ProgressPlay has revealed that their new technology stack is packed with the latest Responsible Gambling automation and tools. ProgressPlay has developed its own proprietary Responsible Gambling software in an innovation project that reached fruition with February’s platform launch and a shortlisting by the EGR Awards in their inaugural Safer Gambling category. The Responsible Gambling software at the heart of the platform was written and launched in 2022 and tested over a period of months.

Recently, ProgressPlay has invested in proprietary technological advancement facilitating greater automation tools and robust secured procedures for Responsible Gambling that put the company at the forefront of companies providing the safest player experience. As part of the rebuild, ProgressPlay significantly rethought its Responsible Gambling approach, creating an AI-driven proprietary flow for interaction with players which recognises them in real-time and scores them against a number of criteria.

Recognised by EGR’s judging panel, this technology has been further enhanced by the formation of a Responsible Gambling Team in-house who take ownership of service-levels available and covers a range of factors including KYC, player activity, affordability levels and results in a transparent audit trail to protect and enable players.

The new platform launched at ICE 2023 enabled by ProgressPlay proprietary flows that include interaction funnels, onboarding, retention, reduced attrition, lifetime value and other KPIs which their large casino cluster now has full access to.

Last year, ProgressPlay internally restructured to create a new multidisciplinary Responsible Gambling Team, putting together a talented team of top executives alongside a new “Responsible Gaming Monitoring Committee” to help steer development of Responsible Gambling actions within the company and an innovative Progress Learn platform to drive knowledge and skills around Responsible Gambling company wide.

From the initial interaction with the customer, full data is collected to categorise the clients risk level following a real time evaluation of the player’s activity to ensure his ongoing state. Upon identification, personalised mandatory communications are sent to the client while having the dedicated Responsible Gaming Team undertake their checks in real-time, by reviewing, evaluating and concluding to take any necessary action, coupled with ongoing monitoring, ensures their clients are not falling into financial difficulties.

An innovative digital resource was created to be accessed by all staff 24/7, Progress Learn, with the goal of ensuring that a robust Responsible Gaming culture is second nature to every team member company wide, with that resource being constantly updated with new policy, guidelines, videos, webinars, seminars, quizzes, assessments and classroom training.

The new platform with a slick and intuitive AI-driven UI/UX now supplies operators and casinos with a platform and game aggregator together with extensive value-added services, covering white-label, turnkey and a new service introduction on the back of the new technology, Licensee services. These upgraded services fully cover all the requirements of casino operators as recognised in EGR’s shortlisting in multiple categories.

A raft of over 150 online casino brands has already teamed up with ProgressPlay to bring their casino and sports-betting platforms to life, and these brands are currently being migrated to the new stack. This combination of casino games and sports betting is itself a rare offering, underpinning the innovative approach the company has to do business.

ProgressPlay CEO Itai Loewenstein said: “Every conversation today begins and ends with regulation. We are delighted with the innovation muscle of our team who have been able to introduce new levels of capability beyond regulatory standards.”

Meet MegaList: The Rising Force in iGaming Affiliation

There are affiliate networks, and then there’s MegaList – a performance-first, hype-last kind of operation built for casino and sportsbook brands that prefer results over buzzwords.

In an industry that sometimes feels like it’s powered by vague metrics and recycled content, MegaList steps in as the “Mega Map” – a practical, data-driven network guiding both players and operators to higher ground. Less “look at our reach,” more “here’s your conversion rate.”

So no, this isn’t just another logo-stamped brand promising traffic and delivering bounce rates. This is a carefully engineered affiliate engine built on smart SEO, qualified leads, and just enough caffeine-fueled obsession with results to make even the most skeptical operators pay attention.

The iGaming Affiliate World: Why It (Still) Matters

Let’s be honest – the affiliate space in iGaming has had its fair share of bad actors and empty promises. But when done right, affiliate marketing is still one of the most effective and efficient ways to connect licensed operators with the right players.

Players want fewer popups, more clarity. Operators want actual ROI, not vague impressions.
Enter: the data-driven affiliate network.

It’s simple:

  • Informed players make better choices.
  • Strategic affiliates deliver better traffic.
  • Everyone wins. Except, of course, the shady operators who preferred it the other way.

Meet the MegaList Brands

These aren’t vanity microsites. Each MegaList brand has a specific mission, actual humans behind the content, and a reputation for, well… telling it like it is.

MegaCasinoList


Let’s face it – players don’t need another affiliate promising “top 10 casinos” based on whatever ad paid the most. They need honest, transparent, expert-backed reviews.

That’s where MegaCasinoList comes in – a platform that filters out the noise and delivers legit info on licensed casinos, security, fairness, and gameplay. Slots? Live dealer games? Payout speed? Yep, it’s all in there, and it’s all vetted.

They work with reliable operators only, because – and here’s a crazy idea – not every shiny site deserves your deposit.

MegaTipsList

If you like sports predictions that read like a 20-page legal document, you’re in the wrong place.

MegaTipsList is built for bettors who want real insights, fast reads, accurate tips, and actual value. It delivers predictions, sports news, and timely promotions – minus the fluff and with none of that “win guaranteed” nonsense.

Designed for bettors who like to stay informed without needing a PhD to understand the odds.

MegaBetList

For the practical bettor who just wants the facts: which sites are legit, which ones pay fast, and what to expect before placing your first wager.

MegaBetList reviews betting platforms with a clear, no-nonsense voice. It’s not trying to dazzle; it’s trying to help people bet smarter – and it’s doing a pretty solid job of it.

From licensing to promotions to usability, everything is covered – and everything is filtered through what actually matters to sports fans.

Why This All Matters (And Why It’s Working)

The iGaming world doesn’t need more noise. It needs better filters, smarter partners, and affiliates that actually care whether the traffic leads somewhere useful.

That’s where MegaList comes in – not to impress with buzzwords, but to perform, to scale, and to make sure both operators and players are on the same page for once.

And if we may drop in a little vision while we’re at it:

“At MegaList, we believe informed players and strategic operators shape a stronger, smarter iGaming industry.”

For once, a statement that isn’t just inspirational filler.

So the next time someone pitches you an affiliate network, ask one thing: “Do they have a plan, or just a landing page?”

 MegaList has both, and a track record to prove it.

European Safer Gambling Week is an annual collaborative initiative to raise awareness about safer gambling in Europe and foster a strong culture of player protection. Organised by EGBA, the initiative serves as a platform to inform citizens about safer gambling and promote information and best practice-sharing between stakeholders across Europe’s gambling sector, including operators, regulators, technology providers, support organisations and experts-by-experience.

This year will be the fifth edition of the initiative and follows the unprecedented success of 2024, which saw 195 partners participate in a social media campaign across 26 countries reaching 3.1 million social media users with important safer gambling messages.
