Question Regarding Signing Up At A SportsBook Through An Affiliate ...

[Halifax]

If I sign up at a sportsbook through an affiliate, does the affiliate have a say over the betting limits that I have at that book ?

For example, let's say that I sign up at Diamond Sportsbook, using the affiliate link of XYZ Sports. I proceed to bet and win $50,000 over the course of a few weeks.

Obviously, this $50,000 win of mine is cutting into the profit of the affiliate, since the affiliate generally gets a share of the cumulative losses of all of the affiliate's clients.

Can the affiliate contact Diamond and request that Diamond lower my limits, or is that decision solely a decision of Diamond management ?

Or does it work the opposite way, where Diamond management will not alter my limits UNLESS the affiliate tells them to do so ?

On the credit side, I know the agent has the say in setting a client's betting limits, but I'm not sure how it works with an affiliate sign-up.

I would think it is individual and depends on how strong the affiliate is. If he sends the book a lot of players and wants a say, I would think he gets one.

The affiliate has no say at all in your stakes and no sportsbook would allow an affiliate to dictate terms.
Each player under an affiliate is a separate entity - they either do or don't make money on each player. It is not cumulative. If you make $50K then the affiliate gets nothing - I hope you are!

It depends on what the affiliate has worked out with the book. If the affiliate is paying per head, he has Total control over all your limits. If he is working off of a 20% sheet then the book controls the limits. If the book has a piece of the action they are gonna control the limits. If they don't they could care less what you bet.

Okay - I am missing something. I thought affiliates either got paid CPA (bounty) or by profit share - so in both those cases they have no say in limits.

What is paying per head? Sounds like you can actually 'buy' a player so the bookmaker only makes the money you pay the bookmaker and the affiliate then takes control of the action.

Interesting concept even if it doesn't occur. But to do it then an affiliate in essence is becoming a bookmaker.
