Affstore — affiliate network: rating and member reviews

Affstore is the official affiliate program for a group of trading brands. Instead of joining each broker separately, you get one account with several brands (IQ Option, Exnova and SabioTrade among them), one dashboard and one payout. It's aimed at affiliates with finance traffic who want high rates and broker offers in many GEOs.

Before anything else: the products behind these brands include binary and digital options, which are banned or restricted for retail clients in many countries; in the EU, selling binary options to retail clients has been prohibited since 2018. If you promote them, the legal responsibility for your GEOs is yours.

What Affstore offers

• Direct offers from several brokers under one program, with different GEOs for each brand.
• RevShare up to 80% of broker revenue from referred clients, for the lifetime of the client according to the program.
• CPA with custom rates by brand and GEO; the program has advertised figures up to $1,000 and up to $2,000, and its home page highlighted $120.
• RevShare and CPA in one account, so you can split traffic between models.
• 15% from second-tier referrals, the affiliates you bring in.
• Promo materials: banners, videos and landing pages, plus real-time statistics.
• Contests and a leaderboard with prizes for top affiliates, and multilingual support.

Payouts

The original review listed WebMoney, Neteller, Skrill, wire transfer, Perfect Money, AdvCash, Bitcoin, USDT and USDC as payout methods. It also described payouts as daily, while the program's facts table said twice a month. Confirm the schedule, the minimum and any hold on CPA before you send traffic.

The complaints

Affstore's reputation is mixed. On Trustpilot it scored 2.6 out of 5 at the time of the original review. Positive reviews praise high-converting brands, generous commissions and good promo materials. Negative reviews describe:

• delayed payments or commissions withheld;
• unresponsive or unhelpful support when a problem comes up.

Online reviews are subjective, and a program with many affiliates collects complaints. But payment complaints are the ones that matter most in affiliate marketing, and they appear repeatedly here.

How to test it without getting burned

1. Check the law for each GEO. Options and CFD offers are heavily regulated; in some countries they can't be marketed to retail clients at all.
2. Read the terms. Especially CPA qualification (deposit size, trading activity), holds and what counts as fraud.
3. Get your rates in writing from a manager, per brand and GEO.
4. Start small on RevShare or limited CPA volume, and scale only after the first payouts arrive on time.
5. Document everything, in case a commission is disputed later.
6. Be honest with your audience: trading carries a high risk of losing money, and your content should say so.

Who it's for

Experienced finance affiliates who already run compliant traffic in GEOs where these products are legal, and who can absorb the risk of payout disputes. Beginners, and anyone targeting the EU, should look elsewhere.
