Answers:
1. What is an affiliate program and how do I make money with it?
An Affiliate Program is an agreement between you and an online representative
(a merchant) who compensates you every time you complete a sale for
it through the links on your site. You will have the opportunity to
increase your income by simply exploiting the space on your site.
If you wish to make even more money, you may opt for the 2.5-Tier
Affiliate Programs that allows you to target potential customers as
well as other Affiliates. You will therefore be marketing to two different
target groups respectively and therefore will be using two different
types of marketing tools that Vegas Affiliates provides you with.
Every Webmaster you introduce to the program will market for the agent
on your behalf and will thereby allow you to maximize your earning
potential.

3. Am I eligible to sign up as an affiliate?
Any Webmaster is welcome to join the program. We might decide that
your site is unsuitable for various reasons, i.e. if you already are a member, if your site is
under construction, aimed at children, promotes discrimination based
on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation,
or age, promotes illegal activities, or violates intellectual property
rights or doesnt match the standards required by our casino partners. See also terms and conditions.

6. How do I get started?
Go back to the Vegas Affiliate site, insert your login and password
and go to the section where you will obtain the HTML code for your
banners, mailers, and other marketing tools that will automatically
have your unique code inserted in them. You don't need to copy or
save the creative or link: you just need to copy the HTML code and
insert it into the HTML code of your web page.
top
7. How is the link established between myself and the player:
Are the referrals assigned cookies by Vegas affiliates? Every
time a visitor to your website reaches the casino website by clicking
on a link that contains your affiliate ID, a 30 day cookie with
your ID is allocated to their click. If the visitor downloads the
casino software and registers an account within up to 30 days, your
ID will be linked to that account. Consequently, you will be paid
in terms of their net losses for as long as they play at the casino.
If the visitor does not download and register at the casino immediately
but does so at a later date (30 days or later), you will also be
linked to the client. After we determine that a client originates
from an affiliate link, we will allocate them directly to the affiliate.
top
8. Do I get a commission on the Webmasters that I refer?
Vegas Affiliates offers unquestionably high commission rates of
up to 35% on the players you refer directly (1st tier), 2.5% on
the players referred by a webmaster that you refer to us (2nd tier),
and 1.5% on the players referred by a webmaster that in turn has
been referred by someone that you referred to us (3rd tier).
top
9. How do you guarantee the payment for your banners on my site?
The Affiliate ID present in your link and the visitor ID attached
to the visitor who accesses the site make it possible to continuously
track the referral.
top
10. How are commissions calculated and what's my commission?
You are entitled to a commission based on the Player Net Revenue;
see the terms and conditions for the exact definition.
- On Player Net Revenue in the month from $1.00 up to and including
$10,000.00 > 25%. - On Player Net Revenue in the month over and
including $10,001.00 to $20,000 > 30%.
- On Player Net Revenue in the month over $20,001 > 35%.
top

You can e-mail us to info@Vegasaffiliates.com
and we will answer all queries within 48 hours.
top
12. Where and how do I get my marketing tools?
When your application to the merchants has been accepted, simply
login and go to the section: "Get your banner code". Insert the
code in the html code of your page and you're done.
top
13. Can I use email as a marketing tool?
While we provide and encourage email marketing, we have a very strict
spam policy. Any form of spam will result in your account being
closed and all funds due being withheld. You need to be aware that
our Merchants are liable to incur expenses in dealing with spam
generated mail and these same expenses will be deducted from your
account should our Merchant seek compensation (see T&C).
top
14. Does referring players to the flash casinos count?
As an affiliate, you will be linked and given credit for Flash casino
players that you refer to the casino through your websites.
15. How and when can I check tracking and statistics?
You can check your statistics pertaining to traffic and earnings
online whenever you want by using your password and login. Simply
log in and check your Online Stats, you will notice that they are
all very simple yet very complete and will help you optimise your
traffic as well as track your earnings.
top
16. How often are my statistics updated?
Financial and download statistics will refresh once a day for the day before (at around 6pm GMT), and statistics
regarding traffic (both clicks and impressions) are updated every
few minutes.
top
17. Do I get bonuses?
We will keep you constantly updated on bonuses and promotions to
our affiliates.
top
18. Is there a minimum amount required before I can get paid?
You must reach the commission limit of $200, all casinos combined, at the end of the month before
you get paid. In the event that you don't meet our payment threshold,
the payment will rollover until you reach the minimum payment threshold.
top
19. How often, how, and when will I get paid?
You will be paid between the 10th and the last day of every month.
However, your first payment will cover the whole month you have
been with us. For example, if you subscribe to the Affiliate Program
on the 1st of June, you will be paid between the 15th and the end
of July rather than between the 15th and the end of June. You will
be able to choose if you want to be paid by Neteller or Casino Credit.
Please note that the transaction costs, if any, are deducted from
your earnings.
top
20. What if a player wins a large amount of money?
Will my negative balance be carried over the next month?
The net loss will be deducted from the commissions you have earned
for the month in question. You will not have a negative income figure
because your losses will not be carried forward for the consecutive
months. Unlike other affiliate programs, your losses will only be
deducted from the monthly income to which they correspond. Should
the account reach a negative figure for a specific month, it will
be reset to zero the following month.
top
21. What if one of the players I refer is a fraudster or does
a charge back?
This is the only case in which a negative balance will be carried
forward to the next month. If you have already received a commission
on a player who later turned out to be a fraudster or has done a
charge back, you will have to pay back the amount of such a charge
back. Your account will remain negative until you reach an amount
equal to the charge back.
top
22. How long do I receive commissions on players I refer?
You will receive commissions for life for the players that you refer
to the casino!
top
23. Can I contact Vegas affiliates casino partners?
Feel free to contact us at info@vegasaffiliates.com for any query .
top
24. Can I use any form of advertising I want?
Vegas Affiliates rejects any advertising methods referred to as
“scumware”. These include, among others, Cydoor, Gator
and WhenU.
If an affiliate adopts any one of these methods, we will be obliged
to freeze his revenues and permanently ban him from the program.
If deemed necessary, we may also take legal action against him.
Please note that we have sophisticated means to trace traffic coming
to our site from any of these platforms. If you are aware of or
possess evidence of such abuse, please do not hesitate to notify
us.

25. What do the stats in the Report & Results
page mean?

generated in the period of the report.
Click Throughs: The total number of clicks you
generated in the period of the report.
Click Through Ratio: The impressions/clicks ratio,

top
26. What happens if the players I referred play in another
currency than US dollars...How will this affect my commissions?
With some of our Casino Merchants, the players have the opportunity
to play in british pounds, euros, canadian dollars or US dollars. To calculate your
commissions, the net revenue of such players that you referred will
be changed to US dollars, following a daily exchange rate from www.oanda.com.
The exchange rates will be dynamically requested once a day, to
ensure their accuracy. Your commissions will therefore still be
paid in US dollars.
