Cocoa Casino Review

[CK]

Hey holis

Here is what I would do..or things I think your missing

- Does the casino accept US players? (Yes) I know you have the icon but I would also include a sentance at the end of your first paragraph..sometimes people forget to really look at the whole page, this way you have it covered if they didnt notice the image.

- Include bonus clearing requirements. We know most players will never clear the bonus, but I do think it's important for them to know prior to signing up.

- Progressive jackpots - (Cocoa Casino does have progressives now..I think they were the first rival casino who had a player hit one back in January)

- I would probably explain what the iSlots are and why they are so unique.

It looks nice though Holis

Kaus brought up some great points. One that I would like to add is that the review doesnt seem very opionated. For example:

"Customer support at Cocoa Casino is slightly above average."

Why?

Cocoa Casino Review

Dear Holis,

My team has been handling custom casino content including detailed reviews for various big clients. We have written thoroughly researched reviews on all these casinos you have on your home page.

Based on my experience, here are a few of my suggestions :

1) Small bulleted summary at the top mentioning the outstanding points about the casino in question. For example : No Deposit Bonus, Sign Up bonus, Live Support, No Download version, Refer a Friend Bonus, Number of Progressive Jackpots or the value of progressive jackpots, Loyalty program and bonuses, Multiple language support etc..

An attractive bullet list here can entice the visitor to that casino review to read the entire review below or even download the casino immediately without reading the review.

2) Bonuses and Promotions - Instead of it written as a paragraph, I would prefer to have each bonus and promotion given its due credit on a separate line with each promotion marked in bold to attract the attention.

Also, we prefer to write about what needs to be done to clear the bonus and what are the terms etc.. Most of the players do not read the fine print of the terms and conditions on the casino sites and might end up feeling a bit short changed if they do not get what they signed up for.

This includes giving the wagering requirements for clearing the bonuses, whether the bonus is cashable or not, time limit for availing the bonus after making the deposit, which games are eligible and which are not etc etc..

This is sure to generate a trust in the eyes of your visitor and he will tag your site for visiting frequently for reviews.

3) Banking - For all our clients for our casino reveiws, I always suggest and prefer adding information not just about the deposit options but also about the withdrawal options ( they are the most important according to me).

Also the cashout requirements

4) Do mention the minimum deposit amount, that surely helps sometimes.

5) High Roller Bonuses and VIP Programs - Find out if the casino offers some exclusive offers for high value players and highlight them. Some players might only be looking for VIP treatment and these bonuses can make them deposit the maximum to start with.

6) Optional - Personal experience of the casino - I have seen some big casino sites do that. If you are a casino player yourself, maybe you can ask your affiliate manager to give you a balance to try out the casino or you can also deposit your own money to do that and get a first hand experience of the casino, support, various games and the software performance. You can write about your experience and winnings and loosing ( less of it ) at the casino in question. This is sure to make the visitor to your site read through it.....( Everyone likes to read stories and see movies on how some one cracked a jackpot or ....).
You can put a link to the story from the review and a link to the review of the casino from your story.

They might need the review but end up reading all the stories of your adventures at the casinos and might not be able to fight the urge to try out the casinos, even if with a minimum deposit.

Few of the points I could come up with at this moment...too tired currently and recovering from a sickness..

But do download or sign up at the casino you are reviewing, it will help you write better and trustworthy reviews.

We generally do a lot of comprehensive reviews ranging from 1500 to 2500 words per casino, and I have to admit that it takes us atleast a day or more to write them up..

Can keep on writing on this subject, but some of the tips are secrets we share with our clients and do no want them to get angry at me..

I have been following you since PAW and know you are one of the most senior most affiliates here. I hope I was able to add something helpful here.

Not been in affiliating full time till now, but thinking of getting on to my first full fledged projects now..in suspension for past few months due to some unavoidable issues and lack of time.

But thanks for Jeremy for starting CAL, I might just be lured into this and hope to get help from your experience in that..

All the best.

I've purchased a lot of sites using similar layouts. In my experience a sites like this lose the interest of a lot of impulse type visitors.

The banners with table type sections across body like that are fine, looks good on a lot of sites. I'd always though opt to put that down one level and have some sort of text intro leading into it.

The body might be too wide to make it look nice, and still keep it short so thinking perhaps something like this.

Add a top section with two columns.

On left side 2 paragraphs selling sites:
In middle of the two have a clear text link with call to action (blue always gets more clicks than any other styled link - so even though it might not always look pretty on all schemes one blue link works).

On right side maybe a box or unordered list of top selling features.

Then what you have now perhaps condense it as the next section below. By condense I mean get rid of a lot of the which space between those buttons on bottom and table above it, and then use a banner that matches the height.

Then leave rest the same.
