WHAT THEY SAID
"I can now most comfortably say that the Virgin Games affiliate program is the most impressive, rewarding and profitable I have ever worked with, and one could scour the earth and never find a better brand to work with than Virgin.
In a world (gaming) of extremely mixed reports, Virgin Games takes out the guesswork, minimizes risks, delivers outstanding results, and hooks you up with one of the world's most impressive and respected brands and success stories.
The program works, the code is easy to set up, administer and fine tune, and the audience has the opportunity to enjoy some of the world's best online games in a secure and friendly environment.
Virgin continues to set the standard in customer service, value for money, profitable business, and keeping things fun."

"When I was first approached by Virgin Affiliates to consider promoting them on
Topboss Group portals
I was initially skeptical in view of the software – Wagerworks being relatively unknown.
I decided to pop a few banners and text links up here and there to see if my players were interested.
I was pleasantly surprised as I discovered that I recognized the gaming software from land casinos
and of course my players discovered this too because I have had a number of players sign up and play
– despite very little exposure.
I have found all of my dealings with Pierrick Leveque – The Affiliate Manager – an absolute pleasure.
Whenever I have had to send him an email I have received a response literally within minutes.
It is unusual to find an Affiliate Manager of his calibre and I only wish there were more of him out there!
Even when the site was down for maintenance – he continually kept his affiliates
informed of potential delays and estimated completion dates.
He even went the extra mile to access my stats for me during the down time.
True to his word though – the site was up and running as soon as he said it would be.
I also have to add a word about the developers as they did a remarkable job with the improvements on the site –
It was very user friendly in terms of navigation, loaded extremely fast and in general was just what
I was looking for in terms of an affiliate site.
The next most important factor to myself and I am pretty sure – other affiliates too –
is the payment side of things. Let’s face it – at the end of the day that’s why we are in this business!
I wasn’t disappointed here either – my payment arrived on time on the date it was supposed to arrive.
To put it all in a nutshell – Virgin Affiliate program is probably one of the best all rounder affiliate sites
that I have come across and in view of this I plan to increase their exposure substantially
as they have gained my trust . Well Done to all involved and Keep it up!!"

"At Bingobase.com, we owe it to our members to promote only the well-established, respectful and trustworthy online bingo brands in the business. Whether it be bingo or casino that we promote, every brand or operator must meet an extensive set of criterion before we even consider listing them on our portals. We’ve been an affiliate of the Virgin Games affiliate program since they first launched their websites and we’ve had a successful and profitable partnership ever since.
We are all aware of the huge costs of acquiring new customers in this competitive market and we all want to make sure that our valuable traffic goes to operators who know how to maximise the profits. It’s extremely important for us to know that the casino operator will be able to retain these customers with ongoing CRM and promotional activities. In this respect, Virgin Games is one of the most successful ones in the market today.
Virgin Games have a wide variety of games for different level of players. They also offer exciting promotions, generous bonuses and even more opportunities to deposit with its links to other Virgin companies. We are delighted to be a part of this hugely successful establishment."
Raj R., Director of The Bingobase Network, including Freebingo.net.
"The trusted Virgin Brand makes all the difference in converting regular traffic into real depositing players as conversions are greater than most online bingo sites and is a top seller for the online UK Bingo market to date."

"We are a new affiliate of Virgin Games, a decision prompted by several compelling factors. At this juncture we are fortunate enough to be considered one of the leading affiliates in the online gambling industry with a full roster of clients, so first of all we really need to see unique high-quality products in order to undertake the promotion of a new brand. The quality of Virgin's online casino, poker, and bingo offerings is the initial reason why we want to direct our traffic there.
It doesn't matter how much name recognition there is if the final product the customer sees is disappointing, but Virgin Games are designed and operated to a standard of excellence that would be apparent to an end-user regardless of the familiarity of the brand.
The additional fact that Virgin is a global company that is trusted and very well respected by the average first-time visitor is obviously important to us as well. While other gaming websites need to convince visitors that they are reputable and a going concern Virgin already stands for that, and it is a truism that a gambling site visitor who feels safe and secure is one who will become a loyal and repeat depositor.
That ability to retain customers is the third and final key factor that cements our desire to work together with Virgin Games. Affiliates have their own network of communication, and we all know rapidly which programmes are worth working with and which ones need to be avoided. The feedback for Virgin Games is glowing, and it all comes down to the way they administer their business.
We know that the Virgin gaming patrons are treated fairly as are the affiliates who sent them in the first place. Virgin Games is, therefore, able to retain their players and nothing makes an affiliate happier.
As we enter into this partnership with Virgin Games we are completely confident that it will be mutually profitable, and it all comes down to knowing who you're dealing with - when you ally with the best you can expect the best results."

"The team at Online Casino Suite is very excited to be working with the Virgin brand of gaming web sites. Virgin Casino is the first online casino powered by Wagerworks software that we have reviewed on our site. The casino game software is quite impressive because Wagerworks is actually operated by IGT, one of the world's largest manufacturers of real slot machines for the top casinos in Las Vegas. We are planning on listing Virgin Casino prominently on the UK online casinos area of our site due to their incredible brand recognition and loyalty in the region."
Ryan O., webmaster, http://onlinecasinosuite.com/.
"As one of the first affiliates of Virgin Casino, I have seen both the casino and the affiliate program grow during 2006 and as a result am very happy to report seeing some strong sign-ups coming through. It's not too surprising when you consider that the Virgin brand name is very well known and the affiliate side is in the hands of someone with considerable experience in the sector.
Virgin casino has also chosen well in using Wagerworks software as it's underlying games platform. While this precludes players from the USA, the software is probably the closest to real Vegas games that you will find online. This is in no small part to Wagerworks being owned by IGT who manufacture a plethora of games that can be found on the Vegas "strip".
I have been promoting Virgin on my sites for several months now and am seeing a good response, in particular from UK based players.
I'm also pleased to report that Virgin Affiliates are among the first to pay affiliate commissions each month and have a policy of not carrying over negatives (always a big plus with affiliates) although I am also very aware that the casino, and the way they look after their players, is a significant factor in deciding the success of the affiliate program.
That's why I feel very comfortable promoting Virgin casino. I like to know that the players will be treated well - it keeps everyone happy - and of course in the world of online casinos this is a major consideration when sorting out the good casinos from the not so good.
If you are an affiliate with traffic from outside of the USA, I have no hesitation in recommending Virgin Affiliates and Virgin casino as a team with whom you can forge a very rewarding relationship."
