Binary Options in Affiliate Marketing

Who remembers the Financial Partners Expo that was held with the iGB Affiliate events? 

Remember the days when at iGB Affiliate conferences there was the Financial Partners Expo?

The first few years of them were not good at all. It contained some of the most aggressive affiliate managers I’ve met in my life. I’ve been physically grabbed by the wrist by an affiliate manager that was trying to pitch to me. Thankfully it was my left wrist because I prefer to punch with the right fist although I’m good with both. 

It never got to punches but I’ve never been treated like that in my life by any sales person. 

I’ve also had the unpleasant experience of sitting down eating lunch while someone interrupted my lunch to pitch me their binary options affiliate program. The only reason why I took their card was to write a note to say never do business with this person or company again.

It eventually got better where I remember one year, the affiliate managers for forex and binary options programs no longer were doing cold approaches. I remember hearing that they were warned not to do it because it was pissing off affiliates that were experiencing unpleasant encounters with aggressive affiliate managers. 

That said, binary options has changed quite a bit but it seems that the interest hasn’t faded.

Are Binary Options Legal?

I asked ChatGPT for a quick answer and this is what I got:

I know that Israel banned binary options in 2017 and since then, many prominent binary options trading sites have closed down. 

Finance Affiliate Programs

I am doing more research into finance affiliate programs because our customers of StatsDrone keep asking us for more integrations. This includes cryptocurrency affiliate programs, forex, trading, investing, affiliate networks and occasionally binary options.

I’ve done more research into binary options and looks like the segment is still alive and well. 

We are adding more binary options affiliate sites into our Affiliate Track tool to find all of these affiliates and also to identify all the current operators on the market.

As you can see, the interest in binary options has seemed to revive. I guess in a world where finance bros became a thing with trading becoming very normalized with easy access to apps. Crypto has exploded along with DeFi so options trading has just ridden that wave too.

Which Affiliate Programs Can You Trust?

I actually don’t know the real answer to this. We do have a sponsored list of binary options affiliate programs that want to be featured for finance affiliates. 

In our research, we can’t tell which affiliate sites are owned by any of the binary options operators and vice versa. Like anything in affiliate marketing, network with other affiliates and do your research before working with any program.
