AskGamblers Awards 2020: The Nomination Period has Started
Yesterday marked the beginning of the much-anticipated nomination phase in the brand-new season of the AskGamblers Awards!
Like every previous year, in 2021, you make for an essential part of the entire process. In this stage, you nominate your favourite online casinos and video slots, choosing them to enter the race and compete for the “best of the best” status.
Stay with us for more details –
The Nomination Phase and Things You Should Know
Although there is no doubt the majority of you (maybe even all of you) know the nomination process inside out, here’s a little reminder just to be sure.
To nominate your favourite candidates, you can do so in the following categories:
- Best Casino 2020
- Best New Casino 2020
- Best New Slot 2020
Each category lists potential future winners and you, as AskGamblers players, have the exclusive privilege to select and nominate.
Look for your favourite candidates in our directory and click on the “Nominate” button on the casino review or slot review page. That’s all!
The nomination period starts today, on 6 April 2021 and ends on 16 May 2021, allowing the nomination of just one candidate per category.
In that sense, a bit over two months should be just enough time for you to carefully decide on who will be the lucky one to carry your nomination! We know you’ll choose well, you always do.
Every single online casino on the AskGamblers website is up for the Awards nomination, but only the top 10 nominees will be up for voting. Remember: To nominate your candidates, you must be signed in to your AskGamblers account.
As soon as the nomination phase ends, the voting phase begins, details of which you will be promptly informed of.
AskGamblers Awards Celebration
Due to the current circumstances, AskGamblers Awards Night 2021 will be held virtually and live-streamed from Belgrade, Serbia. The Awards are scheduled for 17 June 2021. All other stages of the Awards remain the same.
More details will follow soon, and you’ll be kept in the loop for all that’s relevant.
Nominate Your Favourite Candidates
AskGamblers team is super excited about the AskGamblers Awards finally being set in motion and the new nomination pool you’ll create with your clever choice! Players, for the next two months and so, we expect a lot of engagement on your part! The anticipation is in full speed, and our fingers are crossed for your beloved candidates to make it to the voting phase!

Increase Redirect Speed by 5 Times with Affilka New Feature
SOFTSWISS, a global tech company with over 15 years of experience in iGaming, introduces a new Geo-Distributed Redirect feature of Affilka by SOFTSWISS that helps operators improve engagement and conversion rates by reducing user redirect times.
The Geo-Distributed Redirect feature intelligently routes users to destination landing pages via regional clusters closest to their location. This geo-optimised infrastructure minimises redirect times, increasing successful website visits from referral links. The feature is designed for seamless scalability across multiple regions and enhances performance globally, wherever needed.
With the new feature, Affilka by SOFTSWISS reduced redirect duration by 2.5 to 5 times. At one of the regions, for example, extensive simulated tests showed a decrease in redirect times for users from 1.5 seconds to 300-500 milliseconds – this is one of the fastest responses available in the market. As a result, the feature implementation leads to a 3.5% to 7% growth in users successfully reaching casino sites. This increase in site traffic, in turn, directly contributes to more registrations and deposits.
The Geo-Distributed Redirect feature boosts conversions, accelerates redirects, enhances fault tolerance and high availability, and improves service reliability for users globally. Even during unexpected challenges, the system dynamically reroutes traffic to alternative resources, ensuring a seamless experience.
Gleb Bichan, Product Lead at Affilka by SOFTSWISS, shares his excitement: “With the launch of our Geo-Distributed Redirect feature, we are addressing the needs of clients targeting users worldwide. By reducing redirection times and increasing reliability, we enable our partners to deliver a superior user experience that drives traffic delivery and conversions. This feature is a significant improvement for customers looking to expand their global reach.”
Along with affiliate marketing, SEO website advancement helps operators promote their projects. Considering this, SOFTSWISS issued a comprehensive Casino SEO Audit: The Ultimate Guide, providing tips for increasing any iGaming project’s visibility.
The SOFTSWISS team looks forward to sharing the details of the Geo-Distributed Redirect feature and other product updates at the upcoming SiGMA Europe Expo. Current and potential partners can book a meeting with company representatives at stand 2145 through the contact form.
