Q&A With Connie Burstin of Casino Coins
Q: Please tell us a little bit about Casino Coins, its history, and what makes it special.
A: The Casino Coins Affiliate Program was one of the first online gaming affiliate programs to be launched after the Amazon.com affiliate boom in 1999. We are dedicated to helping affiliates achieve success by working with them step by step, and providing some of the best advertising content online. Since our inception, we have earned webmasters around the globe over 50 Million Dollars. Q: How is Casino Coins different from other online gambling sites?
A: Unlike other programs we offer every affiliate, no mater how big or small, the same first-class treatment and sales tools that will help them to drive traffic to our client’s websites. We have also bucked the current trend in the market of zeroing all negative balances so the affiliates can never be in the red on our program.
Q: What changes have Casino Coins undergone since its inception in 1999? Why?
A: When Casino Coins first started operations in 1999 we were dedicated primarily to casinos, hence the name Casino Coins. But since then we have grown a great deal, and have diversified our affiliate program beyond just casinos and into the full range of gaming genres. Most recently we added Bingo and Poker to our expanding list of products, widening the moneymaking opportunities for our affiliates.

Q: What is the most common mistake that affiliate members make in their marketing?
A: We find that some affiliates have a tendency to move ahead without a plan. For example, we have affiliates that will only place banners on their sites, which is not enough to advertise a product. Often the affiliates also become obsessed with the commission percentage they will receive. What many affiliates do not realize is, this business is all about conversions and maximizing their traffic. There are also cases of affiliates who do not pay enough attention of the type of traffic receiving on website by checking their web logs.
It alls end on having a proper planning and strategy to succeed on the time and money invested as an affiliate.
Q: Do you think an online casino is a good affiliate for an adult webmaster? Why or why not?
A: Yes. Like the audiences of adult websites, casino audiences are also looking to be entertained. I believe some of the larger adult affiliates have made significant sums in the online gaming arena already. Adult affiliates are used to competing in a very competitive market place and thus seek out niches where they can generate significant income, gaming is very similar to that end. Both market places are almost identical in that, payments to both industries are hampered by the big payment providers, PPC is difficult and expensive to get away yet both are highly popular with their end user. One thing is for sure, users will always hunt down ways to view adult content and to gamble online, through one of our clients www.silverdollarcasino.net we offer that opportunity all at one place.
Q: What can a typical webmaster realistically expect to gain by affiliation with Casino Coins?
A: Aside from the wide range of online marketing tools that we provide, we believe the most valuable thing we offer is our expertise and thorough knowledge of the online gaming industry. When a person becomes a Casino Coins affiliate they gain all of our foresight and awareness of the business, and therefore increase the volume and profitability of their traffic. At the end of the day we are all in this business to make money. The webmaster will be rewarded with on time up-to-date, transparent payments. We pay anywhere between 25%-35% of player losses within the casino. So this game doesn’t just have to be about sending thousands of players, if you concentrate on a niche where you can attract high rollers you many only need a few players per month to make a satisfying living.
Q: Are there special cautions that adult webmasters should exercise when searching for an online gambling affiliate program?
A: The main concern is the viability of a casino and the level of trust it instills in its players. In order to avoid wasting time on unprofitable casinos, Casino Coins ensures its sponsoring casinos are legitimate and trustworthy. You should check out the casinos yourselves before you decide to advertise it with your traffic. Remember your players will remember you sent them and they are trusting you, the least you can do is a bit of research.
Q: Is there anything else that you’d like to make sure webmasters know about Casino Coins?
A: Since 1999 Casino coins has been an industry leader in online Casino promotion. Based on our past successes we have the established strength to guarantee a strong and prosperous future, and would like nothing more then to share that future with more enthusiastic affiliates. WE are very close to unveiling new features to our program that will make sure the Casino Coins is the number one affiliate program in its field.
