Arbitrage Leads

What Arbitrage Leads is

Arbitrage Leads is a performance affiliate network focused on lending and lead generation. The company says it was established in Bulgaria in 2014 as a division of Bpa8 (Bulgaria) EOOD, while its website footer names Arbitrage Leads LLC and lists a US business address in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with a toll-free number. It says it has staff in seven countries, remote and in-house, and offers support in several languages. Co-founders Rao Abdulwahid and K. S. Kalon are named on the team page along with partnership and account management staff. The mix of a Bulgarian parent and a US LLC is worth noting: affiliates should confirm which entity they contract with and invoice.

Offers and verticals

Payday loans are the headline vertical, with the network promoting payouts of up to 90% on payday loan offers. That figure reads as a revenue share on the lead value and will only apply to selected offers and traffic. The network also runs pay-per-call offers, described as new branded property offers, through a separate call-tracking system called Arrowsol8 with its own sign-up, tracked numbers per campaign and call logs. Promoted channels include contextual, email, mobile, native, search and social. Offer lists, GEOs and caps are visible in the offer wall after approval, and individual offers are restricted by country.

Commission models and payouts

Offers in the affiliate portal carry their own payout type, either a fixed amount for CPA, CPL or CPC deals or a percentage for RevShare and CPS deals, and calls are paid on qualified conversions. Account balances are invoiced on weekly, bi-weekly or monthly cycles depending on the offer and account. Payouts go by ACH direct deposit for US bank accounts or international bank wire, with USD, EUR, GBP, CAD and AUD options, and a W-9 or W-8BEN tax form is required before payment. The network does not publish a minimum payout, so affiliates should confirm the threshold and their invoice cycle with the account manager.

The rewards program is unusually generous on paper: 2% monthly cash back on total revenue for affiliates above $2,500 a month, a 5% lifetime referral commission on referred publishers’ gross earnings, a $1,000 prepaid card for new publishers who reach $10,000 within 30 days of first traffic, and travel or grocery prizes for higher volumes. The prizes are subject to terms that are not published, so affiliates should get the conditions in writing.

Tracking, tools and platform

The affiliate network runs on an in-house portal with real-time stats, conversion reports, an offer wall with approval requests, tracking links and creatives per offer. Affiliates can set global or per-offer postbacks with GET or POST, which are reviewed before going live, and generate API keys to pull offers, tracking links, creatives, stats and conversions into their own tools. The platform includes fraud rules for click floods, duplicate IPs, geo mismatches and suspicious conversion times.

Traffic rules and compliance

Applicants declare their traffic sources, verticals, experience and monthly revenue, and accounts are activated only after manual approval. The portal applies automated fraud filters to incoming clicks and conversions. Payday and personal loan traffic is heavily regulated, and most ad platforms restrict lending ads, so media buyers should confirm allowed sources, state restrictions and email rules for each offer before launching.

Support and getting started

Affiliates register through the affiliate portal in four steps: account, company, experience and review. Publisher support is affiliates@arbitrageleads.net, with billing and tech addresses and phone support on weekdays, 9am to 6pm. Some pages spell the brand and the general email domain as Arbitage, so affiliates should use the publisher address.

Who it suits

Arbitrage Leads suits experienced lending and lead-gen affiliates, email marketers with compliant lists and call generators looking for revshare-style payday economics. Beginners, affiliates who need published payment terms and those outside finance should look elsewhere.
