First Look Games adds Reflex Gaming to its platform
Studio ramps up game promotion via award-winning platform that directly connects developers and affiliates
Reflex Gaming has become the latest developer to get serious about game promotion after joining First Look Games, the powerful and sophisticated platform that directly connects studios and affiliates.
As a fully paid-up member of First Look Games, Reflex Gaming gains access to a brandable library where it can upload information and assets for each of its titles which can then be accessed by a network of approved affiliates.
Reflex Gaming can even offer demo links for each of its games, with player verification that is carried out seamlessly by 1account. This means that affiliates in highly regulated markets such as the UK can still offer demo games to their audiences.
Reflex Gaming has complete control over the assets it shares via its library, and when those assets are made available to affiliates. It can even offer a “first look” to certain affiliates up to two weeks before a new game launches.
This allows affiliates to create content ahead of time, building hype around the title before it hits the market. This is something Reflex Gaming will do with its latest game, 8 Balls of Fire.
8 Balls of Fire takes players to the South Pacific and to the tiny island of Pyro Tiki where they can discover a closely held secret – a volcano that can deliver massive wins. The game is set across six reels and three rows with 20 paylines active and comes packed with features such as Free Spins, Fire Ball Link (a hold and spin bonus), Multipliers, a Pot Pick bonus and more.
Elliott Resnick of First Look Games, said: “We are delighted to add Reflex Gaming to our growing lineup of renowned studios looking to leverage the power of affiliates and promote their titles to the widest possible player audience.
“The First Look Games platform has been designed to allow them to do this with ease while ensuring assets are stored securely.
“Given the high level of competition among studios and the sheer number of titles players have to choose from, engaging with the player community via affiliates is proven to boost awareness of a studio and ultimately participation with its games.”
Mat Ingram, CPO at Reflex Gaming added: “We have an exciting game launch schedule, and the First Look Games collaboration will help us to expand our affiliate offering globally.
“As an omni-channel game studio with a presence in both the online and retail markets, our games are accessible to a wide audience. This cross-platform availability ensures that players become increasingly acquainted with our titles. This partnership will enable us to maximise our reach to a wider player audience.”

The Danish Gambling Authority Warns of Money Laundering Risks When Using Affiliates

The Danish Gambling Authority has become aware that money laundering can occur through affiliates who market for gambling operators. Gambling operators that use affiliates should therefore consider whether this gives rise to updating their risk assessment.
An affiliate is a marketing channel where a person or company makes money by marketing for, for example, a gambling operator. The general consumer protection and marketing rules and the Gambling Act’s rules on marketing and communication also apply to affiliates. An affiliate earns money from the agreement by, for example, attracting new customers via their own website or through their own social network to the gambling operator’s website with a link. The link is generated specifically for the affiliate. The affiliate receives payment for the referral (pay per click), or a certain percentage of the amount the new customer deposits into their account.
How criminals can exploit affiliate agreements with gambling operators
In affiliate agreements with an individual or a company, there is an inherent risk that a gambling operator will be misused for money laundering. Particularly organized criminal networks can exploit an affiliate agreement. Networks of organized criminals can refer a large number of people within their criminal network as customers using the link to a gambling operator. A larger amount of illegal funds can be deposited into customers’ gambling accounts, which will not initially look suspicious, as the amount is distributed among several people in the criminal’s network. The deposited funds can subsequently be paid out to customers, possibly after play-through from their gambling accounts. This approach will make it look like legitimate winnings from gambling, and at the same time the affiliate increases its profit by having brought more new customers to the gambling operator, who according to the affiliate agreement is usually paid per additional new customer.
Signs of money laundering through affiliates
The Danish Gambling Authority points out that gambling operators may risk being misused for money laundering through these affiliate agreements. It may indicate that a gambling operator is being misused for money laundering by its affiliate if a majority of the customers referred by the affiliate only use the gambling operator’s website once and then no longer use the gambling operator’s services. It may therefore be relevant to assess whether entering into an affiliate agreement gives rise to updating one’s risk assessment.
