most jurisdictions use to tax online gaming companies. In this case, the affiliate’s proportion of the GGR is fixed by the agreement between the casino and the affiliate at the time of sign-on.

Requirements are specific to each gambling type, and to each state. The laws are also in a state of flux and may change at any time. What we say here is as up-to-date that we can make it, as of the end of July 2021, but even then changes that were in the process may already have overtaken the current situation, so in all cases you should consult with us before making any decisions, so that you can be given the most relevant picture.

With the possible exception of Nevada and West Virginia, the states that have legalized online sports and gaming require that all affiliates must hold the relevant state affiliate gambling license. Right now, these states are Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania , Tennessee and West Virginia. In the process is Illinois, and the scheduled meeting to finalize this will be held in early September.

Federal requirements and regulations deal with inter-state business, and are very relevant when establishing an affiliate company. In some cases, the company must be located in the same state as the gambling operator both for legal and for tax reasons.
