## Geo coverage
- [All countries](https://affilfinder.com/geo): Index of regulatory contexts by country.
- [United States (US)](https://affilfinder.com/geo/united-states): State-level licensing creates a patchwork of blocked traffic for iGaming, sports betting, and finance. Federal-level KYC adds friction for cross-border offers.
- [United Kingdom (GB)](https://affilfinder.com/geo/united-kingdom): UKGC licensing ringfences gambling traffic; FCA rules constrain how high-risk financial offers can be promoted. Significant blocked traffic on regulated and restricted properties.
- [Germany (DE)](https://affilfinder.com/geo/germany): GlüStV 2021 created a strict federal iGaming framework. Many EU operators are blocked, generating high-intent gaming traffic looking for licensed alternatives.
- [Canada (CA)](https://affilfinder.com/geo/canada): Province-level regulation (notably Ontario's iGO) drives cross-province blocked traffic and steady demand for licensed alternatives.
- [Australia (AU)](https://affilfinder.com/geo/australia): Interactive Gambling Act prohibits most online casino traffic; sports wagering is licensed at the state level. Strong blocked-traffic flows in iGaming and crypto.
- [Brazil (BR)](https://affilfinder.com/geo/brazil): Lei nº 14.790/2023 introduced fixed-odds betting licensing. Pre-license operators and cross-border iGaming generate significant blocked traffic.
- [Spain (ES)](https://affilfinder.com/geo/spain): DGOJ enforces a strict whitelist; Real Decreto restricts ad creative and bonus mechanics. Non-Spanish operators see consistent blocked traffic from .es visitors.
- [Japan (JP)](https://affilfinder.com/geo/japan): Online casino remains illegal under criminal code; only specific public-sports betting is permitted. International iGaming and crypto flows show heavy blocked traffic.

## Glossary terms
- [Geo-blocking](https://affilfinder.com/docs/glossary#geo-blocking): Restricting access to a website, page, or feature based on a visitor’s detected country or region. Common in iGaming, finance, streaming, and any product subject to territorial licensing.
- [Geo-gating](https://affilfinder.com/docs/glossary#geo-gating): Showing or hiding content based on the visitor’s region — the broader category that includes geo-blocking. AffilFinder geo-gates a sponsored offer overlay so only out-of-area visitors see it.
- [Blocked traffic](https://affilfinder.com/docs/glossary#blocked-traffic): Visitors who land on a publisher’s site but cannot access the requested content because they’re outside the licensed service area. Without monetization this traffic is wasted; with AffilFinder it generates pay-per-click revenue.
- [Decline overlay](https://affilfinder.com/docs/glossary#decline-overlay): The widget shown to a blocked visitor in place of a static “not available” page. The overlay surfaces a relevant sponsored offer and links the visitor through to the advertiser.
- [KYC decline](https://affilfinder.com/docs/glossary#kyc-decline): When a visitor fails Know-Your-Customer verification (age, identity, residency) and is rejected by the publisher. AffilFinder treats KYC declines as monetizable blocked traffic.
- [Pay per click (PPC)](https://affilfinder.com/docs/glossary#ppc): A pricing model where publishers earn revenue every time a visitor clicks through to an advertiser. AffilFinder publishers are paid per click forwarded from the decline overlay.
- [Cost per acquisition (CPA)](https://affilfinder.com/docs/glossary#cpa): Advertisers pay only when a referred visitor completes a target action (signup, deposit, purchase). Often combined with PPC on AffilFinder via custom advertiser offers.
- [Revenue share (RevShare)](https://affilfinder.com/docs/glossary#revshare): Advertisers pay a percentage of revenue earned from referred visitors over time. Common in iGaming and finance affiliate programs.
- [Allowlist](https://affilfinder.com/docs/glossary#allowlist): The list of countries or regions where a publisher’s product is available. Visitors from allowlisted regions see the normal page; everyone else sees the AffilFinder overlay.
- [Blocklist](https://affilfinder.com/docs/glossary#blocklist): The inverse of an allowlist — countries or regions explicitly disallowed. Useful when most regions are open and only a small set is blocked.
- [Geo-detection](https://affilfinder.com/docs/glossary#geo-detection): Determining a visitor’s country (and optionally region) from their IP address and request signals. AffilFinder resolves geo at the edge for low-latency decisions.
- [Widget](https://affilfinder.com/docs/glossary#widget): AffilFinder’s embeddable script and UI surface. Drop one async script tag on any page and AffilFinder handles geo detection, offer matching, and click tracking.
- [Advertiser allowlist](https://affilfinder.com/docs/glossary#advertiser-allowlist): Publishers control exactly which advertisers (and individual offers) can render through their AffilFinder widget. Brand and compliance stay in the publisher’s hands.
- [Offer](https://affilfinder.com/docs/glossary#offer): An advertiser-defined campaign with creatives, geo targeting, payout model, and a destination URL. Eligible offers are matched to blocked visitors and shown in the overlay.
- [Event pipeline](https://affilfinder.com/docs/glossary#event-pipeline): AffilFinder logs four lifecycle events per visitor — blocked, served, impression, click — feeding analytics, billing reconciliation, and advertiser reporting.
