Many youtubers and friends share their referral codes/affiliate links, saying you will get bonuses, real money, or free spins. but I wonder if casinos give extra help or benefits in some different situations.
For example, when someone wins a big multiplier and multiplies their account by 100x, then some casinos take a long time to process the withdrawal, or they may not even give the money. however, some say that if you sign up using a good affiliate or influencer affiliate code which have huge audience, then you won't face these type issues. also, if you promote the casino using your referral link, they might not hold back your withdrawal because you helped them get new customers.
is this kind of things is considered shady practice, or is it considered fair in the online gambling world?
I do not think that there is a difference signing up under a normal user and an influencer unless the casino has a deal with the influencer. But under normal circumstance, there will be no difference if a casino wanted to scam their player of not paying them the amount of money the player won.
Sometimes, some of them give out money to those who registered under them to gamble with, and you know why?
Because the more the total wagers higher the take home pay at the end of the month as affiliates comissions.
That is if the casino means of affiliation is not dependent on how much the referred uses losses but on the wagering volume of the referred player. We have known that sometimes the affiliate system that relies on the amount gain/loss by the player sometimes gives negative yield especially when the referred player won a huge amount of money.
