Serious Note and Recommendations from Roman Manuylov, Alfaleads CEO:
If you choose to work with iGaming in Asia, mind strict regulations. Even if your creatives pass moderation, it doesn’t mean that users will convert eagerly.
Asian market is huge and fast-growing, therefore - affiliates will definitely enjoy a huge range of opportunities there.
To get the best possible results, you should do your research first and find out more about the cultural specifics of a targeted GEO, as well as vertical-related trends.
In addition to research, you can always ask your manager for help - most likely, they will help you choose the best offer for a chosen country.
All the reviewed GEOs, except for Brazil, belong to Tier-3. This means that traffic from these countries is affordable, but the payouts are not very high.
One of the main things you need to consider when working with Tier-3 GEOs is that the Internet connection might not be stable.
Therefore, we recommend avoiding “heavy” and large creatives, which is especially true for mobile traffic.
In-app and display ads also work great around all the emerging GEOs.
Final Word:
These GEOs are extremely fruitful for your affiliate marketing campaigns. They have tons of affordable traffic, strong economies, and high levels of Internet and mobile penetration.
Be careful with iGaming regulations and make sure to follow your offer requirements in this regard.

"With inflation and interest rates climbing fast and a possible recession on the horizon, the conditions are certainly there. The recent global pandemic has also pushed us into a work-from-home economy.
It’s a reasonably safe bet to say that [products that cater to the growing work-from-home segment and products that can help people generate extra income] will be successful in 2023"
