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 don't think casinos will give consideration regardless of who you sign up with, you have no protection if you sign up for famous streamers or one of their VIP, affiliates are term based, if they find your account violating any of their terms they will ban you and confiscate you, if you have a big number of referrals do all you can to make your account clean so you continue to reap rewards of your effort of recruiting your referrals, and casino don't care if you have hundreds of referrals, you will not get VIP status as a super referral, in fact they change their affiliate terms for their referrals to lose their earnings, so be very careful on the kind of casino you're promoting.
