Big Bang Ads — affiliate network: rating and member reviews

Big Bang Ads is a lead generation advertiser running its own single opt-in sweepstakes and funnel offers. The site dates the business to 2001 and splits it into two entities, one for Europe and one for Asia Pacific, with sweepstakes in more than twenty countries and B2C funnel leads in energy and insurance.

Affiliates apply for an account, which is reviewed within 72 hours at most, and can run the offers with their own creatives or with the prelanders and advertising material the company supplies. Incentivised, SMS, co-registration and brand-bidding search traffic are forbidden and can cost an affiliate the account; other non-incent sources are open to testing.

Leads are validated within 72 hours, commissions sit in the affiliate account until the minimum threshold is reached, and payment is made by SEPA or SWIFT bank transfer on the first working day after validation, in euros from the European entity and in dollars from the APAC one. The geo lists published cover Germany, Italy, France, Spain, the United Kingdom, Poland, Sweden, Belgium, Portugal and Austria in Europe, and Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand and South Africa in the APAC entity.
