BETEGY is a football site which offers precise, statistical football predictions, betting tips, game reviews, football news and profitable money-making portfolios all in one place. NETELLER recently had the opportunity to talk with BETEGY at the LAC conference to learn how they use NETELLER to secure new business income, and how their members use NETELLER to play online. Keep reading to learn some great affiliate secrets from one of the latest football tipping sites to join our program.

What sets your football site apart from other football sites?
BETEGY is a service focused specifically on providing football betting tips for the major European leagues. We represent the next generation of betting content by approaching predictions not through the old-school tipster’s method, but by running a genius algorithm that is system driven. BETEGY clearly distinguishes itself from the other tips/predictions websites which use traders for their content, because all the data is analysed objectively and there is no place for human emotion or error.

What will NETELLER members gain by going to your site?
By coming to BETEGY and following our predictions, your members will soon discover that they are now betting wiser. Our numbers talk for themselves: the ROI for the month of February was 251% on selected picks.

What advantages do you see for sports players using NETELLER over other deposit options?
NETELLER is the product most used by passionate gambling people. The name speaks for itself and it says speed, reliability and excellence. Our users prefer NETELLER over other payment methods as they receive a brilliant and FREE NET+ prepaid MasterCard®, as well as FREE money transfers between member accounts – not to mention their super VIP and loyalty programs.

What should someone new to your site, or new to online sports betting look for? What types of offers to you have?
At the moment, because we are putting a lot of care and attention towards the conversion of stats and data, BETEGY delivers 1×2, O/U (over/under) tips and general statistical predictions for the most popular European leagues: Premier League (England), La Liga (Spain), Bundesliga (Gemany), Ligue1 (France), SeriaA (Italy), Primeira Liga (Portugal), Eredivisie (Netherlands) and Champions League. Our stats also include:

Score predictions for each match

Probabilities of the amount of goals each team can score

Best odds and odds comparison from top bookmakers

Win/draw/loss probabilities represented in percentag

Selection of betting strategies

Soon we will supplement these with indications for accumulators, to help your clients boost their winnings faster and more consistently. Also, to ensure that users have access to a complete and objective information source, we’ve decided to list a "Stay Away" category with high-risk matches.

When and how did you start your affiliate business? What’s your story?
BETEGY launched a couple of months ago but already proves to be a very powerful betting tool for serious punters. Our audience is growing steadily every day, and our predictions become better and better. As a new affiliate, we were short-listed for the iGB Affiliate Awards. Our aim is to transform the betting tips industry using a scientific approach, cool designs, and an awesome user experience. Our team has a very strong background in the IT industry and with statistical analysis, and this project started with an internal prototype one year ago. We tested it out on Bundesliga and we were impressed with results. Next, we analyzed the market and realized the need for our service, which will be based only on hard data. So, we decided to create a site which will be the number one destination for statistical football predictions. Last summer we were joined by German investors, which supplied us with capital to kick-start the project. Actually, we launched the beta version of our site last September. Since then many things happened, and now we are a team of 8 people with dozens of users whom we help to bet wiser. We take it seriously and we constantly invest in new development, user experience, accuracy of statistical predictions and quality of data sources. On top of that, we pay a lot of attention to our social channels; most of our users come from our blog and from the Facebook and Twitter pages, so we do our best to keep them interactive and useful.

What is the most important factor for you in choosing an affiliate program to work with?
Although a new brand, BETEGY proves to have a lot of potential. We expect to become the number one prediction provider on the market so we want to work with the best affiliate programs. NETELLER is by far THE specialist program to work with, and we highly recommend it to every business which expects quality from its partners. We are very proud to work side-by-side with such professionals, and it is refreshing to know that each of us brings the most into the cooperation.

What prompted you to join NETELLER’s Affiliate Program and why is it important to your business?
NETELLER has definitely been one of the most qualitative and profitable affiliate programs in the payment industry and we are very happy to collaborate with them. For a few years now, NETELLER proved to be a reliable player in the iGaming industry and always deliver great results. It’s one of the biggest names in the financial sector, and one of the most influential companies with both a customer and business focus. They really know how to partner with an affiliate from all angles to not only help them earn revenue, but to assist with managing finances in our business too! With an award-winning team, they know the industry and focus on obtaining good results!

What should sports betting affiliates be careful of? What should they do to overcome said obstacles?
The sports betting industry is one of the most dynamic sectors of activity. It developed a lot over the previous years and until now it looks like there is no limit for innovation or growth. As a new affiliate we can tell that the competition is strong and fearless, but there is still a lot of space for growth. What can make you visible on the market is innovation. A good product will always be seen between the avalanches of a similar, but poorly built, creation. BETEGY came to market with a fresh perspective towards the betting industry, which proved to work. We wanted and succeeded in breaking the traditional approach towards betting, by providing the most precise and fully automated predictions algorithm, social integration and great user experience.

How long did it take for you to start benefiting from the NETELLER program?
We are still at the beginning of our collaboration with NETELLER, but the results to date are already financially promising. We have a strong belief that NETELLER will bring a surplus value to our service and we are confident to work in this partnership. They also pay a lifetime revenue share, which is unique in the payment industry, and we want to partner with businesses that will be behind us over the long term. (We aren’t in it for the short haul!)

How have you found working with the NETELLER Affiliate team? What traits do you look for in an affiliate manager?
NETELLER’s affiliate managers are some of the most professional, well prepared and responsive people we have worked with until now. The correspondence is excellent, as well as the solutions they find for every individual problem. Jennifer Ming and Lee-Ann Johnstone were of great help in everything related to our commercial collaboration. They have very good ideas and they work very hard to accomplish their goals and deliver results.

What advice can you offer people who are just starting up in the industry, and who many not have thought about the benefit of using an eWallet affiliate program to supplement their affiliate income?
Having an eWallet is a must for every affiliate website. It speeds up the payment process, and it makes your users happier to lose less time with filling forms on multiple sites and, therefore, focus on what is really important – your product. The fact that you can earn money from implementing an eWallet information page on your website is still not common knowledge for new affiliate start-ups. By implementing it in an early stage of your business and site development process, this affiliate program will boost your revenue over the lifetime of your player’s transactions; it’s really a win –win situation all around!

If you could select some "keys to being a successful affiliate" what would they be and why?

Find your own niche. It would be very difficult to start a successful affiliate website if you create the same product which is delivered better and faster by already well-known companies in the industry.

Innovate. Come up with a new product, or a new way of using a product. What’s new and good always attracts an audience.

Be social. Attract as many users as possible and keep them engaged. Develop your product in such a way so that it can become a centre of interest for users and their friends, something that they can relate with and spend time with.

Be professional. This is the main key of success. Keep a professional relationship with all the business clients and you will receive the same amount of consideration.

Participate to networking events. It is crucial to develop a good relationship with your affiliate managers, as this will influence the rhythm of your collaboration. Conferences and networking parties are a great place to do business, as well as to find new business.

Find ways to build your revenue streams long term. NETELLER has helped us to do this in our initial launch phase.

Any final words of advice?

All the businesses which decided to run on the affiliate model can find in NETELLER, not only a profitable commercial program, but also a reliable and resourceful business partner. The way to succeed is to surround yourself with successful people, and NETELLER is a must-have companion for any affiliate site!
