What
is Casino Coins?
Casino Coins is an Affiliates Program offering Webmasters the chance
to earn profits through online casino banner advertising.
Casino Coins is NOT an online casino in and of itself.
Once you apply for and are accepted into the program, you may
advertise banners on your website for revenue.
The purpose of this program is to allow Webmasters to make
money by generating real-money players at Casino Coins’ sponsoring
casinos.
How
do I make money through the Casino Coins Affiliates Program?
Casino Coins sponsors three online casinos. By generating website
traffic which leads to new Real Players (players who make real-money
purchases) at our sponsoring casinos, you earn profits through
commissions and referral bonuses.
There are various methods in which to promote these casinos. The
most effective way to advertise is through banner
implementation—simply add one or more casino banners to your site
to increase your chances of generating Real Players and profits.
When a visitor enters your site and clicks on a casino banner,
he/she will link to that casino's website. There, your visitor
download the games, register with the casino, and become a
real-money player. All of these steps must occur for Webmasters to
earn commissions.
When you download the banners, you will get an HTML and tracking
code. Through this code, your players are tracked to your site and
added to your stats and commissions.
Who
are Casino Coins’ sponsoring casinos?
Casino Coins sponsors three first-rate, established online casinos:
-
English Harbour Casino
www.englishharbour.com
-
Caribbean Gold Casino
www.caribbeangold.com
-
Silver Dollar Casino
www.silverdollar.com
All
casinos are fully licensed by the Government of Antigua and Barbuda,
and are operated by English Harbour Entertainment Ltd.
I’d
like to play at the casinos to check out what I’m advertising.
Can I do this for free?
Absolutely! You are
encouraged to familiarize yourself with the sponsoring casinos’
games, and are welcome to play either as a guest or for real money.
Simply visit the casino website, download/install the free
software, and start playing!
How
long will it take for my application to be approved?
Casino Coins offers personalized service, and the application
process involves checking each application and website before
granting approval to the program. Generally, applications are
reviewed and approved within 24 hours. However, there are some
instances when application reviews will require more time.
Does
Casino Coins accept all websites?
Casino Coins accepts many websites. However, any websites which
contain pornographic material are not acceptable; therefore, all
applications from Webmasters whose sites contain pornographic or any
illegal content will be rejected.
I
have more than one website. Do
I need to complete a separate application for each one?
No. You may add all
your websites (on which you intend to advertise by displaying our
sponsoring casinos’ banner ads) on one application.
Can
I change my username after I have joined Casino Coins?
No. For your own
protection and for security reasons, your username cannot be changed
once you have been accepted into the program; therefore, it is
advised to select your permanent username carefully when applying.
I've
been accepted into the program.
How do I get started?
Once you have been accepted to the Casino Coins Affiliates Program,
you can start immediately by downloading the sponsoring casinos’
banners to your website. To do this, click on the “DOWNLOAD
BANNERS” button on the Casino Coins main site page.
There will be a selection of current, proven top-performing
banners for each casino, which you may add to your site.
What
is an URL?
An URL (Uniform Resource Locator), also known as a domain name, is
your website address.
As part of the application process, you are asked to enter your
URL—please enter your website address in that field. Your URL, or
domain name, must be your own website. You must have
Webmaster access to this site so you can advertise the casinos
through banner implementation.
Does
Casino Coins provide an URL for prospective applicants?
No. To become a member
of Casino Coins Affiliates Program, you first need an URL prior to
your application, as Casino Coins does not maintain websites or
provide URLs.
Where
can I get an URL?
There are many ways to find an URL. Some ISPs (Internet Service
Providers) offer web space that is either included in your service
fees or is provided for an additional charge. There are also many
free website providers available to you on the Internet. To find
these services, go to a search engine (such as Yahoo, Lycos, etc.)
and input search words or phrases such as: free web space, free web
hosting services, etc.
How
do I maintain my website?
You can maintain your own website best through understanding and
coding in HTML. If you
would like assistance learning HTML, or are looking for a simple
WYSIWYG (“What you see is what you get”) web editor, you can
find a variety of sources by using a search engine and entering
search words or phrases such as: web maintenance, web design, web
hosting, web editor programs, HTML basics, etc.
Will
Casino Coins maintain my website?
No. Casino Coins does
not provide website maintenance and therefore does not maintain or
update any affiliates’ websites. You can learn more about creating
and updating websites through a variety of web editor programs.
To find information about web editors, use a search engine
and enter search words or phrases such as: web maintenance, web
design, web hosting, web editor programs, HTML basics, etc.
Do
I get a bonus from Casino Coins if I bring in more Real Players?
Absolutely! For every
five (5) additional Real Players (those who make real-money
purchases at the casino) you bring in, you will receive $25.
How
can I tell I'm doing well?
There are many ways to gauge your performance. The most noticeable,
of course, is by checking your revenues. If you are bringing in a
monthly profit, you are doing well. Another good idea is to check
your stats regularly. Do you have a reasonable number of players
coming in on a daily basis?
If so, are they spending money?
Are they, or do they have the potential to be, a long-time
real-money player at the casino?
If you answered YES to these questions, you're on the right
track and should congratulate yourself for your hard work.
How
does the two-tier program work?
The two-tier program is a bi-level system, allowing you these two
ways to earn profits:
1. From generating Real Players, and
2. Through referrals to other Webmasters.
When you generate Real Players, you can earn up to 35% commission.
When you refer Webmasters, you can get a bonus of 5% commission for
the Real Players they bring in to the casinos.
How
often do I get paid?
Webmaster payments are calculated at the beginning of each month,
and cheques are generally issued around the 10th.
Webmasters who earn payment are also notified by email. If
cheques are not received by the 15th of the month, please notify
Casino Coins.
How
much money can I make in a month through Casino Coins?
Your earnings depend greatly on the strength of your website, and
how effectively you advertise the sponsoring casinos. The profit
margins can range anywhere from $100 to $12,000 per month. On
average, Casino Coins Webmasters make approximately $1,000 per
month.
How
much do I need to earn in order to receive a cheque each month?
To receive a cheque, you need to earn $200.00 or more per month.
This amount is calculated based on earnings made as of the last day
of the month. For example, if you have earned $200.00 by the end of
the month, you will receive a cheque within the first half of the
following month.
Amounts totalling under $200.00 are carried over to the next month.
For example, if you earned $175.00 at the end of the month, that
amount will be added to the following month’s total, which
increases your chances to earn profit for the following month since
your starting point is already at $175.00.
Can
I make more money by referring another Webmaster to Casino Coins?
Yes! If you refer a
Webmaster to the affiliates program, you earn an additional 5% for
Real Players they bring in. Moreover,
commissions and referral fees are paid on the net revenues for the
playing life of the player(s), and there is no limit to the number
of Webmasters you can recruit.
Real Players do generate the most revenue for you.
However, referring other Webmasters provides additional
profits to a depth of five tiers!
For instance, some of Casino Coins Affiliates Webmasters earn
half of their monthly total profits through Webmaster referrals
alone!
How
often are my stats updated?
All stats are updated quickly, ranging from almost immediately to
daily. The approximate
update/refresh time is as follows:
Clicks
& Downloads—approximately once every two seconds.
Guest
and Real Players—approximately once every four hours.
Your
Balance—approximately once daily.
I
have been a member of Casino Coins for a month, and the hit counter
on my website indicates that I have had visitors, but my stats still
say "0". Why?
It is important to note the distinction between having visitors to
your site and generating real-money Players to the casinos.
In order for you to make commissions, visitors to your site
must click on one of our sponsors' banners, link to the casino's
site and download the games software, register as a Real Player, and
play and purchase at the casino.
What
happens when one of my players hits the jackpot?
When one of your players hits the jackpot, the amount won will show
up as a negative number in your stats, indicating your account is
minus that amount (this calculation is consistent with Net Casino
Revenues). IMPORTANT:
Should your account go into a negative balance, you DO NOT pay
or owe anything.
In
order for your account to attain a positive balance (thus pushing it
back up into the profit margin), continue your advertising and
marketing to generate Real Players, and remember, those extra
monthly bonuses, such as Webmaster referrals, can be a great boon in
this type of situation.
What
is Casino Coins’ policy on spamming?
Casino Coins does not accept spam or spammers under any
circumstances. If we discover that an affiliate is using spamming
practices to market any of our sponsoring casinos, the Webmaster who
initiated the spam will have his/her account closed and be removed
from the Casino Coins program immediately. Any payments due the
Webmaster may also be cancelled.
What
is a "cheater"?
A cheater is an affiliate Webmaster who uses Casino Coins property
on web sites that are not permissible. For instance, if Casino Coins
banners, code, images, etc. are used on pornographic sites or sites
with illegal content, we want to find them as soon as possible, as
they could affect not only the payout rates (and thus the
commissions of other Webmasters), but the integrity and hard-earned
reputation of the sponsoring casinos.
The main page of our website contains a link to a “Report
Cheaters” form, which you can submit with complete confidentiality
and anonymity.
