Just a quick note to inform anyone and everyone that I am now able to setup unique promo codes per affiliate across all of our bingo affiliate programs (Yahoo!, Chit Chat, Littlewoods & Castle).

We will also be running a weekly batch report so any players who may well have used these codes but not gone though the tracking link will also be accredited to your account.

If you require a unique code please drop me a mail to james.little@stminverltd.com

Please note that this tracking is unfortunately only available via the independent program at:   http://affiliates.stminverltd.com and not via the 3^rd party networks such as Affiliate Future and Buy.at

I managed to battle though the nerves and take part in a podcast interview by the fantastic Fraser from http://www.affiliateblog.co.uk

We went over a few things including:

• St Minver & White Label Gaming Solutions
• New American Gambling Regulations
• Implications for affiliates
• Online Bingo Demographics
• Adwords & Bingo Advertising
• Gambling addiction and responsible promotion.
• Which Affiliate Networks St Minver are working with

It’s a good 20 minutes or so long so I hope it doesn’t bore you too much.

To celebrate the launch of the new St. Minver Affiliate site along with the addition of Yahoo! and Castle Bingo schemes going live we are offering a new “bounty” promotion to both new and existing affiliates.

For every 20 depositing players who deposit and play though at least £20 over a 2 month period the referring affiliate will receive an additional £100 bonus payment.

This promotion is valid across all St. Minver affiliate programs on the internal affiliate scheme, so the 20 players do not need to belong to the same site.

Online Bingo and Casino tends to see a growth over the period running up to Christmas so with the right campaign running across your sites or email it’s possible to receive this bounty a number of times over in the next two months.

Don’t forget that there are a number of unique promos at the moment such as the Free Mug offer from Chit Chat Bingo and the competition from Littlewoods to win a £3k holiday or HDTV – banners for both of these should go live today.

If you need any unique promo codes to give £2 credit instead of £1 please let me know.

I’m pleased to announce that our new affiliate system is now up and running at http://affiliates.stminverltd.com

IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE:

Existing affiliates should note that whilst old links have been tested and appear to work it is advisable that you replace your link code with the updated code generated by the new affiliate site.

WHATS NEW:

New Partners

We are pleased to announce the launch of Yahoo! and Castle Bingo affiliate programs. Yahoo! need no introduction and is one of the biggest and oldest online brands in the world. Their bingo product seems an excellent conversion rate Castle is an offline bingo network in South Wales who bring a number of their offline promotions onto the net – bridging the gap between the real and virtual bingo halls.

Single Login

Rather than having to manage multiple accounts on different sites to promote our partners, you can now do it all under one roof! Our new system lets you use a singular login to view reports and creative across all our affiliate programs – making it a lot simpler and giving you more time to spend promoting us!

New Reports

One of the most important features of the new affiliate system is the introduction of a player history report.

This means that you are now able to get a list of all the players that you have referred, broken down to a partner level. When you drill down further you will be able to see the deposits that the player has made along with the profit they have provided on a monthly basis.

The aim here is to further increase the visibility and help you estimate the profit that you are likely to receive over a monthly period and plan your marketing campaigns around it.

Automatic Payments

Payments are now calculated automatically at the beginning of every month and you will receive an email invoice on or before the 5th of every month. Payments will be automatically made on the second Friday of every month.

Further Payment Options

Some of our partners are now offering a range of payment terms including Rev Share, CPA or a Hybrid of the two. Payment selections are clearly defined when you sign up to the program.
