Which Are the Best Sportsbook Affiliate Programs for Those in the US for 2025?
You see the advertisements splashed everywhere. The commercials appear during nearly every game.
DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM and, here in Florida, Hard Rock Bet advertises like crazy.
For sports betting affiliates and would be affiliates, the real money to be made is still with the offshore sportsbooks.
These are licensed overseas, primarily in Antigua and Curacao. They still cater to US sports gamblers but are prohibited from offering an app (sites are browser-based on your mobile phone or laptop) and cannot advertise directly to those in the States. In other words, should you get the bright idea as an affiliate to plaster signs all over your favorite bar, that won't go over well with local regulators.
Top Programs
These are in no particular order but are among the creme de la creme as far as we here at Gambling911.com are concerned. We recommend joining all of them to get more bang for your buck. Sports bettors tend not to stick with just one site. This means that you can get players betting at multiple websites. It's possible (likely) your visitors, friends or family are already playing at one of these as well.
Commission Kings
This is the affiliate network behind the BetOnline.ag, WildCasino.ag, SportsBetting.ag, SuperSlots.ag, HighRollerCasino.ag, PaydayCasino.ag and TigerGaming.com brands.
BetOnline is one of the largest but best converting, though there is a good chance gamblers from the U.S. may already be playing there.
BetOnline offers the sickest selection of betting options, everything from sports betting props to elections to entertainment and world events. One only needs to read the Gambling911.com website regularly to find all the latest prop offerings. It's fair to say BetOnline took the most bets on the 2024 US elections of any other website online. Polymarket got all the attention but they do not take bets from those in the U.S., BetOnline does.
SportsBetting.ag is among the oldest online sportsbooks (established in 1997, two years before BetOnline).
They pay anywhere from 10% to 45% based on how many depositing players you send them (the amount of deposits).
Net revenue will be calculated as, all gross monies from wagers in sportsbook, casino, and racebook as addition to rake accumulated from poker, less any chargebacks, money paid to customers as winnings, bonuses paid to customers (which includes other payments to players such as free bets, re-activation bonus etc) and deposit fees incurred to service your players.
Negative figures generated will be carried over to the following month; however the affiliate team will be willing to look at this on an individual basis, and where need be we will discuss an alternate for you if you are hit by a big negative because of an individual player’s action.
CPA Commissions
If you have the players and are ready to commit to a minimum number of players per month then you can opt to take part in our CPA commissions. Our CPA deals on a case-by-case basis, please contact us for further information. Should you wish to work under CPA you will need to contact support after applying to join Commission Kings and show a history of previous players you have referred and their profitability.
RevMasters
This is the affiiliate program for BetUS, another huge converter. We've had folks who've never placed a bet before open an account using their credit card and took less than 10 minutes.
They claim to have one of the highest sales retention teams, and we believe it.
If you haven't checked out the BetUS TV YouTube channel, you need to. They feature some of the top handicappers and former athletes offering betting previews. Michael Vick is the face of BetUS at the moment.
Commissions are 20% to 35% with CPA options also available.

Do ask for our long time friend Priscilla and let her know Gambling911.com sent you.
Bovada Affiliate Program
One of the problems with Bovada is that a large chunk of sports bettors already play here. That's not a bad problem for Bovada to have.
If you got in early with them, consider yourself lucky. We have friends who live exclusively off this affiliate program.
Bovada, however, now restricts a lot of U.S. state access. It's still better than trying to work as an affiliate in the U.S. regulated space where everyone is fighting over two sites all the gamblers are already playing with: FanDuel and DraftKings.
- Revenue share up to 45%.
- Reliable, Regular commission Payments.
- Unlimited earning potential.
Keep in mind that Bovada also owns the popular Ignition Casino, which is another high converter.
A Word About U.S. Regulated Affiliate Programs
Unless you are a Catena Media, Gambling.com Group or Better Collective, it's really difficult to crack the U.S. sports betting affiliate market. We knows individuals who are regretting severing ties with offshore companies to chase after that next shiny object.
FanDuel and DraftKings advertise all over the place. In local markets like New Jersey and New York, the radio stations, newspapers and television networks are the biggest affiliates. Do you really want to compete with them?
Somes states, like New Jersey, require affiliates to obtain a license and pay a fee.
It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't frown upon their regulated sites banners appearing alongside offshore sportsbooks.
Can't we all just get along?
