How gambling affiliate started for me…
It was a regular Wednesday night.
I had just finished watching another football match where, surprise, my bet didn’t land. Again. I wasn’t chasing money. I was chasing the feeling. The thrill. The tiny spark of hope that maybe, just maybe, this time would be different.
I had already switched to sports trading by then, but the gambler inside me was still alive. Still kicking. Still hungry. But I was fooling myself. Pretending that all my trading was strategic and rational, when in fact, I was gambling again—just dressed up a little better.
And then came Marius Wender—a friend, but more like a mentor that day.
He simply said:
“What if you used all this time, all this passion, all this football knowledge… and built something real?”
That hit me.
Fast forward to today, Football Trading Academy (FTA) exists because of that one conversation. And it’s built on something much healthier than placing bets. It’s built on sharing, transparency, and helping others turn their vice into value.
What Is a Gambling Affiliate?
A gambling affiliate is someone who promotes gambling-related products or services—like sportsbooks, exchanges, sports statistics, live streaming, or trading tools—and earns a commission when people sign up through their unique links. It’s a legit business model and one of the most common online monetization strategies.
Instead of losing money betting, you’re using your experience to educate or entertain, and in return, you get a cut when others join platforms you recommend.
Our Transparency as Gambling Affiliates
At FTA, we believe in Truth and Transparency.
Yes, we are affiliates for the following products:

Below is a screenshot of our total affiliate commissions over the past year.
Yes, we don’t even cover our website hosting. But that’s not why we do this.
We sponsor everything from our own sports trading profits.
Why?
Because we believe in the bigger mission.
Instead of losing money betting, you’re using your experience to educate or entertain, and in return, you get a cut when others join platforms you recommend.
Why You Should Consider Becoming a Gambling Affiliate
Here’s the truth—you don’t need to bet to be involved in the industry.
If you’ve been watching sports, analysing odds, or diving into betting strategies for years… why not share what you know?
Some ideas to start:
✅ Build a blog and write guides, reviews, and predictions
✅ Grow a social media page (funny football content works!)
✅ Start a YouTube channel documenting your journey
✅ Build an email list and share weekly insights
✅ Create free tools or spreadsheets and promote tools you trust
The best part?
You’re not selling lies or “get-rich-quick” systems.
You’re giving people value—and if they find it useful, they sign up using your link. Win-win.
You can advertise sportsbooks, exchanges, tools or websites for sports statistics, live streaming, trading tools, predictions services, you name it.
If you wish to join RebelBetting Affiliates, use this sub-affiliate link and we’ll get both a bonus.
Final Thoughts
Becoming a gambling affiliate won’t make you rich overnight.
But it can turn a destructive habit into a productive side hustle.
It did for me.
And with some passion, consistency, and the right mindset—it can work for you too.
💡 If you’re looking to build something meaningful, consider this your sign.
You already know sports.
You already know betting.
Now, use that to build, not bet.
