LIKED
On the positive side, the conversion rate from registration to first deposit is quite solid. With properly targeted traffic, users move through the funnel actively, complete registration, and make a deposit.
DISLIKED
I strongly advise against working with Stars Partners without carefully reviewing every clause of their terms and conditions.
Their affiliate terms clearly state that, in order to receive a CPA payment, you must generate at least 10 qualified FTDs within a 30-day period. If you bring in only 9, 8, or fewer players, no CPA commission is paid, and the results are not carried over to the next period.
In other words, you can spend your own money on advertising, deliver real depositing players to the casino, and still receive €0 simply because you failed to meet the required threshold.
What makes this even more outrageous is when a manager offers a “test with no KPI,” while the program’s terms still impose a mandatory 10-FTD threshold. In reality, the KPI does exist, and it directly determines whether you get paid or whether your entire commission is cancelled.

Thank you for your detailed feedback and for your positive assessment of our registration-to-deposit conversion.
Regarding the concerns raised about the CPA model, we would like to provide an official clarification.
The condition referred to in the review is not hidden: it is explicitly set out in clause 6.6.1 of our Terms & Conditions — a minimum of ten (10) First Time Depositing Customers within a single campaign period of thirty (30) calendar days, with FTDs being non-cumulative and not carried over to subsequent campaign periods. The same clause states the consequences of not reaching this threshold. The general parameters of the CPA model are described in clause 6.6, and traffic quality criteria in clause 2.4.2.
These terms are public, available on the affiliate programme website prior to registration, and are accepted by the partner at the moment of submitting an application to create an account.
