Affiliate Marketing FAQ: About the Income Access Affiliate Program
Read our affiliate marketing FAQ to get answers to the most frequently asked questions about affiliate marketing and the Income Access Affiliate Network.
An affiliate program is a type partnership between an online merchant and a website owner where the online merchant compensates the website owner for any revenue generated through the merchant's links on their website. As an affiliate you are paid a commission every time a customer referred through your website and generates revenue for the merchant. It's that easy!
An affiliate is an independent website that promotes a merchant's products or services. Income Access affiliates earn a commission every time a referred player generates revenue for one of our online gaming merchants.
A merchant/operator is any website that sells a product or service, accepts payments and fulfils orders. In the case of Income Access, our merchants are reputable online casinos and poker websites.
As an Income Access affiliate, you are entitled to additional commissions when you recruit affiliates for Income Access merchants. You will earn a percentage of the commissions paid to the website (sub-affiliates) that you recruit.
Income Access is a growing network for gaming affiliates and gaming operators. We facilitate mutually beneficial relationships that help our affiliates and merchants earn money. Affiliates can sign up and use one user name and password for multiple affiliate programs. Income Access is a trusted third party providing gaming merchants and affiliates with reliable and accurate tracking and the flexible technology that they need to be successful.
Income Access affiliates send traffic to our merchant website. When this traffic generates revenue for our merchants, the affiliate earns a commission.
Income Access affiliates can promote a suite of top online gaming properties. Because Income Access merchants are independent from one another, you are able to promote multiple software platforms through the Income Access affiliate network. Our merchants run on a range of gaming software platforms.

In accordance with the recent "CAN-SPAM Act of 2003" legislation, Income Access strictly prohibits affiliates from sending unsolicited mass emails or spam, whether via email, Usenet or any other form.
Any affiliate using spamming techniques for soliciting referrals will be in automatic breach of our affiliate agreement and will be immediately terminated and legally pursued for any resulting damages.
To become an Income Access affiliate, all you need is a website and an email address. Then you need to follow our easy, two-step registration process:

No. Whether you have one website, or 100 sites, you only need to apply once to the Income Access affiliate program.
You can easily track multiple websites under one login. Our affiliate management area enables you to create a unique code for each of your websites. This makes it easy for you to view separate traffic, referral and earnings stats for each site.
We accept the majority of websites that are submitted to the Income Access affiliate program. However, each of our merchants has its own criteria outlining what kinds of website content they consider acceptable and unacceptable for their program.
Each link that connects your Web site to one of our merchants contains a unique tracking code. This code tracks impressions, clicks and records required data such as registrations, purchases made and play activity by your referred customers at the merchant's site. This activity is recorded in our database and is viewable in your affiliate account.
To get your tracking code you must first sign up to an individual merchant's affiliate program. Once your application is approved you can log into Income Access and go to the "Marketing Tools" section.
Your tracking code is provided directly from this section in HTML format. This code will be inserted automatically into the HTML for any marketing tools - such as banners, buttons and text links - that you wish to use. Simply copy and paste the code for the marketing tool your wish to use and paste it into the HTML of your Web site.
Remember - it's important to test all tracking codes that you add to your website by clicking on them and verifying that this click is registered in your affiliate account.
You can easily create unique codes for each of your websites or campaigns in our affiliate management area.
Log into your account and go to "My Account".
Click on "Affiliate Sites" in the left hand navigation.
Enter your websites or campaign information in the form.
We will assign your campaign or website a unique code. All your unique codes can be viewed in the grid on the top of the page.
To add this code to a marketing tool (banner, text link, etc.), go to "Marketing Tools" and use the drop-down menu that lists all your campaigns to choose which campaign or website will carry your link.
Then choose your marketing tool in the next drop-down menu. Your unique campaign code will automatically be inserted into the tool's HTML.

You can change your account information any time in our management area. Simply log into your account and click on "My Account". Make your changes in the form and click "Submit".
By logging into our reporting interface area, you can monitor your daily traffic, earnings and referrals. Our "Reports" section enables you to generate detailed summaries of all your affiliate campaigns or view a quick summary of your account's overall activity.
Log into your Income Access affiliate account and select "Reports". On the reports menu you will find a Payment Report. The Payment Report is a statement summary of commissions earned and bonuses issued during a specified date range for a specific merchant. If the total commission earned does not meet the payment threshold for the merchant then the commissions will be rolled over. If the threshold has been made the payment becomes due to be paid.
You will be paid on a monthly basis by each individual merchant in the Income Access Network once you reach the minimum payment threshold for the merchant. This payment minimum generally ranges between $20 and $100. Our merchants offer a range of payment methods, including check, bank draft or Neteller.
Each Income Access merchant has its own monthly payment schedule, payment minimum and payment methods. To find out the specifics about each of our merchants, visit our Merchants section.
