Annual gathering offers expert learning with tangible insights to help affiliates growth hack their businesses

August 2017 – AffiliateFEST, the annual independent growth accelerator focused on educating affiliates and sharing insights on digital growth hacking, is hosting its third annual event on 10th October 2017 at London’s Hippodrome Casino in Leicester Square.

The goal of AffiliateFEST is to create a forum of intense learning that brings together iGaming affiliates and digital marketing experts to share tangible insights that help stimulate revenue growth. As the only purely educational event in the annual iGaming calendar, AffiliateFEST offers a personalised classroom environment.

The event is hosted by Lee-Ann Johnstone, CEO of Best Odds Marketing, who said that one of the core benefits is that the event is run under a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). “Generally, iGaming conferences can be a bit thin on providing real actionable content, competition is fierce and people are naturally guarded about giving away their knowledge. We run AffiliateFEST under strict NDA so everybody in attendance, can benefit from the real nuts and bolts insights that you would normally only learn about in a private 1:1 setting.”

AffiliateFEST will be a gathering of the best expert speakers from a variety of specialist digital and business management areas, including: Rob Thurner, Google Squared Lecturer & Founder of Burn The Sky; Judith Lewis, founder of DeCabbit Consultancy; Stephen Kenwright, Director of Search at Branded3, Ben Robinson from RB Capital and Sarah Sangster, Social Media Specialist at Sangster Digital.  More information about these and other speakers who will contribute and their respective topics are available to view.

In addition to hosting a collection of expert speakers, this event is also being held in collaboration with the following sponsors:

GoWild Gaming, who recently completed the successful migration of all their brands to their own iGaming platform, have once again collaborated with us to support this important event. Rutger Katz, Head of Acquisitions, said: “We are thrilled to support AffiliateFEST. We have seen the positive impact which previous AffiliateFEST accelerators have had on the bottom line of affiliates who participated and implemented the learnings. As the market becomes more competitive, it is imperative affiliates are on top of their game.”

Robert Miller, Managing Director of Buffalo Partners, said: “We are thrilled to be sponsoring AffiliateFEST for the third consecutive year as we’ve seen the value in how affiliate businesses grow after attendance. Investing in affiliate growth is key for our business and we will continue to support educational events that provide key learnings on the digital landscape around us.”

The fun extends into the evening with a network Cocktail Hour for delegates to continue business conversations and networking.

Affiliates who wish to attend this FREE accelerator must register for a place to avoid disappointment, as seats are limited.

Full details of the event can be found on the official website.

Virginia Lawmakers Debate Creating iGaming Agency

Published

on

virginia-lawmakers-debate-creating-igaming-agency

 

Virginia lawmakers are actively debating whether to establish a new regulatory agency to oversee iGaming. The joint subcommittee discussed a bill to create the Virginia Gaming Commission. It would manage all gambling verticals beyond the lottery.

Delegate Paul Krizek said: “The Virginia Gaming Commission is a step we need to preserve the good.”

Currently, the Virginia Lottery regulates sports betting and casinos, while other agencies manage charitable gaming and horse racing. Lawmakers also considered legalizing online casinos, including real-money platforms.

Delegate Marcus Simon introduced HB 2171 earlier this year. The bill aimed to authorize a real money online casino market under casino-lottery oversight. While the bill failed, Simon explained that the aim remains to curb illegal offshore platforms.

“My goal is to bring it under a regulated umbrella where we can have some oversight and supervision,” Simon said.

The subcommittee reviewed revenue projections estimating up to $5.3 billion in taxable income from online casinos over five years. The estimates included increased land-based casino revenue of 8.4%.

Experts raised concerns about real money online casino risks. Keith Whyte from Safer Gambling Strategies urged strong enforcement and safer gaming tools. Whyte noted: “Players could be encouraged… to take control through deposit limits, time limits, budget calculators, and personalized dashboards.”

Mental health advisor Brianne Doura-Schawohl backed up Whyte’s statement, warning that such products are dangerous without safeguards.

Former New Jersey regulator David Rebuck testified that iGaming complemented land-based casinos there. He pointed to New Jersey’s market, where online play boosted tourism and in-person casino revenue.

However, some Virginia legislators expressed skepticism, citing fears of cannibalization. They questioned whether online casinos might draw customers away from brick-and-mortar venues.

Industry experts countered that New Jersey and Michigan showed the opposite effect. Rebuck explained: “The evidence demonstrates iGaming expands the player base rather than cannibalizes physical casinos.”

Supporters argued that Virginia’s land-based operators could benefit from cross-promotion, loyalty programs, and expanded reach to players in rural areas.

The subcommittee must make recommendations by November 30, 2025. Officials expect the commission’s creation will precede legalization of online casinos. The Virginia lawmakers will review feasibility and revise HB 2171 before the 2026 legislative session.

wa.-technology-receives-gli-certification-in-brazil-for-casino-aggregator-product
Global iGaming solutions provider, WA. Technology has earned Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) certification in Brazil for its casino aggregator product as it looks to expand its presence in South America.

Certification for its standalone casino aggregator product allows WA Technology to increase its range of integrated iGaming content supplied to operators in the Brazilian market.

This ever-expanding catalogue of content includes tens of thousands of games, cementing it as a more trusted partner for operators seeking to thrive in this market, with the added assurance that it fully complies with Brazilian regulatory requirements.

Meeting the necessary requirements for the casino product builds on WA Technology’s strong record in the region, where it already has an established presence and certified platform, with an experienced team of professionals based out of an office in Recife. This gives the business a unique understanding of the players in the country and the team to simplify any complexities that may arise for operators.

By making the aggregator a standalone product, the team can provide content to operators who are not already on the WA Technology platform, joining the likes of F12 Bet, which already uses the full turnkey sportsbook, casino and player account management.

The certification follows on from recent launches such as its Pick’Em player products for stats-led gameplay and Sportsbook Managed Service, to provide operators with more services and opportunities to grow.

Commenting on the certification, Phyllyp Sedicias, WA. Technology’s
Country Director for Brazil said: “This is a significant milestone for the business and signals our intent to expand further into the Brazilian market. I’m proud of the team’s hard work to secure this certificate and allow us to meet the market demands for casino games within this region.
“GLI certification for our casino aggregator product means we can now provide operators with additional opportunities to enhance their content through an experienced team with a proven track record in the region, which we look forward to growing our partnerships even further.”
