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!

A recent survey has confirmed that almost two out of three (63%) of Illinois residents support legalizing online casinos.
The survey, created by casino bonus and online casino review site BonusFinder.com, asked 1,000 Illinois residents their take regarding legalizing online casinos. The focus group covered voters across a variety of political backgrounds, age groups, and different geos.
Despite online casinos currently being illegal in Illinois, and the only way to access them is illegally, the survey found that one in four residents (26%) admitted to having played at an online casino.
According to a separate analysis, which delved into how much US States could be missing out on in online casino tax revenue, it revealed that Illinois could be missing out on up to $788m. Instead of going to the State, this potential tax money is being funneled to unregulated offshore gambling platforms.
When questioned, hypothetically, how residents would prefer the tax revenue to be spent they prioritized: public education (61.4%), mental health and addiction services (54.8%) and improvements in infrastructure (44%).
Other services that were still important, but less of a priority, to those questioned in the survey were: affordable housing (38%), crime prevention (33.1%), community programs (26.2%) and environmental initiatives (22.7%).
“These findings show that Illinoisans are ready for online casinos, as long as it’s done responsibly,” commented Luciano Passavanti, Vice President at BonusFinder.com.
“The message from voters is clear – they want safe, transparent platforms and strict oversight.
“They also want to know that tax revenue from online casinos will directly benefit their communities; whether that’s through education, healthcare, or local infrastructure.
“Illinois is already a major gaming market. Legalizing online casinos is the next logical step.”
While the majority of voters were in favor (63%), 19% were against legalization and 17.5% remained unsure.
The largest age group supporters of legalizing online casinos was the 45-54 age group, with 68.8% being in favor. However, the age group whose least in favor of legalization remained to be those aged 65 and over – with 51.2% being in favor of legalizing online casinos in Illinois.
The second-largest age group in favor of legalizing iCasinos are those aged 35-44 (64.1%), the third-largest group stood to be those in the 18-34 age bracket with 63.7% of voters supporting legalization.
When it comes to the battle of the sexes, men were found to be significantly more open to the idea of legalization, with 70.5% of men in support. However, in comparison, just 58.3% of women were found to be in support of legalizing online casinos in the State.
Furthermore, a variety of correspondents across different political views were also questioned; with findings revealing that Republican voters were slightly more in favor (65.4%) of legalization compared to Democrat voters (63.3%).
