iGaming

iGaming is the umbrella term for online gambling verticals — casino, sports betting, poker, and related formats. It's one of the highest-paying but also most tightly regulated verticals in affiliate marketing, with strict geo restrictions and heavy ad-platform moderation.

How iGaming offers pay out

The typical models are CPA on first deposit (FTD) or RevShare, a percentage of a player's net losses over time, which ties directly into their LTV and payout hold. RevShare pays less upfront but potentially far more over the long run with a player who sticks around, while CPA delivers a fast, predictable payout.

Why PWA is a common choice for iGaming

Native casino and betting apps are routinely rejected by store review or require a separate publishing license, so a PWA is a way to deliver the product to users around those restrictions. This vertical leans on the full APEX stack — cloaking and antibot so ad-platform reviewers never see the real gambling offer, crypto payment support (USDT), which fits iGaming's audience naturally, and push sends to bring players back for repeat deposits.

FAQ

Why do buyers often use a PWA instead of a native app for iGaming?
Because gambling apps either fail store review or require licenses and regional restrictions most affiliates don't have. A PWA installs straight from the browser, sidestepping those barriers.
Is CPA or RevShare more typical for iGaming?
Both show up: CPA on FTD gives a fast, predictable payout, while RevShare pays a share of a player's losses over time with potentially higher upside. The choice usually comes down to whether the buyer is willing to wait on player LTV instead of a one-off payment.
