Blockchain is revolutionizing affiliate marketing by introducing tamper-proof transparency to payout systems. In the gambling industry—where affiliate disputes, delayed commissions, and lack of reporting clarity are common—blockchain enables real-time tracking, smart contracts for automated payments, and immutable audit trails. This technology promises to restore trust between operators and affiliates, streamline compliance, and reduce fraud. As crypto-savvy platforms adopt decentralized systems, traditional affiliate models may face increasing pressure to evolve or lose relevance.
