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!

Where to Get an Uncapped Offer?
At Betmen Affiliates, we aim for long-term and mutually beneficial cooperation. All you need to do is bring in quality traffic, and in return, we’ll purchase all your traffic volume. Register on the Betmen Affiliates website to kickstart a productive, successful collaboration.

Now firmly established as an annual celebration of excellence, the awards continue to recognise the companies setting new standards for quality and innovation across the iGaming industry.

Spotlighting the Best Game Providers of 2026

Casino Awards Return for a Fourth Year

Since their debut in 2023, the Slotsoo Casino Awards have celebrated the operators raising the standard for online casino experiences.

Recognition That Goes Beyond Popularity

Unlike many industry awards, the Slotsoo Awards are not decided by public voting. Winners are selected by the Slotsoo team after evaluating casino operators and game providers throughout the year. Each nominee is assessed on factors such as player value and innovation.

This approach ensures that both established industry leaders and ambitious newcomers have an equal opportunity to be recognised. Whether it’s a casino redefining loyalty rewards or a game studio introducing fresh mechanics, the awards highlight companies that genuinely move the industry forward.

Other News from Slotsoo.com This Summer

The Slotsoo Awards weren’t the only milestone for the company this summer. In June, the team attended the HIPTHER Baltics & Nordics Gaming Conference in Tallinn, connecting with industry professionals, exploring the latest developments in iGaming, and returning home with plenty of inspiration.

July marked the publication of Slotsoo’s first book, The Casino Player’s ABC, written by Markus Björk, Head of Content. This tongue-in-cheek ABC book for adults takes a humorous look at the ups and downs in slot gaming. Markus Björk comments:

“The awards and the book may seem like very different projects, but they share the same goal. Both are about celebrating what makes this industry unique and helping players navigate it with a sense of humour.”

With another successful awards season, the publication of their first book, and an active presence at industry events, 2026 has been one of Slotsoo’s busiest and most exciting years to date.
