Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Studios and affiliates can take advantage of a range of new features including a free API that provides connected access to game and studio data

First Look Games (FLG), the innovative platform that directly connects game studios with online gambling affiliates, has rolled out a major upgrade to its platform, significantly improving the user experience for both developers and publishers.

First Look Games 2.0 allows users to search for, find and download game assets with more efficiency and make use of advanced filters such as being able to identify games by licence.

It also includes a timeline feature on the platform which allows developers to communicate relevant studio news as well as new game launches.

Studios have been given more options to manage their games and assets through a brand-new Studio Management Centre. Key features include allowing them to announce any exclusivity arrangements they have on game launches plus adding and removing jurisdictions for each game.

The biggest leap forward with First Look Games 2.0 is a new API feature that provides connected access to game and game studio data in a structured format. This allows affiliates to automatically create initial reviews of partner games and, as is the case with all FLG products, is completely free for registered publishers to use.

Studios and publishers will also benefit from a new weekly FLG newsletter that will feature game studio news, platform updates, feature reviews, the latest premium releases plus a list of recently launched and soon to launch standard titles.

Tom Galanis, Managing Director of First Look Games, said: First Look Games 2.0 is a major upgrade on the previous version of the platform and will significantly improve the experience offered to both game studios and affiliates.

This includes the ability to search for games more easily and much faster than before, and for studios to provide even more insight into their activity and games.

I am particularly proud of our new API that connects directly with game and studio data and presents this information in an easy to digest format. It also means that affiliates can automatically create reviews of partner games allowing them to be first to market with their content. I’m delighted to inform the affiliate community that, as with all other product feature on the platform, use of the API is completely free for our users.

The upgrade will be followed by further developments throughout the year as we continue to make First Look Games the number one destination for studios and affiliates to come together.”

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.

As the international igaming industry prepares for the July 2025 relocation of iGB L!VE to London, show organisers have received another endorsement of the decision to pair the industry’s fastest growing Tier 1 online gaming expo with the iGB Affiliate Awards – the most respected celebration of excellence on the industry calendar.

Following on from the announcement by Richard Moffat, Chief Executive of OLBG, that the company would be supporting iGB L!VE and the iGB Affiliate Awards with its “biggest ever presence at a conference” Jamie Walters, CEO of QiH Group confirmed his support, stating: “Since QiH entered the iGaming affiliate marketplace a decade ago, industry awards and events have been a huge part of our success as a company – both in making meaningful and lasting connections and in discovering new and inventive industry game-changers.

“While Barcelona is a fine city with many merits, I think the continuity provided by the iGB Affiliate Awards remaining in London and running alongside iGB L!VE will maintain the consistent prestige attached to the event. We look forward to attending and seeing everyone there!”

will provide visitors and exhibitors with access to new markets, new growth opportunities and new partnerships.

“With an industry that’s growing at an exponential rate it’s imperative that we scale ahead of the market. By moving iGB L!VE and the iGB Affiliate Awards to ExCeL London we will be able to attract more of the people who are most critical to the future development of the igaming industry.”
