Smarkets relaunches affiliate program with Income Access

Founded in 2010 and licensed by the UK Gambling Commission, Smarkets offers a variety of trading opportunities where users set their own odds and bet against each other in a peer-to-peer setting, before and during an event. With an industry leading transaction fee of 2% of net winnings per market, players can wager on a variety of major sporting events, including horse-racing, football, tennis, baseball, cricket and more.

Niche markets, such as politics, television and entertainment, and current affairs, are also available at Smarkets. Historically, players have placed bets on various events including the winner of the UK General Election leadership debate and the 2012 winner of the American presidential race.

Players at Smarkets can enjoy a £10 welcome bonus allocated to any new player who has deposited a minimum of £20 with the brand.

Affiliates working with the brand will earn 25% of net revenue calculated based on the transaction fees, rather than wins and losses of players. Negative balances are therefore avoided, which results in consistent earnings for affiliates.

“We are proud of the Smarkets affiliate program and acknowledge the important role it has played in our unprecedented growth over the past two years,” said Smarkets CEO, Jason Trost. “Our team has worked exceptionally hard to challenge the industry status quo on price, product and experience. By selecting Income Access, we are looking forward to offering the same level of service to our customers throughout the busy 2016 calendar.”

The Smarkets affiliate program will be managed by a team of dedicated affiliate managers, in place to offer advice and guidance on how best to succeed with the Smarkets brand. A wide range of creatives will be made available to affiliates, each integrated with Income Access’ Ad Serving tool, which gives brands the ability to strategically target their campaigns.

“We are excited about the launch of the Smarkets program,” said Nicky Senyard, founder and CEO of Income Access. “With an interesting portfolio of betting options and low transaction fees, affiliates will certainly see positive results with the Smarkets affiliate program.”
