Do I get paid for just placing a casino advertisement on my website?
No, Affiliates earn commissions on the revenue generated by players they refer. Just having banners on your website does not guarantee that your visitors will click on the banners, download the casino, sign up and deposit money. Webmasters need to promote their own websites to attract players.

Can MainStreetAffiliates.com websites be promoted from any forum or message board?
A: MainStreetAffiliates.com will not accept unauthorized traffic directed or redirected to us by any message boards or forums. Any unauthorized traffic coming from any of these two types of sources will be redirected to another location automatically.
Can all marketing tactics and techniques be used to advertise and send players to MainStreetAffiliates.com sites?
No, Main Street Affiliates will not allow any traffic that is generated from any “ad ware,” “spy ware,” or “scum ware” programs or methods. These include, among others, Cydoor, Claria and WhenU. Any affiliate that is caught using these techniques will be banned from all MainStreetAffiliates.com revenue programs, and his revenues will be equally split amongst current partners. If an affiliate adopts any one of these methods, we will be obliged to freeze his revenues and permanently ban him from the program. If deemed necessary, we may also take legal action against him. Please note that we have sophisticated means to trace traffic coming to our site from any of these platforms. If you are aware of or possess evidence of such abuse, please do not hesitate to notify us.
Do you accept adult sites as affiliates?
The casinos that we serve are dedicated to preserving the respectable image that they have worked hard to develop. As such, they do not wish to be associated with any site that contains material of an adult (pornographic) nature.
Do you allow email marketing campaigns?
YES - however we have a ZERO tolerance spamming policy. If you have genuine opt-in customer lists and/or any type of email traffic you will be very successful at marketing our product, however we ask that you contact us first to ensure there are no 'misunderstandings' of what is allowed.
Is it possible for me to lose money in the casino?
The casino can lose money, but it is highly unlikely and might happen in the short run only. In any case, the casinos assume all liability. This is a risk free affiliate program for you. If the players you referred win, you will not be asked to pay us back. We will, however, deduct those winning amounts from your balance with us, but we will NOT ask you to pay us back. You can be sure, though, that the commission program is much more profitable than any other advertising programs in the long run.
How safe and secure is my information with the casino?
Our Casino software uses 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Digital Encryption to protect the details of your credit card transactions over the Internet. This is the Internet security standard for online transactions as demanded by major financial institutions.

Financials
What is "net gaming"?
Net gaming is defined as gross bets less payout (calculated using the client software), derived from any real transaction with a linking visitor in which revenue is paid or credited to the client, less: (i) charge backs and discretionary returns; (ii) sign up bonuses; and (iii) promotional bonuses.
How and when do I get paid?
We pay our webmasters on the 15th of every month. Depending on the amount due that month, we either send a bank draft, NETeller payment or wire transfer the money to you.
Is there a minimum amount for my check to be cut?
Of course! US$50.00 is the minimum amount. Affiliates with a lower revenue balance will have their balance roll over until they meet the minimum amount for payment.
Can I find out how much I have earned already?
Yes, you can find out at any time exactly how many new players you have delivered, how much has been deposited and wagered by these players.
What happens if I have negative commission at the end of the month?
If the players you referred win and you have negative commissions at the end of the month, this will not be carried over to the following month. Any negative balances will be set to zero to start each month.
Can I get my commission paid into my casino account?
Yes, Main Street Affiliates can transfer commissions into your casino player account. Please contact [email protected] with your casino account number.
I see that new REAL accounts were created, but no money there for me. How come?
In this case, players you referred made a download of our casino and opened REAL accounts, but at the time the stats were updated, they had not wagered yet or hadn't lost any amount. Be patient and log on to check your stats at a later time.
Why are there a lot of new accounts, but net gaming shows zero?
The number of new accounts is the number of people who has downloaded and registered an account. This does not mean that they have deposited money yet, or that they ever will. A number of people who register choose to only play for free.
