What is CPA Deal?

A CPA (cost per acquisition) deal pays an affiliate a fixed sum for each player who signs up and meets a qualifying condition — usually a first deposit above a threshold, sometimes a minimum amount wagered. Figures range from $25 in high-volume markets to $600 for hard-to-reach ones. The incentive is different from revenue share, and it shows. CPA pays once, at the moment of deposit, so what happens to you afterwards costs the affiliate nothing. Sites monetised this way have no financial reason to care whether withdrawals get paid, and every reason to optimise the page for signups. Many deals are hybrid: a smaller CPA plus a smaller revenue share. When a review site publishes an affiliate disclosure, the useful detail is not that it earns commission — nearly all of them do — but whether it is paid once or for as long as you stay.
