hi

just looking for your thoughts on this site www.5star-casinos.net
Could it make you any money on the side, anyone tried anything like it before,
or is it just a waste of time and money.

thanks

Isn't it just a reseller casino site? Ie... you set up your own casino using their infrastructure and you make money?

In theory... yes you can make money... in reality people stick with the big names like 888 etc.

As Rico says, stick with the big names. Many of them have affiliate schemes.

I resisted for a long time but you will see Poker adverts on PH as the dosh is there to be had. You need to generate significant traffic though to make anything worth having.

thanks to both of you, think i'll stay well clear.
Only asked because seen it in a business paper i picked up.
Also seen this site www.postalandcourier.com, any good, anyone know
much about the courier business.
At the minute im really just looking for a stepping stone, still only 18, had quite a few
business ideas, one main idea that i really whant to have a go at, but first i would like to try
and get some good money under my belt from hard work so i can try and start up a business.
Have been tempted by loans to start a business but seen a few people get in a right mess with them.
Have thought about the courier business before, but never took it anywhere.

any help/advice would be great

thanks

If you want to play at making money online, have a look at some of the affiliate schemes. It's all zero risk stuff but can be quite fun trying to make a buck.

www.ukaffiliates.com
www.tradedoubler.com etc.

A certain betting site pay loads of money if people sign up.

One well know betting website pays $200 in referal fees for each newbie signing up with $50. The refering website then give the user $50 back out of the rebate, and $150 for website.

That way every user can bet $50 for nothing, and the users got a better service on a nice server with the profits

The online gaming business is fascinating...and extremely lucrative. My company is involved in this quite heavily, and with the right gaming parter, and correct channel to acquire customers you can easily achieve a very nice 6 figure income.

However as Ted said - stick with the big names...

Perhaps I should talk to you - I'm certainly not achieving that!

Ted,

The revenues you can get depend on a bunch of metrics...uniques per month, customer acquisition incentives, ongoing customer incentives, range and type of games available, CRM activity, and of course revenue share.

By all means PM me, and if you are able to disclose details, I'll tell you what you might be able to achieve...(normal health warning apply)

Cheers
