The Top Trends for the Future of Affiliate Gambling Marketing

Over the years Affiliate marketing has become a vital cog in the way that businesses attract and acquire new visitors and customers. This is why affiliate marketers in the online casino games industry have to be quick to understand and respond to what is a constantly changing marketing landscape. So much has changed already in the recent past including an increased focus on authoritative content and mobile compatibility, but other challenges are still to come and anyone involved in the sector needs to be ready. Check out the list below to find out the top trends for the future of affiliate marketing:

Content Will Still be king

Making No Deposit Free Bet Offers Worthwhile for Players and Online Casinos

Online casinos are a profitable business, they may work to tiny margins but a ‘locked-in’ player can and will drip-feed a tidy revenue into a casino over time.

Consequently, like all good businesses, more and more companies are throwing their hat into the ring and joining the online casino merry-go-round hoping they have what it takes to attract new customers and keep them.

Traditionally brick-and-mortar casinos spent all their time and effort in keeping their customers loyal.  Online casinos took that a step further by focusing on new customers and attracting them with tasty ‘sign-up bonuses’ which also work to ‘lock in’ new players who have to dedicate some substantial game play hours to receive the sign-up bonus in full.

But now all online casinos are offering sign-up bonuses and operators have been forced to pull a new offer out of their bag and that is ‘No Deposit Free Bets’

Increase Your Chances of Winning a Progressive Jackpot

As soon as a casino game player starts taking a look at the slot games on offer to them at any casino site they have chosen to sign up to and log into, they are going to be tempted to play some of the many different slots offering a progressive jackpot.

There are of course hundreds of progressive jackpot slot games you can play online, however the vast majority of them only offer players the chance of winning one jackpot, and when playing such  slots the actual odds of your lining up the jackpot paying winning combination of reel symbols are huge!

However, what you may be blissfully unaware of is that there are several recently launched slot games that offer players the chance of winning not one single jackpot but several progressive jackpots. Also the way that many of those slots award their jackpots is quite different to anything you may have come across before.

The Best Smartphone + VR set combinations for Casino Gaming

Let’s be honest, most mobile casino games aren’t that hardware intensive – and that’s part of their appeal; the ability to run them on just about anything is one of the reason poker, blackjack and roulette are the go-to hobby for many commuters, armchair gamers, and people escaping the rain and reality by staying in bed.

However, the development of games that utilize virtual reality (VR) as a gameplay mechanic, placing the player in a digital casino with their competitors, means that you might need a phone with a little more horsepower in the future.

Australia's new casino boom

Australia's casino landscape is set to change significantly over the next five years, with two major new casinos set to open and the possibility of as many as 2-3 others beginning construction.

Final approval for the project was granted in June this year, with a 350-room hotel also planned for the site, which overlooks Sydney Harbour.

The Multi-Provider Online Casino

An increase in the popularity of online casinos over the past decade has not remained unnoticed, and this has certainly led to a shift in power with the emergence of numerous big game providers.
