We have experienced Anyoption both as affiliates and traders over the last 8 to 9 months and we can honestly say that Anyoption certainly is one of the best binary options brokers that you can promote as a binary options affiliate. Their product is without doubt the best in the market and from our experience dealing with Anyoption as a binary options trader we would have to say that their support and retention are top notch too.
What then is the best way to promote Anyoption as an affiliate ? Its certainly a very valid question as there are a number of affiliate programs which will let you promote this binary broker. In this article we are going to take a look at the different options and compare the different aspects of each program.
1.0 Commision Structure
Anyoption affiliate program
On the one hand we have Anyoption’s inhouse affiliate program which offers both revenue share and CPA deals for traffic. Below you can see the current affiliate deals that Anyoption is offering (taken from their website)
| Revenue Share | |
| Total Revenue | Commission |
| 0 – 10,000 | 20% |
| 10,001 – 50,000 | 25% |
| 50,001 – 100,000 | 30% |
| 100,001 + | 35% |
| Cost per Acquisition | |
| No. of Customers | Commission |
| 0 – 50 | $100 |
| 51 – 150 | $125 |
| 151 – 200 | $150 |
| 201 – 300 | $200 |
| 301 + | $250 |
| Super Affiliate | |
| Revenue Share (on top of affiliate’s commission) | 2.5% |
As you can tell from the table above Anyoption offers a base rate of $100 CPA going up to $250 if you send 301 players or more in a calendar month, alternatively you can choose to take a revenue share deal which starts at 20% and goes up to 35% of revenue when generating more then $100,000 in monthly revenue. For those of you that are able to bring affiliates you will notice that Anyoption pays 2.5% of what your subaffiliate will make.
Binary Affiliates
Binary Affiliates.com was the first dedicated binary options affiliate program in the market and have since gone on to create the world’s first multibrand affiliate program. Binary Affiliates offers CPA deals according to the following structure (taken from their website)
- Cost per acquisition (CPA) $125 per every new depositor
- The CPA for every player and every affiliate will be automatically increased when monthly targets are met. The more traders we send overall the higher everyones CPA will be.
Although not offering revenue share deals at this stage Binary Affiliates does in our opinion offer the best CPA deals for those of you like ourselves that prefer earning on a CPA basis. Their base CPA is $25 higher then with Anyoption and with their unique CPA profit sharing formula you can end up earning a lot more per player even if you only send 1. If you are able to deliver 301 players a month and prefer CPA then yes it would possibly be better to promote straight through Anyoption. However if you like most of us do not generate 300 players a month then it Binary Affiliates.com would be the best way to go.
It must also be noted that if you are looking to bring Subaffiliates and earn from them that Binary Affiliates will offer you up to 20% of what your subaffiliates generate on top of your regular commisions which is much better then what Anyoption offers.
2.0 Affiliate Software and Features
Anyoption runs on an affiliate solution called Netrefer whilst Binary Affiliates uses inhouse software which has been developed by experienced programmers and affiliates. This has resulted in two entirely different programs and below you can see what we found to be the biggest differences between the two.
Real Time Statistics
- Anyoption does not offer realtime statistics
- Binary Affiliates offers real time statistics
Multiple Tracking codes
- Creating multiple tracking codes using the Binary Affiliates software is easy and can be done just by adding text or number to the end of any tracking code. This makes it possible to easily identify and track unlimited amounts of campaigns.
- Creating multiple tracking codes in Anyoptions affiliate program is a complex and time consuming task
When it comes to user friendliness there really is no comparison as well and the affiliate program offered by Binary Affiliates.com is just so much easier to use then that offered by Anyoption.
Marketing Tools
Both affiliate programs offer a wide variety of banners and other media. However Binary Affiliates allows you to create custom landing pages that can be tracked using their dynamic realtime tracking system.
Earning Reports
Extensive earning reports are available in both programs.
3.0 Payment methods
Both Anyoption and Binary Affiliates.com pay once per month via paypal or bankwire. We have received ontime payments from each of these binary options affiliate programs.
4.0 Service and Support
When it comes to service and support both of these affiliate programs excel. This is not something we say lightly but we have been dealing with both these companies for nearly a year and even longer with some of the people behind both these affiliate programs and we have received nothing but great support and service from all the people we have dealt with so far.
5.0 Our conclusion
Looking at both these programs from an affiliate point of view it becomes clear that in important areas such as payments methods, support, service and marketing tools there is little or no difference between the two programs. In fact we have seldom dealt with such professional operations in over 10 years of being an affiliate ourselves and it has been a pleasure dealing with each of these.
However, (and its a fairly big however in our opinion) the fact that Anyoption does not offer real time stats in combination with the fact that the Binary Affiliates.com solution is so much more flexible and userfriendly in our eyes does tip the balance in favor of promoting Anyoption through Binary Affiliates.com.
The fact that they also pay higher base CPA’s and share their profits with all their affiliates really does mean (in our opinion) that if you are looking to promote Anyoption that you should do so through Binary Affiliates.com
