How to Drive Traffic Without Caps and Earn Without Limits? Betmen Affiliates x Marsa Team
Reading Time: 4 minutes
If you – an affiliate marketer – can generate quality traffic, then you can easily secure offers with competitive CPA rates. However, these often come with limited daily caps – a well-known pain point in the market. Other pain points include advertisers who are afraid of running into high costs, are reluctant to share other GEOs with advertising networks, or simply don’t trust you.
The problem of limited caps becomes even more apparent when resources allow affiliates to drive traffic in large volumes, and due to constant caps, partners have to gather dozens of offers at once in order to earn.
In this article, Betmen Affiliates and Marsa Team explain how to go about building relationships in the iGaming market. We discuss how the two companies worked using a spend-based traffic payment model with no volume limitation, and why such conditions are a real growth opportunity for affiliate marketers.
How Teams Typically Take on Offers and the Problems They Face
When an Affiliate Sales Manager agrees on an offer’s terms, rates and an offer’s technical aspects, the next step for partners is the test run. This usually involves 25-50 FTDs (first-time deposits). After the traffic is delivered, the advertiser checks the profitability over 1-2 weeks, analyzing player behavior, the percentage of bonuses that were used, and other metrics.
If the traffic quality is deemed suitable, the affiliate is given a small daily cap. The CPA rate, however, remains unchanged or increases slightly, resulting in little profit to the affiliate marketer in this collaboration.
We can see two issues with this partnership model:
1. Limited scaling opportunities. Very often, the advertiser may not be ready to provide a significant increase in the cap — for example, increasing to 70 daily FTDs instead of 50. Volumes such as these are insufficient for a large team of affiliate marketers. This means new offers must constantly be found, leaving the affiliate team to have to adapt to a new product and new conditions each time. Circumstances such as these make it hard to predict profits.
2. Even a converting offer might not be profitable. Let’s say an affiliate team has a good deal whereby they provide high-quality traffic and bring in a positive – though not high – ROI of 30%. With a volume of 50 daily FTDs, income is indeed insignificant. With a CPA of $100, in a month, an affiliate team could earn:
This offer results in a profit of around $1,000 per day. Working with the advertiser under these conditions is pointless if the offer can’t be scaled. However, if volumes were increased tenfold with profits of $349,000, the situation would certainly be more appealing, right?
The Uncapped Model Used by Marsa Team and Betmen Affiliates
To transition to an uncapped model, partners had to achieve a certain level of traffic quality without increasing the cost of acquiring deposits to critical levels. Team leads from both sides communicated regularly to solve problems together: they worked on targeting by excluding smaller cities, adapted age groups, and adjusted creative approaches. The Marsa Team was open to suggestions, and the quality of traffic started to improve.
Quality traffic always leads to higher lead costs, so Betmen Affiliates suggested that the Marsa team switch to a spend-based payment model and drive traffic at any volume – a proposal which was much more interesting and profitable than working on a CPA basis.
The spend-based model works like this: First, the GEO is selected, and the deposit price is set. Partners then receive a fixed percentage of their advertising expenses when they meet their target. The quality of the traffic is evaluated as a percentage based on the 14-day Deposit OAS (On Average Spend). For example, if you agreed on terms of 25% on the amount spent with a 70% 14-day Deposit OAS, you would earn $2,500 for every $10,000 spent on advertising.
The main difference with the spend-based model is that the same lead may cost $100 under a CPA model and twice as much when working on a spend-model. This means that the team sets its own cost per lead. The only condition is higher traffic quality: the advertiser will expect that these types of players will show better results than those acquired through CPA.
How to Get an Uncapped Offer and Other Traffic Conditions
We have two main recommendations:
- Build a relationship of trust with the advertiser. Approach requests to improve traffic quality not as a signal to terminate the offer but as an opportunity for long-term cooperation. The advertiser can always help with recommendations and advice — optimize campaigns together, and the partner will notice that you’re interested in mutual success.
- Test multiple approaches and analyze all available metrics. If you want to drive traffic using the spend-based model with no caps, you’ll need to find an approach that gives you the most cost-effective FTD acquisition price and provides the advertiser with the required quality.
It may take months before you and your partner come to a mutual understanding, but the numbers speak for themselves as it is well worth it!

Gentle Fox Hold and Win continues 1spin4win’s four-part Japanese-themed slot series, following Tiger’s Steps Hold and Win, April’s most-played slot by bet count.
While its official release date is May 29, Gentle Fox Hold and Win was selected for exclusive pre-release by leading casino platforms, including Irwin, Gizbo, Jet, Izzi, Fresh, and others — a clear sign that operators are actively seeking content that combines originality with commercial impact.
Being the second title in the series, the game invites players to uncover the story of Tomoko-hama — the dangerously charming geisha known as the Gentle Fox — whose wit, beauty, and cunning hide a deeper motive.
Set in the shadow of Mount Fuji, Gentle Fox Hold and Win picks up the narrative thread that began in the first game of the series, drawing players further into a carefully crafted storyline. Years after being taken from her village and brought to the shogun’s castle, Tomoko-hama now tests the will and bravery of those who enter her tea house.
The core challenge of the game is the Hold and Win feature, triggered by landing three or more golden Coins. Players must then fill the Bonus reels with more Coins for the chance to win big, including the x100 Minipot Coin and the elusive x1,000 Megapot.
Olga Bogdanova, the Art Director at 1spin4win, commented, “The second slot in our Japanese-themed series keeps the rich atmosphere of the first but adds a deeper, more intriguing layer. Designed in warm tones, the game gently draws you into a world where calm hides a silent secret.”
Despite the narrative depth, the gameplay remains easy to understand with medium volatility and 97.1% RTP, which is in line with 1spin4win’s signature approach to slot design: simple mechanics, high engagement, and intuitive play for all levels of players.
As this new chapter opens, players move one step closer to the final clash that awaits in the series’ concluding release. Until then, all eyes are on Tomoko-hama — the Gentle Fox — and the secrets she’s yet to reveal.

Rafael Gállego, BetBrothers: “SEO Is Still One of the Most Powerful and Scalable Channels”
Few industries evolve as rapidly as iGaming. Navigating its landscape requires more than just technical know-how, as it demands adaptability, local insight, and a user-first mindset.
We sat down with Rafael Gállego, SEO Manager at BetBrothers, to explore what makes organic traffic a lasting growth engine in such a competitive space. Rafael’s journey began in 2017 at Game Lounge, where he started as a content writer before transitioning into SEO. In early 2025, he joined BetBrothers, where he now plays a key role in shaping organic growth strategies for Spanish-speaking markets.
BetBrothers has a notable presence with its Spanish websites. From an SEO perspective, what are the differences when optimizing for the Spanish market compared to other regions?
When optimizing for Spanish-speaking markets, one of the first things we consider is that Spanish is not the same language everywhere. There are major differences between Spain, Mexico, Peru, and the rest of LATAM. Not just in vocabulary, but in search behavior and user expectations too.
From an SEO point of view, this means our approach has to go beyond simple translation. We work with localized keyword research for each country, because the same query can have different volumes, intent, or competition depending on the region. For example, users in Spain might search for “apuestas online”, while in Mexico they’re more likely to use “apuestas en línea”.
Another key factor is building trust. In LATAM, elements like local payment options, bonuses in local currency, or even having a .mx or .pe extension can strongly influence user behavior. And indirectly, organic performance.
In short, SEO for Spanish markets requires a highly localized strategy that respects linguistic nuances, adapts to different user intents, and aligns with each market needs.
There’s some talk about SEO becoming less effective as a marketing channel. What are you actually seeing? Is it still a key growth tool for affiliates, or are things changing?
From our perspective at BetBrothers, SEO is still a core growth channel for affiliates. Especially in the betting and casino verticals. What’s changing is that it’s getting more competitive and more resource-demanding. It’s not that SEO is becoming less effective, but rather that the barrier to entry is higher than it used to be.
Google continues to evolve, and organic visibility is increasingly tied to E-E-A-T, technical health, UX, and content quality. That means affiliates can’t rely on quick wins or shortcuts anymore. You need a solid product, strong topical authority, and consistent effort to maintain and grow rankings.
That said, the intent behind SEO traffic remains unmatched. Users landing on affiliate pages through organic search are actively looking for information, comparisons, or to convert. That makes SEO one of the most valuable acquisition channels in terms of ROI.
So yes, things are changing, but SEO is far from dead. For affiliates who take it seriously, it’s still one of the most powerful and scalable channels.
With the rise of AI-generated content, and Google’s strong emphasis on E-E-A-T, how do you see its role? Do you think AI content can be effectively used by iGaming affiliates, or is a human touch indispensable for maintaining trust and rankings?
AI-generated content definitely has a role, especially when it comes to scaling certain types of content (like data-driven pages, FAQs, or supporting articles). At BetBrothers, AI helps us speed up processes and improve efficiency, but it’s not a substitute for human expertise.
In iGaming, trust and authority are key. And that’s where E-E-A-T comes in. Users (and Google) expect content to show experience, transparency, and relevance. That’s hard to fake. For example, when we write reviews, guides, or betting strategies, we make sure they’re backed by real insights, updated market knowledge, and a clear editorial voice. That requires a human touch.
We’ve experimented with AI to support content creation, but every piece still goes through human review and editing. In this industry, credibility matters. So while AI is useful, it needs to be part of a broader content strategy focused on quality, accuracy, and user value.
When a significant Google algorithm update rolls out – say, a core update that shakes up rankings – can you walk us through BetBrothers typical process for analyzing the impact, identifying necessary adjustments, and implementing changes for your affiliate sites?
When Google rolls out a major algorithm update, we follow a clear, structured process to assess and respond.
First, we monitor key metrics across our portfolio (traffic, rankings, user engagement, etc) to quickly spot any significant changes. We rely on tools like Google Analytics, Search Console, and Ahrefs to identify which sites and pages are most impacted.
Then, we analyze the winners and losers within our niche to understand what Google is prioritizing. We look closely at factors like content quality, user experience, and technical SEO to identify patterns.
For action, we focus on high-impact pages based on their traffic and revenue potential. Our main efforts target improving content depth, enhancing user experience, and strengthening E-E-A-T signals. Instead of broad, sweeping changes, we implement precise, data-driven adjustments and closely monitor their impact.
Throughout, we stay grounded in our core philosophy: delivering genuine value to users.
What technological or market shifts do you think could radically impact SEO in iGaming in the next five years?
We’re already seeing major shifts that are transforming SEO in iGaming, and that pace is only accelerating. One of the biggest changes is Google’s integration of AI into search through SGE (Search Generative Experience). As Google answers more queries directly — especially informational ones — traditional results are seeing lower visibility and CTR. For affiliates, this makes it even more important to focus on transactional keywords and build strong, recognizable brands that users trust.
Another ongoing shift is regulation. Markets like Spain, Mexico, and Colombia are constantly evolving. Changes — like a rumoured potential ban on welcome bonuses in Spain — can happen fast. When they do, SEO strategies need to adapt quickly.
And looking a bit into the crystal ball, we also notice the possibility of search engines applying stricter filters to gambling content based on compliance trends. That could radically change how we approach SEO.
Lastly, the growing role of first-party data and UX signals is changing how we measure and optimize performance. At BetBrothers, we’re investing in collecting direct user feedback to better tailor our content. As Google rewards trust, engagement, and relevance, SEO in iGaming is becoming less about technical tweaks and more about product quality, user insight, and long-term credibility.

As conversations around gambling regulation and responsible gaming gain momentum in the UK, new research from BonusFinder reveals a complex public sentiment toward the online gambling landscape.
The nationwide survey, which was conducted in May 2025 and included 1,000 respondents, reveals that while the majority of Brits engage with online gambling platforms occasionally, concerns around transparency, trust and bonus terms remain prominent.
Usage patterns
Respondents were asked a series of questions on how they use online gambling platforms, the types of gambling they participate in the most, and if they claim the bonuses offered to them.
Overall, the usage of the platforms across the UK might not be as high as some expect, with 65% claiming they ‘rarely’ use gambling sites and 19% saying they only use the platforms ‘occasionally’.
UK attitudes towards online gambling & bonuses in 2025 have become more lenient in comparison to previous years. The study found that younger Brits, those in the 18-24 bracket, were the least likely to use gambling platforms at 5%, whilst being the most likely to only use the sites ‘rarely’.
Of those asked, within that age bracket, 76% claimed they use gambling sites less than once a month. Meanwhile, 34-55 year olds are most likely to use sites multiple times a week, with 9% claiming so.
Self-employed Brits are the most likely to be using gambling platforms multiple times a week at 12%, this was followed by those who are unemployed at 11%.
Unsurprisingly, sports betting is the most common form of online gambling in the UK with 42% of respondents claiming that this is the type of gambling they participate in most often.
It was also the most popular form of betting across most of the age ranges, except for the two oldest brackets (55-64, 64+) whose most popular choice was ‘other’, which can include the likes of lottery and horse racing.
Bonus awareness & understanding
Around three in five (59%) Brits have claimed a welcome bonus or promotional offer from online gambling sites. However, even more respondents (63%) say that they rarely use casino betting bonuses outside of these welcome bonuses.
Only 3% of the respondents said they use bonuses almost every time they gamble, whilst 26% use them ‘occasionally’. Those who do use bonuses said they most frequently find them directly on the gambling site, with 64% saying so.
This was followed by finding them through social media or website ads (26%) and bonus comparison sites (13%).
Understanding of online casino terms (such as ‘wagering requirements’, ‘cashable vs.
non-cashable’) is quite clear amongst Brits, with 17% saying their understanding is ‘very clear’ whilst 42% say their understanding is ‘somewhat clear’.
Only 16% claimed they don’t understand the terminology at all. Additionally, 56% of Brits claim that they’ve been surprised by the conditions attached to some bonuses.
Confidence in regulation & industry fairness
Not just in the UK, but globally, the casino and gambling industry is often viewed with controversy, prompting a regulatory focus. However, there is no shortage of systems in place in the UK to ensure that these platforms are properly regulated.
On the other hand, despite this, the results show that Brits (understandably) still have their doubts about the systems in place. Overall, only 9% are ‘very confident’ that gambling sites are properly regulated, whilst 43% said they weren’t confident at all.
Older Brits (45-55 year olds) had the most confidence in sites being properly regulated, with 55% saying they’re confident; however, 65% of the eldest bracket (65+) said they had no confidence at all.
Many Brits also have doubts that the UK Gambling Commission are doing enough to protect customers. Only 19% said they thought that they do enough, 28% weren’t sure and 53% say they don’t protect customers at all.
However, the most surprising statistic in this section of the survey is that over two-thirds of the respondents (67%) said they don’t know how to check if a gambling site is licensed in the UK.
Unfortunately, Brits also have doubts when it comes to bonus comparison and affiliate sites sharing fair and unbiased information. In the survey, 54% of Brits claimed they felt like they couldn’t trust them, whilst 31% say they weren’t sure if they could or not.
The primary concerns around gambling and casino sites amongst Brits were;
- Addiction and gambling harm (32%)
- Misleading bonus terms (21%)
- Underage access (17%)
- Data privacy (14%)
- Unlicensed operators (13%)
UK perceptions & marketing
Almost half (45%) of Brits have a negative perception of online gambling sites, and 46% say that their view is ‘neutral’.
Despite earlier questions showing that the younger generation was the least likely to be using the sites on a regular basis, they were the most likely to have a positive view of the sites. Of the 25-34 year olds, 10% said they had a positive perception, this was also the same for the 35-44 age group.
Despite 42% of Brits saying that they feel that bonuses are advertised fairly only
‘sometimes’, 31% believe they aren’t all. Meanwhile 71% said they believe that bonus
promotions should be more strictly regulated.
When asked what would be their biggest confidence booster in regards to their use of online gambling and casino sites, the respondents said:
- Clearer terms and conditions (22%)
- Stronger licensing (15%)
- UK-based customer support (15%)
- Verified customer reviews (13%)
- Faster payouts (12%)
- Emphasis on responsible gambling tools (12%)
- Publicly verified RTP (return to player percentages) (11%)
