What is an affiliate program?
An affiliate program is an advertising program that offers monetary rewards to people/companies who drive customers to the merchant’s own website via the placement of advertising banners, links in website or emails content, PPC campaigns, social media pages, etc.
The affiliate is then paid commissions on the revenue generated from that referred traffic. What, how and when the affiliate gets paid is dependent on the agreement entered into with the affiliate program in question.
For more on what, when & how Giant Affiliates pays out, please see the corresponding FAQ section below.

What Does It Cost To Join?
There is no cost to join our affiliate program. You are also free to cancel with us at any time you wish. However, with the revenue we generate, this does not happen very often.
I Don’t Have A Web Site Yet, Can I Apply?
Absolutely! With the huge growth of social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & Pinterest etc. we encourage our affiliates to utilise these platforms and place links where it is strategic to do so.
The only medium that we DO NOT allow our service to be promoted via is spam or any other illegal or immoral means.
What Is My Responsibility As An Affiliate?
You may set up as many banners/links/advertisements etc. as you like to direct traffic to the Giantlottos.com website in the way that suits your own website/blog/profile page etc.
Affiliates that generate the most revenue are invariably the ones that are the most proactive in their approach, and ensure that they are aware of the latest lottery promotions.

How do I track players from different channels/websites?
You may want to differentiate your links based on where you have placed them. If you want to track links you’ve placed in a widget on your website you can create a channel just for this link placement.
First create and name a new channel in your Giant Affiliate control panel (Promotions >> Add Channel). A channel and it’s corresponding “channel code” will be generated, then simply add &chan=”channel code” to the end of the tracking url.
Now you’ll be able to view how a specific link placement is performing relative to the same link placed in other places.
