Here is a step-by-step guide to joining Rewards affiliatesÂ
Rewards Affiliates have quite wide geographic coverage, though they mainly cover and focus the United Kingdom, Denmark and Canada. The secondary markets that are listed below are ones from which traffic will be accepted, but are not seen as a priority by Rewards. Actual acceptance can depend on brand licensing and where the casino sites legally accept players. This means the secondary list below is not complete, so double-check with the brand or the affiliates program if the area you are targeting is not shown. Finally, it is expressly stated that no users will be accepted from countries where online gambling is expressly forbidden by local law. The other regions below in the appropriate section are prohibited.Â

Rewards Affiliates is among the longest‑running online casino affiliate programs, promoting a large portfolio of Microgaming‑powered casinos with flexible commission options including tiered RevShare, wager share, and CPA for new players. We particularly like the lifetime earnings model for all referred players. Affiliates benefit from fast monthly payouts in multiple currencies, extensive creative tools, and a dedicated support team to help optimise campaigns. The program’s proprietary tracking updates frequently and includes a sub‑affiliate tier, and a handy no negative carryover for balances. On the downside, some community discussions raise concerns about transparency, account stability, and conversion tracking accuracy. We suggest affiliates should scrutinise terms and actively engage with account managers to avoid surprises. All in all, Rewards Affiliates can be rewarding for experienced promoters targeting global casino traffic but with so many brands and factors at paly we would advise against those new to affiliate marketing jumping onboard.
