From time to time, I audit a sampling of the online gambling sites that are listed at The Online Casino Gambling Directory. I do this to see for myself how easy or difficult the process is for signing up, downloading, grabbing a bonus, playing, making a deposit and (hopefully) making a withdrawal. I also test customer support using all the channels that the site may offer — email, live chat, and/or phone support in some cases. The result of my experience is the major contributing factor in the star rating that is assigned to the sites at The Online Casino Gambling Directory.

Another way that I ensure that an online gambling site is on the level is through my experience with the site’s affiliate program. An affiliate program allows a person to earn income from referring players to the site. If the affiliate program is run honestly, smoothly, and effectively, you can be pretty sure that underlying online gambling that they are promoting is legit.

OddsMaker.com ‘s affiliate program is ReferIncome. ReferIncome owed me over $400 for referring players to OddsMaker.com from January 2007 – October 2008.

Update: I’m pleased to report that I’ve been paid!
