The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) has launched a new Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) hub on its website, providing licensees with detailed information on ESG reporting. The landing page opened for the first time for registered licensees on July 9.

This newly launched ESG landing page serves as a central hub for all things related to the Authority’s voluntary ESG Code of Good Practice. It aims to assist online gaming companies in aligning with best practices, thereby meeting the evolving expectations of stakeholders.

“The Code enables us to showcase our licensees’ dedication to sustainability and to continue highlighting the positive actions already being undertaken by the gaming industry,” the MGA stated.

The ESG Code of Good Practice for the remote gaming sector is an industry-specific framework designed to enhance transparency, encourage ESG reporting and facilitate benchmarking among companies.

The Code complements existing industry efforts and serves as a reference for remote gaming companies to regularly assess, report on, and improve their ESG practices, the authority said. It was developed through four key stages: peer review and research, materiality assessment, stakeholder interviews and consultations with licensees.

N1 Partners, one of the top affiliate programs with Tier-1 brands, is running the N1 Puzzle Promo. Registered partners run traffic – PPC and ASO, SEO traffic, Facebook, and other channels –  and earn puzzle pieces. The more pieces you collect – the better chance to win the main prize… a HELICOPTER!

Everyone has a shot at victory. Let’s meet Media Buying Agency Gipsy, now in the top-3 of the N1 Puzzle Promo.

Partnership Background

Media Buying Agency Gipsy and the N1 Partners affiliate program have worked together for many years. Over time they have built smooth processes, strong relationships, and solid analytics.

Ariadna, CBDO of Gipsy MBA, says: “It feels like we’ve worked together forever, but we started handling large volumes only last year.”

Formula for Growth

Traffic from Gipsy to N1 Partners’ products grew very hard the past year. This rise comes from high-converting offers in Tier-1 GEOs and attractive CPA terms. Partners also get access to analytics and consulting from the program.

Ariadna, CBDO Gipsy MBA: “We use quality approaches and track analytics regularly. Fast communication with our affiliate manager also helps a lot.”

N1 Puzzle Promo: Experience and Top Products to Scale

Gipsy works with PPC, FB & UAC traffic. All these sources count in the N1 Puzzle Promo:

  • PPC & ASO – 1 puzzle piece for every 40 FTD
  • FB & other* – 1 puzzle piece for every 100 FTD

*Social media, SMS, Email, UAC, In-app

Ariadna, CBDO Gipsy MBA: “We joined the N1 Puzzle Promo in April, almost from the very start. The prizes inspire us, especially the helicopter. We didn’t change our traffic sources—we just scaled up and tested new sources and GEOs. Over time we tried every product; now we focus on N1bet, Jet4bet, Slotlords, Slotmafia, and Retrobet.”

Today Gipsy MBA is in the top 3 by puzzle pieces, and the team is determined: “Seeing the volumes we run to N1 Partners, we hope to stay in the TOP and grab some prizes. We already hold a top-3 spot for puzzle pieces, so we aim to keep growing,” – commented Ariadna, CBDO Gipsy MBA. 

If they win, the Gipsy MBA team plans to fly their Robinson R22 Beta II to Australia to chase seagulls. Where will you fly?
