How to Shine like a Football Star with Sports Betting Campaigns in 2022
ā¢Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Affiliates always win ā thatās what Gary Lineker would probably tell you if he was an affiliate marketer and knew how to take advantage of sports betting campaigns during the most important part of the season for all European clubs.
If youāre a football (or soccer to all American) fan, you know weāre witnessing something special every spring.
Remember how all four finalists in two major UEFA clubs competitions have come from one nation? Chelsea was going to face their hometown foes from Arsenal in the final game of the UEFA Europa League. A couple of days later, Tottenham was to encounter Liverpool in the last game of the UEFA Champions League that season. And what a time it was for all affiliate marketers out thereā¦
Football is coming home, one could have said.
What do UEFA finals mean for affiliate marketers?
Each year the Champions League Final is aired in more than 200 countries. According to the UEFA it is the most-watched annual sporting event in the world. With 380 million viewers worldwide, it leaves the Super Bowl far behind.
Even though the UEFA Europa League is not as popular and prestigious as its bigger brother, thanks to its widely recognized finalists itās definitely not a secondary football trophy. Names like Arsenal and Chelsea, as well as Liverpool and Tottenham or Sevilla FC, are amongst the top 10 of the most valuable football brands, with enormous fan bases all over the world.
You know what it means for affiliate marketing business, donāt you? Yes, youāre right. An opportunity. An Impressive and profitable one with a huge stake and a great number of competitors, dreaming to get a piece of it for themselves.

Welcome to the Profitable World of Bookmaking
When affiliate marketing meets football, one vertical stands out from the rest. Itās sports betting.
Knowing the current finalists of Champions League and Europa League, you will probably appreciate that gambling on sports events has an almost century-long tradition in all of Europe.
When it comes to online betting ā you will like it too ā thereās no such popular discipline amongst European punters as football.
The report presented by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission states that the amount of all online sports bets made (less the value of all winnings) from October 2016 to September 2017 was Ā£786 million. Itās nearly 40% of all online bets for the mentioned period of time.
Itās not a secret that the Premier League, Champions League and Europa League games are on the top of sports events chosen by European gamblers.
This chart shows Champions League betting soar up into the sky just before the most important game of the season for European club football. Bearing in mind 2017ās finals were yet to happen, we may assume that it was only going to get bigger with time.
