In addition to the various casino affiliate programs and sportsbook affiliate programs, there are a number of affiliate networks that bring together a range of separate programs. The benefits are a combined payment each month, statistics can be tracked as one (albeit with breakdowns per program) and in most cases the programs enjoy better reputations, although this is not always the case. If merchants aren’t able to run their own program then they usually sign with one of the networks. Listed below are the main ones. Some focus on geographic areas and others tend to focus on certain types of remuneration. All of the follow programs are free to join.
Remember one thing. There are two sides to this relationship. One as a publisher and the other as an merchant. You can sign up with these networks for either function, depending on whether you wish to just join and advertise some affiliate programs, or you wish to start an affiliate program for your own site.
Affiliate Window
Affiliate Window is more European and particularly UK focused. There are a few gambling affiliate programs represented. Features of the program are pretty much standard and similar to the others. They do offer some unique programs that you won’t find elsewhere. For example, if you are looking for a UK based sportbook affiliate program, then you might find it here.

CJ – Commission Junction
Possibly the most well known. Plenty of good and bad publicity about them. This is bound to happen when you have as many members as they do. There is money to be made with them and they do offer some useful tools for linking and reporting. For non-US people they are able to send checks in a number of currencies which helps to reduce the fees that banks charge for depositing foreign currency checks.

Rakuten Advertising (LinkShare)
Not a lot of direct gambling programs, but plenty of other programs that you may be able to include on your sites. For example, if you have a sports related site then there are sports programs that may be of interest to your visitors. They have an email facility to keep you up to date with offers.
Shareasale
Not a lot of programs to choose from, however they do have a decent program for lottery ticket sales. These are land based lotteries and not the online ones. Consider joining this program if you want to include lottery ticket sales on your site.
