search for affiliates

Hello everyone, I'm working on the igaming product side, and I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can find good affiliates who are willing to work on CPA

Very few affiliates are going to trust a new advertiser. Your best best is through working with a trsuted CPA network like MaxBounty or CPA network specializing in iGaming

look for affiliates in established affiliate communities and industry networking groups Building relationships with experienced publishers who already work in the iGaming niche usually leads to better long term CPA partnerships.

Maybe you know how i can find such communities?

GPWA is probably the biggest forum for igaming specifically, and maybe Affiliate Guard Dog. tbh though, most of the serious CPA affiliates aren't really active on public forums anymore... they are mostly in private Telegram groups. You usually have to network at events like iGB Live or Sigma to get invites to those. Just keep in mind what @Nameless Knight said too. If you are a new brand, most good affiliates will want some kind of prepayment or a hybrid deal first because they get burned on CPA all the time. You might have to run through an established network first to build some trust.

Start with GPWA/AGD, STM has some gambling/media buying people too but not purely casino. For CPA specifically I’d also check affiliate program directories and see who is already ranking/reviewing brands in your GEO, then contact them direct instead of waiting for forum replies.

A lot of decent casino affiliates won’t reply in public because they get spammed to death. Have the boring stuff ready before you message: GEOs, license, CPA amount, payment frequency, negative carryover or not, stats access, and if you can do small hybrid/prepay test. If it’s just “we have CPA offer”, most will ignore it.

you won't find public links for the good telegram groups because they get flooded with spammers. most are invite only. easiest way in without going to conferences is to talk to affiliate managers at the networks. tell them you have budget and ask if they can intro you to some media buyers or invite you to their private chats. some paid forums like STM also have skype/telegram groups for active members, thats another way in if you don't mind paying the monthly sub.
