    Agreed - learning other ways to skin the cat is terrific.
    I know some about how affiliates work and I know a little about the slot streaming, I know about online bonuses. He is putting all that together with some extra stuff and making a business out of it.It was refreshing to hear about something other than card counting. He didn't really get into how much he was making, however, I get the feeling it's a really good gig. When done right any one of those things individually can be really good.

    Unfortunately, I am only familiar with the online bonus aspect of it. Hopefully, with legalized state sportsbetting coming online (figuratively and literally), it will once again become easy to fund and withdraw from online casino accounts for US Residents (rather than having Western Union butcher your payout with a massive processing fee).

    From what I understand he only streams a few online casinos and uses bonuses while doing that. I would guess they probably give him better and more frequent bonuses than the average Joe. I have no idea what the bonus terms are so its hard to say how lucrative that aspect is for him it could be really good, but for all I know that could be a break-even proposition for him. In turn, that allows him to freeroll all the other stuff from the streaming and affiliate revenue. I have to imagine people are much more likely to sign up and deposit if they are watching his stream. Getting people to make a deposit is key, that's how most online casino affiliates pay their promoters and not usually by clicks and views. They will either get a flat fee, a percentage of whatever the casino makes from a player or some kind of hybrid deal between the two. I have seen as much as $200 per depositing player who deposits as little as $50. Obviously, you could game that system for a while, I haven't seen anything that good for years. Most of the deals nowadays are percentage based. I have seen percentage deals of up to 50% of a players losses. Once you are an established affiliate partner you can negotiate the deals. When I get a chance I will check out what online casinos he is playing(unfortunately, I have a feeling they are restricted in the USA)

    The problem with legalization is monopolization. And suddenly the deals for the players get worst. If you are an AP theres a chance they bann you accross the board. Then again, it also opens up other opportunities.

    That's a very good point. Hopefully, since online casinos are a global industry, it will be more difficult for monopolization to occur (versus something like Walmart taking out small local competition since people do their grocery shopping locally, not globally).

    A story ran on 60 Minutes. Jerry and Marge Selby. A fabulous Advantage play from a retired couple hitting the Michigan State lottery. Over and over again. Completely legal. This has got to be the ultimate AP. Hopefully someone can post a link.
