We are launching the much-awaited US series of useful tips, and our first post is dedicated to the legalization of the iGaming industry in the USA.

How the legalization of gambling started in the US

In 2011, the US Department of Justice announced that they had revised the Federal Wire Act (a law that prohibits certain types of gambling operations in the country). Most types of online gambling gained legal status as a result of these changes. Since then, a number of states have begun to move towards the legalization of casinos and betting.

Which states allow iGaming

The legal status of casinos and bookmakers varies from state to state due to differences in legislation. However, there are states that allow both — New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Connecticut, Nevada, and West Virginia.

Which states are planning to legalize iGaming

Illinois — as reported by playillinois.com, the move to legalize online casinos was supported by local state senator Christina Castro.

New York — according to the New York Times, 3 casino licenses were issued in April in southern New York State, which includes New York, Long Island and Westchester County.

Massachusetts, California, and Indiana are also considering legalization.

Big changes in the Alfaleads team!

Four of our specialists moved to new positions:

Sergey Akhmedulin — Head of Sales
Sergey joined Alfaleads about three years ago, already with great experience in the CPA niche. Having successfully survived fire, water, and marketing conferences, Sergey rose from Bizdev to Team Leader, and now he has rightfully claimed the position of Head of Sales. He is a living example that all doors open if you are determined enough!

Aleksandr Terekhovskii — Head of Growth
For a long time, Alexander had a portrait of Jordan Belfort hanging where he worked, and I think that's all you need to know about where he's headed. In 2.5 years, he has made and continues to make more and more breakthroughs in his career. He is now in charge of increasing the company's growth rate and developing a strategy for collaboration with key partners. Your turn, wolves of Wall Street!

Zachary Surov — Head of Affiliates
A new chapter has opened in Zachary's incredible story: he's gone from Team Leader to Head of Affiliates. Charming, sensitive, bright — he is all that, a true professional who is able to find the key to every client's heart. Big boss, congratulations!

Denis Vasin — Team Lead CCT
A truly unique individual and a very cool specialist, Denis is now tasked with leading the entire Customer Care Team. Way to go! By the way, we'll be publishing a big interview with him soon. He'll be talking about the intricacies of his team's work.

Be sure to

ASO Traffic: Expert Opinion on Clear Pros and Less Obvious Cons


Ilya Bogdanov from the Alfaleads Research and Development Department shares his insights and valuable tips for all affiliates venturing into ASO traffic.​


Hello, I'm Ilya, and at Alfaleads, we prioritize the exploration and testing of new traffic sources emerging in the affiliate marketing landscape. In my view, ASO is among the most promising traffic sources for the years to come, and in this article, I'll delve into it further.

ASO stands for App Store Optimization, a practice focused on optimizing mobile apps' visibility within app stores. The primary platforms for ASO are App Store and Google Play. The main objective of those working with ASO is to propel a casino or betting app to the top of search results in one of these stores. When users search something like “play casino for real money,” they see a WebView application uploaded by the affiliate, who earns a commission for each player making a deposit via the app.

In this regard, ASO is very similar to SEO, only you work with apps instead of websites. ASO's success lies in continuously adjusting various elements, such as descriptions, images, and titles, to align with store algorithms and user queries.

Why is ASO growing in popularity?

ASO is experiencing a surge in popularity, and Alfaleads has observed this trend for the past two years. Advertisers who were previously unfamiliar with ASO traffic are now seeing satisfying results after testing and are actively seeking additional volumes. In my view, ASO effectively amalgamates the best attributes of SEO and app promotion. It offers quality traffic akin to what SEO delivers, mainly because it targets highly relevant users. Additionally, it borrows certain elements from app promotion, ensuring remarkable retention rates, since users see the app on their smartphone screens daily and receive push notifications.

Here's a valuable tip: don't overlook the significance of activating push notifications. According to statistics, they can boost your profit by 10–15%.

What are the advantages of ASO?

One of the key advantages of ASO traffic is its quality and popularity. ASO attracts users who actively seek mobile applications, making them highly motivated. This aspect is particularly appealing to advertisers, leading them to offer payout rates that are, on average, 5–30% higher compared to other traffic types. It's a fantastic feeling when you get, for instance, two $200 deposits without spending a single dollar on additional user motivation.

Is it possible to switch to ASO without prior experience?

Certainly, it's possible, although one would need at least some background in affiliate marketing. If you have previous experience in SEO, that's ideal, and if you've worked in other verticals, that's also advantageous. At Alfaleads, we welcome individuals from various backgrounds.

Our managers will guide you on creating an application or where to acquire one, and help you choose the most suitable promotion model. We offer a range of ASO-specific offers, including optimized landing pages and other elements. Here are some examples:

Copagol – 8234

GEO – Brazil

Payout rate – 30 EUR

5Gringos – 8175

GEO – Australia, Canada, France, Italy, New Zealand, Switzerland

Payout rate – up to 220 EUR

Sportaza – 8177

GEO – Australia, Canada, France, Greece, Italy, New Zealand, Switzerland

Payout rate – up to 220 EUR

AmunRa – 8179

GEO – Australia, Canada, France, Italy, New Zealand, Switzerland

Payout rate – up to 220 EUR

YoJu – 8232

GEO – Brazil

Payout rate – 40 EUR

To access these offers, simply reach out to our support team, and they will assist you in getting started.

What is the ASO entry point?

The entry threshold for ASO can vary significantly depending on the GEO. In many European countries with favorable rates and payouts, advertisers are willing to invest generously in quality traffic.

You can expect to spend around $300 to $500 for a Google Play application. Then, promoting the app with incentivized installs, reviews, and ratings may require an additional budget of $200 to $300. With a total investment of approximately $1,000, you can start receiving quality traffic.

On the other hand, iOS has a considerably higher entry cost. Developing an iOS app alone can cost around $1,000, but this investment is often justified. The user base on iOS tends to be more financially solvent, resulting in higher rates and a more engaged audience.

If you have an option to develop your own app, you can explore working with the App Store. However, if app development is not within your means, starting with Google Play is a viable option.

About the disadvantages of ASO

Let's discuss some drawbacks of ASO. As mentioned earlier, one of the downsides of ASO is its cost. Acquiring and customizing applications can be quite expensive unless you possess the skills to develop them yourself.

Another disadvantage is the need to rely on software developed by third-party and often untested developers. There's no guarantee of their work quality and honesty. Some developers sell apps to many customers, and if any of those apps get banned for any reason, Google might identify the similarity in the code and ban all applications from that developer.

The third issue that ASO affiliates may encounter is sweeping bans. It's a kind of natural disaster that can't be helped. In the event of a mass ban, you could potentially lose a significant portion of your app portfolio. However, diversification can be a saving grace in such situations.

A tip to mitigate these risks: order applications from different developers, which can help safeguard against mass bans. You can find skilled and cost-effective programmers on platforms like Upwork or Fiverr.

What tools will be useful for those who work with ASO?

There are quite a lot of them, I will give an example of three that I am familiar with myself:

  • Data.Ai (formerly App Annie) – this platform allows you to classify and analyze applications, conduct comparative analyses, and study your competitors. It's a valuable tool for understanding the overall market landscape and tracking essential metrics.
Cost:

  • Free (limited features)
  • Premium subscription – its cost should be specified individually, contact the support team to find out
  • Sensor Tower – another helpful service that aids in optimizing your app for both App Store and Google Play. It provides the capability to monitor promotional campaigns. You can begin with a free version that allows you to check your app's profile, its store rankings, and reviews.
Cost:

  • Free, trial period (limited features)
  • From $79 per month


  • Asodesk – an all-in-one platform for working with mobile products, providing everything you need for high-quality app optimization on the App Store and Google Play. It's worth noting that the website is available in several languages.
Cost:

  • Free (limited features)
  • From $79 per month (there are many tariff plans)
In addition to these, other services like ASOMobile, APP RADAR, Apptweak, Checkaso, and more, can provide valuable insights into app keyword usage for generating organic traffic and the search volume for specific queries. You can choose the one that best suits your needs and preferences.

Conclusion

If you have prior experience in affiliate marketing, I strongly encourage you to explore ASO as a valuable traffic source. For beginners, I recommend starting with Google Play for a more accessible entry point.

If you have any questions about working with ASO or wish to embark on your journey with Alfaleads, feel free to register on our official website and contact our Customer Care Team. Our dedicated managers will be happy to assist you.
