iGB Affiliate Awards postponed until April 2022

Published

iGaming event iGB Affiliate Awards London was supposed to take place in February 2022 but it has been postponed due to the current Covid-19 situation. At the moment it looks like the event will happen sometime in April 2022 but the final dates have not been published yet.

The Awards organizer Clarion Gaming announced the postponement on December 17th. Stuart Hunter, the managing director of Clarion Gaming, confirmed that the decision was made together with cooperating operators and they will announce the new iGB Affiliate Awards dates as soon as possible.

iGB Affiliate Awards

iGB Affiliate Awards is one of the biggest annual gatherings in iGaming and it welcomes sportsbook and casino professionals from all over the world. These kinds of award ceremonies are much more than just measuring who is the best performer. They are about meeting people, making new partnerships and building long lasting relationships personally and professionally.

Last year the iGBA Awards were hosted online. People working in iGaming are used to virtual encounters and sometimes it might take years to meet someone in person, even if you would be in touch on a daily basis. That’s why these events are so important. Even though the Award postponement was a bummer, it’s still a better option to take a rain check than cancel the whole event.

2022 shortlist

As every other award, iGB Affiliate Awards announces the official shortlist before the actual ceremony. The 2022 shortlist contains almost 20 categories, including nominations for marketing affiliates, gaming brands and supporting operators.

Last year the nominations were divided between market leaders and smaller affiliates, and it seems this year is following the same trend. Affiliate companies like Raketech and Better Collective are familiar names on shortlists but there is still room for newcomers like BonusFinder.com.

It’s great that fairly new companies are acknowledged as well. For example, Good Luck Media was founded in 2018 and they were already shortlisted in 2021. This year they were nominated for the ‘Best Casino Affiliate’ and the ‘Rising Star’ awards. Following a huge success in Finland, Good Luck Media has now turned their other eye towards the U.S markets by building up their Coinflip.com brand.

The iGBA Awards also gives personal recognition for a job well done. There are 10 talented and innovative nominees on the ‘Best Affiliate Manager’ shortlist. These people, like Andreza Majela from Campeón Gaming and Agni Raitar from Yolo Gaming to name a few, are at the top of the industry.

But as we know now, all these iGB Affiliate Awards nominees will have to wait a little longer to know who actually wins the titles. Rearrangements have already started and even though it takes a lot of resources to postpone something this big, this was the only responsible option. And who knows, maybe even more iGaming professionals can join the celebrations in April if the world situation has drastically improved.

SOFTSWISS, a global tech provider with over 15 years of iGaming expertise, announces another milestone as a lucky player wins the Prime Network Jackpot, taking home an impressive prize of €758,262.71.

The Prime Network Jackpot is designed to enhance player engagement while driving measurable value for operators. By uniting multiple brands into a single shared prize pool, the solution generates larger jackpots, strengthens player loyalty, and amplifies casino visibility – positioning operators as leaders in a highly competitive market.

Launched on 3 April 2025, the ongoing Prime Network Jackpot campaign started with a €500,000 pool and quickly expanded to €758,262.71 as new operators joined the network. The jackpot-winning spin occurred at Golden Crown Casino within the Lady Wolf Moon Megaways game by BGaming. The final payout to one fortunate winner highlights the effectiveness of collaborative jackpot mechanics. Participating in the Prime Network Jackpot offers casinos several advantages:

  • No extra payout costs: Jackpot winnings are paid entirely from the shared prize pool, with no additional financial burden on individual casinos.
  • High player retention: Approximately 95% of jackpot winnings are typically reinvested as player deposits, rather than withdrawn.
  • Boosted brand visibility: Winning casinos receive additional media exposure through dedicated press releases and industry publications, strengthening brand awareness.

Angelina Stasiuk, Head of Business Line at SOFTSWISS Jackpot Aggregator, comments: “With every new Prime Network Jackpot campaign, we see growing excitement among both players and operators. Shared jackpots unite brands within a single prize ecosystem, reinforcing loyalty, boosting casino recognition, and showcasing the true potential of collective efforts. Each campaign proves that collaboration not only delivers record-breaking payouts but also opens fresh opportunities for industry growth.”

“What a day for our Golden Crown family! A player has just hit the jackpot – and the most exciting part is that this was a reactivated player who returned through our upgraded omnichannel communications and retargeting strategies. At StarCrown Partners, all traffic is managed to deliver measurable value. This milestone proves the strength of our approach: we’ve built a system where traffic doesn’t just convert, it continues to generate long-term value,” added Yulia Braun, Affiliate Team Lead at StarCrown.

The Prime Network Jackpot has been running successfully for two years. In its previous campaign, a record payout reached €1,368,013, the largest win to date. This milestone highlights how rapidly the prize totals are growing thanks to shared pool mechanics.

A new Prime Network Jackpot has already been launched with a starting pool of €500,000. The Jackpot Aggregator, compatible with any iGaming platform, offers flexible launch and integration options, making participation in large-scale jackpot campaigns accessible to operators across the industry.

The SOFTSWISS team will be available at SBC Lisbon 2025, Stand B160, to discuss the possibilities of the Jackpot Aggregator.

Arizona Department of Gaming and Arizona Lottery Announce Proclamation Recognizing September 2025 as Responsible Gaming Education Month

Published

State agencies join forces to raise awareness, promote prevention, and provide tools for safe and responsible play.

The Arizona Department of Gaming (ADG) and the Arizona Lottery are proud to announce a joint effort in support of a new Proclamation recognizing September 2025 as Responsible Gaming Education Month in Arizona.

Responsible gaming is about ensuring that individuals who choose to play have the tools, resources, and knowledge they need to make informed decisions and enjoy gaming as a form of entertainment. While problem gambling initiatives focus on helping those already experiencing harm from gambling, responsible gaming emphasizes prevention by encouraging healthy play behaviors before they reach a critical point.

Throughout September, and continuing in the months ahead, the ADG and Arizona Lottery will work together to strengthen education and awareness initiatives. The goal is to equip players with strategies and resources that help them keep gaming fun and safe, while helping reduce the risks associated with problem gambling.

“For over 30 years, the Arizona Department of Gaming has safeguarded the integrity of gaming through strong consumer protections, enforcement against illegal operators, and support services for those impacted by problem gambling,” said Jackie Johnson, Arizona Department of Gaming Agency Director. “During Responsible Gaming Education Month, we remind everyone that part of playing responsibly is being informed—always double-check before you place your bet to ensure you are using a legal, regulated operator at gaming.az.gov/checkyourbet.”

The Arizona Lottery also remains steadfast in its commitment to responsible play and has a Level 2 certification with the World Lottery Association for responsible gaming. Lottery games benefit the people of Arizona by generating critical revenue that funds education, healthcare, environmental conservation, and economic development. At the same time, the Lottery prioritizes the well-being of its players. Each ticket includes clear odds of winning, vending machines display game odds, and the 1-800-NEXT-STEP helpline is featured across Lottery products and advertising.

“We are proud to deliver entertainment that benefits communities across our state, while recognizing our responsibility to promote safe play,” said Alec Thomson, Arizona Lottery Executive Director. “Through transparency and awareness, we want every player to have the tools they need to make informed decisions and enjoy the Lottery responsibly.”

As Arizona observes Responsible Gaming Education Month, ADG and the Arizona Lottery encourage all players to stay informed, know their limits, and seek help if needed. Together, we can ensure that gaming remains a source of entertainment that strengthens, rather than harms, Arizona communities.

For more information and resources, visit gaming.az.gov/ResponsibleGaming or ArizonaLottery.com/ResponsibleGaming. If you or someone you know may be struggling with problem gambling, call or text 1-800-NEXT-STEP for confidential support available 24/7.
