I would like to ask about the difference in affiliate marketing between Eastern Europe and Western Europe, including North America.

I noticed that in the Western European and American segment of affiliate marketing the absolute majority of people are engaged in solo marketing, while in Eastern Europe there are many teams with whole chains of interaction, automating and simplifying the work of media buyers at the expense of pharming departments, etc., which gives more time to concentrate on bundles and gives more opportunities for earning and concentration (teams can reach 300+ people with tens of millions of turnover, and accordingly with good income, and offices in different cities and towns). So here's a question: are there, for example, in the UK and other countries of Western Europe and the US teams related to gambling verticals, cryptocurrencies, etc. and why it is less developed and not so visible, given that the sphere of affiliate marketing in Eastern Europe emerged much later. As much as I've searched for information on western forums, I haven't found anything. It would be interesting to hear your opinion?

p.s The interest is that in the near future I am planning to move to another country in Western Europe and it is important for me whether it makes sense to develop in this direction and whether there is an opportunity to work in this field directly in agencies related to arbitrage traffic marketing. And where can I find such especially in gray topics. Thank you.

My guess is the in Eastern Europe these are all pass-through revenue operations perhaps.

Also, there is very little transparency in the actual business operations in these pursuits.

Focusing on gambling verticals, cryptocurrencies? This is a relatively shady quasi-legal business pursuit to start with unless they are regulated by US, GB or Malta. Cyprus and Curacao are shady AF. So, why are you wondering why the business entities engaged are not that forthcoming?

That's the thing, I'm wondering how it works from a legal point of view in your area. Because when I read about how legal it is in general, they usually write that it's perfectly legal if the casino has a license, and articles like this usually only touch on the moral aspect and ethical development in these verticals. But still, if the casino is regulated through companies licensed in Cyprus for example, what is stopping them from doing business more openly. Also, I would add to the last post, teams are opening their branches in central Europe as well, namely in Poland, which is part of the EU, I think everything is more transparent there. And I understand you correctly, there are such teams in Western Europe, and if the casino has a license at least one of the countries you listed, then in general they can not worry about their safety from a legal point of view? And I only have to comply with local laws on advertising online casino geo on which I, for example, I'm going to pour traffic?
 
Yes, I know that, that's why for many arbitrage teams because of regulation the US is closed as a geo because besides federal laws there are state laws that can be very different in some laws between each other and it's like walking on a knife edge because you can't fully control your traffic and one mistake can be very expensive, if I'm not mistaken the same geo includes China. But here is a question in general if I want to open an office in the UK in the future and I as a person who will work only with licensed casinos (in those countries you listed in the first post) I have the opportunity to pour on all the other geos and in the future to scale my business? Will a Cyprus license be enough for me to pour traffic to conditional Iceland.
Most likely, the license is not my concern and the casino, my business is to choose the offer, where the license is available and meets the requirements for gambling.
I understand that you can pour anywhere, the main thing is that the casino or crypto exchange has the appropriate licenses and advertising campaigns were launched in accordance with the laws of the region. Honestly, I am confused, because I want to do business, from which you can then build something :) it would be cool to actually do what I like and what brings good money and have the prospect of becoming not just rich, but a wealthy person.
 
Eastern European countries have little or looser regulations than EU nations do.

US regulations are strange: there is 100% lawful in that state (varies by state-to-state in the US) if you have a license as an affiliate operator in that state to offer gambling.Then you can contract (CPA) with casinos and sportsbooks lawfully to residents of those states only --plan on spending $500.00 to $3,000 or more --depending on how many states you want licensing for.

  • Curacao are mostly on a bulk licensing arrangement (front) --the address is a large home on the island :D I had occasion to check it.
  • Cyprus the licenses trace back to a small storefront/commercial building (front for ex RuZZian mob money? IDK) I had occasion to check it.
  • In Canada gambling is legal --You would have to check yourself what the requirements are.
  • In India the laws are all over the place --they are trying to tax in country online gambling 28% --greedy buggers, aren't they?
That said, you may find companies in gambling and sportsbooks that will deal with you and the customers you refer fairly in spite of their being not so legitimate.
 
Do I understand you correctly that I, as an affiliate marketer, am not responsible for the fact that I advertise a casino without a licence, and all claims that may arise from the state are solely related to the casino itself? Regardless of whether it has a licence or not. What I should be interested in is not so much whether the casino has a licence, but whether I am complying with the law on "advertising gambling on the Internet"?
 
Of course, I would like to work legally and even pay taxes :) in accordance with the law, where the office can be located and the company is registered. Well and of course to travel without fear I am not a member of any criminal organization and such "romance" does not attract me in terms of lifestyle. I understand that if I want not to be nervous about it and live a full-fledged gambling life at all it is not worth to do or not to deal with offers directed to the USA?
Because in general I'm willing to add a few countries to the blacklist on traffic spillover because of questionably flexible or rigid laws.
But you're talking about the legality of advertising in the US because you're a resident of that country, and it's great that you're empowering me not to do something stupid because "not knowing the law doesn't exempt you from following it". It would be interesting to hear the opinions of people living in the UK and EU as well, and ask about online casino regulation from them. As far as I understand, it is important to deal with casinos that have licenses in the countries you listed in your first post and not to deal with heavily regulated countries.
(For me, it's the US - because federal laws can conflict with state laws, and vice versa, and it's best not to go there without experience, good lawyers, and possibly a partner who will be local. China - because of strict laws, and Saudi Arabia and similar countries where there are religious prohibitions).
 
Gambling online is not legal in China. I am sure Chinese people do it all the time. Same with other places. You can use a VPN/Proxy and Bitcoin/Crypto to gamble, give a false address and use protonmail. They just payout winnings to your crypto wallet.

Other than in the US, the actual gambling or sportsbook site operator is probably the only one who might face government jurisdictional criminal liability.

In the US you cannot send traffic and get paid by a licensed casino unless you are also licensed. So, you either to in right or you will not be able to do it at all.

However, you could sell ads (media placement) on your domain, to the US casios/sportsbooks without a license --CPC CPM getting paid for the ad and not as an affiliate (operator).

probably <-not legal advice.
In theory if you visited that country --you could be arrested and charged.

Is the subject country making an exclusion for 'offering' or is there no inclusion either?
Notwithstanding US state required gambling authority licensing laws.


Secondly, both nations must have laws that are parallel and of a similar penalty to honor extradition requests.

You need to understand every country's legal framework with regard to internet gambling to answer the questions that you are asking.

Or, just don't get caught or your 'empire' will meltdown.

As an example
