STYLE in Kazakhstan

The iconic meetup, which has already conquered St. Petersburg and Moscow, is now heading to Kazakhstan, in the city of Almaty. Fresh mountain air, unique culture, and talented people – style is in the air here. It's the perfect location for the fifth anniversary event. Moreover, this time, STYLE will also be the official middle party of KINZA 360

Let’s remind ourselves why arbitrageurs love STYLE:

🔹 Networking with industry TOPs
🔹 A special friendly atmosphere
🔹 400+ guests
🔹 Diverse affiliate community
🔹 Rich program: entertainment, shows, DJ sets, raffles
🔹 Free bar, buffet, hookahs
🔹 Style in everything: from the decor to the music and the choice of location

This is just a small part of what Nikita Kremov's meetup is famous for. But the main thing, of course, is networking, communication, new acquaintances, reunions with old friends, and that spark that appears between people in moments of interaction. New ideas, projects, and connections are born at STYLE. STYLE is business, and business is life.

When: August 25
Where: Kazakhstan, Almaty

🎁 Types of online casino bonuses 🎰

For arbitrageurs working in the iGaming vertical, it’s crucial to understand the principles of online casinos. Bonus mechanics play a huge role as they both attract new users and retain and engage old ones. By their use, you can determine how well a casino works with its players, but you need to know its inner workings.

But first: what are bonuses? Bonuses are perks that a casino gives out to its players. They can be represented by money, points or free spins (games), and are designed to stimulate users. Bonuses can be vaguely divided into two types: deposit and non-deposit. The first are given for depositing money to a player's account, and the second do not require spending on the player’s part.

Let’s take a look at the main types of online casino bonuses.

📝 Signup bonus
An extremely popular mechanic, the signup bonus is given out — surprise, surprise — after registering with the casino. This bonus serves two purposes at once: firstly, it encourages players to share their personal data so that they can be contacted, and secondly, it encourages them to start playing and spending their bonus.

Bonuses for filling out data, confirming email, and downloading the application can also be lowkey sorted into this category. In all of these cases, the bonus is given in exchange for information and/or facilitating communication with the player.

💰 Deposit bonus
The point of this bonus is to encourage the player to deposit their money. Depending on how much the user has deposited, they are usually given a percentage of that amount on top; less often, a certain amount of free spins. The deposit bonus is an all-time favorite with most casinos, because it’s directly tied to them getting money.

Generally, casinos give bonuses for most deposits, but the first deposit bonus often trumps bonuses for subsequent deposits. But there is one exception to this rule.

♻️ Reload bonus
Also known as a reload, this bonus targets players who haven't deposited or visited the casino in a while. Reloads are time-limited and give the user perks for returning — usually in the form of a boosted deposit bonus or good old free spins.

The reload bonus is also often used as a reward for regular players. In such cases, it is given for regular deposits and visits to the casino website, which, again, encourages players to return as often as possible.

📉 Cashback bonus
It sounds counter-intuitive, but it works like a charm. Casinos don't benefit from losing players, and users can leave the site for good after having a bad day — and that's exactly what cashback bonuses prevent. After a loss, the player receives a small cashback or free spins to make up for the loss.

Cashback is often tied to the activity of the player, as losing regulars is far worse for a casino than losing passerby players. The more often the user plays in a given casino, the higher percentage of cashback they get after losing.

✨ Highroller bonus
Users who play big are every casino’s favorites. Those who bet big or deposit a lot of money enjoy special privileges: casinos have dedicated VIP managers and VIP programs designed specifically for highrollers, aiming to encourage them to keep playing.

Highrollers often receive particularly delicious deposit bonuses, as well as free deposits, free spins, and other benefits like fast withdrawals and personal managers in addition to bonuses.

Whether you play at casinos or work with them as an arbitrageur, FlexCard will make your life and work easier. Order a virtual card via this link and in just two minutes, you’ll be able to pay for online services, ads, and tools in various regions and currencies — and enjoy the benefits with FlexCard! 💚

📊 How to choose a vertical as an arbitrageur? 🤔

Most arbitrageurs specialize in one or more verticals — but what are they and how do you figure out which suits you? A vertical is a set of offers related by products or services they’re promoting. The choice largely depends on what you’re comfortable working with. First, let's go through a list of the most common verticals.

The most popular verticals are:
Adult — 18+ services and products;
Betting — online bets (sports, cybersports, etc.);
BS/SP — subscription-based services, gyms, online courses;
Binary Options — you know what these are;
Biz Ops — making money on the Internet, online jobs;
Crypto — cryptocurrencies, mining, crypto trading;
Dating & Adult Dating — comes in two flavors, innocent and less innocent;
E-Commerce — clothes, toys, general merchandise that doesn’t fall into other categories;
Education — courses, student works;
Entertainment — music, videos, movies;
Finance — brokers, microloans, mortgages;
Gambling — online casinos;
Gaming — video games, mobile games;
Nutra — health and beauty products, dietary supplements, etc.;
Travel — tours, hotels, tickets;
Esotericism — amulets, fortune-telling, tarot, esoteric info-courses.

In addition to your personal willingness or unwillingness to work with certain products and services, it’s important to realize that some of them are more difficult to promote. Some verticals are completely legal, while others are in the gray zone or banned altogether, and these restrictions can be both on the part of states and online platforms.

For example, Facebook doesn’t really work with adult and adult dating, binary options, crypto, gambling, and nutra. These restrictions can be bypassed if you choose the right GEO and select a semi-appropriate offer and approach, but still, there will be difficulties — and each platform has its own requirements for you to tackle.

Many states have restrictions or bans on:
Adult & Adult Dating
Betting
Binary Options
Crypto
Gambling
Nutra

Each vertical has its own specifics to study: GEO, target audience, viable approaches, offers, and more. But to choose one, ask yourself what you're willing to work with — and what challenges you're prepared to deal with. Over time, you'll learn all the ins and outs of your verticals, and then, you’ll need to diversify.

Regardless of your vertical, FlexCard will help you pay for ads, tools, and services all over the world. Pick a niche, choose your new virtual card on our website — and enjoy all the benefits with FlexCard! 💚

PWA apps in traffic arbitrage

Android & iOS apps for traffic arbitrage constantly encounter new issues: stores introduce restrictions, ban apps, give users uncalled-for “unreliable source” warnings.... Long story short, they do everything to ruin an arbitrageur’s day.

That’s why the rise of PWA applications is far from surprising. Being the most popular in the iGaming vertical, they perform well in other verticals, too, and more and more arbitrageurs and affiliate programs prefer to work with them. But why?

What are PWA apps?
A PWA app is just an ordinary website in a trenchcoat pretending to be an app. To the user, it looks like an app; in reality, it is a web page that opens separately from the browser to create a believable illusion of an actual mobile application.

To avoid further suspicion, an exact replica of the App Store or Play Market is required for the PWA app download. This way, a user will be none the wiser.

Pros & cons, but mostly pros
There are many reasons to use PWA-apps for traffic arbitrage: this approach has significant advantages over classic apps and pre-landing–landing strategy, and its disadvantages pale in comparison. Let’s quickly go over them.

Pros
+ Push notifications
+ Full customization
+ All traffic sources available
+ SEO optimization available
+ No moderation (such as creative restrictions, app bans, etc.)
+ No manual updates required
+ Small size and instant installation
+ Unlimited existence with minimal effort

Cons
- Need to buy and configure a Safe Page and a Black Page
- No access to UAC and In-App traffic
- Slightly worse conversion in comparison to classic apps

As you can see, PWA apps have a huge list of advantages with a very modest list of issues, which contributes tremendously to their rising popularity.

How to make a good PWA app?
The answer to this question consists of two parts. You need to understand the general requirements for a successful app — and also know where to get it from. But first things first.

A PWA app should be:
▸ Adaptive — it works on any device and browser, with any additional accessories (keyboard, stylus, etc.);
▸ Autonomous — it’s not affected by browser settings and can work offline;
▸ Functional — it can be easily installed, doesn’t stutter, requests access to the necessary functions;
▸ Optimized — it’s fully searchable, has an up-to-date code base, and is configured for convenient use.

Where to get a PWA app:
▸ Develop from scratch — by yourself or a freelancer, this method requires either coding skills or investments;
▸ Buy or rent — you can always search for a ready-made PWA app from suppliers;
▸ Build in a constructor — even without coding skills, you can create your own app in a special service;
▸ Request from your affiliate program — some APs provide their clients with PWA apps. For one, our friends from Traffic Light and Ace Partners not only create any apps on request for free, but also promptly replace them in case of issues. Hats off to them!

Due to the constant tightening of requirements and rules in stores, PWA apps are rapidly gaining popularity among arbitrageurs. Due to their ease of use and wide range of advantages, they are destined to grow even bigger, and we recommend you consider them, especially if you work with the iGaming vertical.

With FlexCard, you’ll be able to quickly and easily pay for not only the purchase of PWA apps, but everything you need as an arbitrageur, from work tools to ad campaigns. Choose your new virtual card here — and enjoy the benefits with FlexCard! 💚

How to choose a profitable offer

Everyone always talks about how to find and test a working approach, but a quality offer? Not so much. This is rather weird, because every arbitrageur wants to pin down the best offers and milk them dry. That's what we're going to talk about today.

Of course, in traffic arbitrage, a lot depends on the arbitrageur’s skills, but it’s also extremely difficult to save a bad offer with a good approach. It’s crucial to distinguish between an offer that will make you a lot richer next month and an offer that will just waste your time, money and nerves, with you barely breaking even in the end.

Fortunately, it's pretty simple — just watch out for these five factors:

1. The offer’s appeal
As cliché as it may sound, first of all look at the offer itself: ideally, it should be unusual or at least brand new. From an original casino design or a new form factor in nutra to being time-adequate (not selling snow in the winter), you should consider all these aspects. Also, make sure the landing page is both fancy and loads quickly; otherwise, even your amazing pre-landing won’t save the day.

2. Support and call center
Call center and support service for the offer should work perfectly 24/7. A potential customer won't wait until Monday if they don't get through on the weekend: they will close the tab and forget about your product or service. The same goes for operator availability in general. The best way to ensure this won’t be an issue is is to call the support yourself at different times and see if they’re available.

3. Client-side terms
You’re not the only one seeking convenience and benefits. A client who’s lured in by a glowing 90% discount sign will immediately leave if the checkout page then claims the discount applies to 10+ item orders. Payment terms are another thing to keep an eye out for: for instance, few people will actually go through with the purchase if they’re asked for a prepayment. It’s the Internet, and trust isn’t that common here.

4. Data, data, & data
A lot, and we mean a lot in traffic arbitrage ultimately relies on information and numbers. On the one hand, make sure the statistics are updated in a timely manner, otherwise you’ll be blindly spamming push notifications at clients whose order status didn’t get updated, pissing them off. On the other hand, it is always worth split-testing the offers in order to immediately drop those that do not work.

5. Affiliate program
Last but not least, useful thing you should work with a trusted affiliate program. A good CPA provides you with offers with attractive conditions and doesn’t undercut you, pocketing your hard-earned income. Moreover, after some time of your fruitful collaboration has passed, your manager will begin bringing the most profitable offers your way unprompted, which is always handy.

If everything on this list checks out, it’s likely a decent offer, and you should test it. We’ll help you with that, too: with FlexCard’s virtual cards, you can pay for ads and tools around the world in an instant on the best conditions.
