Question 1

Who is AffilFinder for?

Accepted Answer

AffilFinder is for publishers and site owners who serve region-restricted content—e.g. iGaming, finance, e‑commerce, or media. If you geo-block visitors outside your service area, AffilFinder lets you show them a sponsored offer instead of a dead end, and you earn per click.

Question 2

How do I get paid?

Accepted Answer

You get paid per click. When a blocked visitor clicks through the overlay to an advertiser’s offer, that click is logged and forwarded to the affiliate URL. Payout terms are set per offer; the dashboard gives you full visibility on events and clicks.

Question 3

What counts as blocked traffic?

Accepted Answer

Blocked traffic is any visitor who falls outside the geo rules you set (allowlist or blocklist by country or region). Our system resolves their location via IP (or a dev override). If they’re outside your allowed area, they see the offer overlay; if they’re in area, they see your normal page.

Question 4

Do I need to change my backend?

Accepted Answer

No. You add one script tag to your site and configure your geo rules in the AffilFinder dashboard. The script calls our API to decide whether to show the overlay and which offer to display. No server-side changes required.

Question 5

Is it compliant with regional rules?

Accepted Answer

You stay in control. You define which countries or regions are in or out of scope, and you choose which offers to allow. AffilFinder is built so you can align with geo and compliance requirements for your vertical (e.g. iGaming, finance).

Question 6

Who is AffilFinder for as an advertiser?

Accepted Answer

Advertisers who want to reach visitors that are blocked on publisher sites—e.g. users who landed on a geo-restricted page and can’t access it. You list your site as a sponsored offer and choose the regions where you want to appear, so you get targeted exposure and qualified clicks.

Question 7

How does targeting work?

Accepted Answer

You choose the countries or regions where your offer should be shown. When a visitor on a publisher’s site is detected as blocked (outside that site’s service area), our system selects eligible offers—yours can be one of them. You only reach that intent-rich, blocked traffic.

Question 8

What do I pay?

Accepted Answer

You pay per click (or as agreed). Clicks to your site are tracked and reported; you get full visibility on impressions and clicks by region and publisher. No spend on the wrong audience.

Question 9

Which verticals can I reach?

Accepted Answer

iGaming, finance, enterprise, e‑commerce, media, and more. Any publisher using AffilFinder with geo-blocked traffic can show your offer to their blocked visitors, so you can align with the verticals that match your brand.

Question 10

How do I list my offer?

Accepted Answer

Add your website as a sponsored offer in the dashboard, set your landing URL and creative, and choose the regions where you want to appear. Once approved, you’re eligible to be shown to blocked visitors on relevant publisher sites. Request a demo for early access.
