The next monthly prize drawing among tournament participants will be held on April 3

The second annual Golden Boomerang Awards 2025, organized by Boomerang Partners, is approaching the equator. This year, participants are competing in betting and casino leaderboards. The tournament, which runs from February 3 to May 11, has attracted over 400 top affiliate teams worldwide. They are competing for 11 awards, including the Grand Prix.

New leaders

The Golden Boomerang Awards 2025 leaderboards are constantly being updated, and now, in the middle of the tournament, there are new top three leaders in each of them:

• Top 3 in the betting category: Full, Tokyo Team and Gipsy.
• Top 3 in the casino category: HighRoller Gaming, Fumma, and Boss.

In the betting leaderboard, the first and second places are currently in the closest gap in points, and everything can still change. In the casino race, the main leader has gone ahead, but the competition among the pursuers is very strong. It is expected that more changes will occur in the leading two trios by the end of the tournament. The competition for victory is fierce, with both groups vying intensely, and no one is willing to give up.

Grand Finale

The Golden Boomerang Awards 2025 final will take place in May. The top 30 affiliate teams will participate in an exclusive business networking event, and the best contestants will be invited to the famous San Siro stadium in Milan. Boomerang Partners will realize this opportunity as the official regional betting partner of AC Milan.

The next giveaway on April 3

In addition to the main awards, the tournament rules provide for three monthly prize drawings. They are awarded to teams that have completed additional tasks, the set of which changes every month. The next drawing is scheduled for April 3. Affiliate teams still have the opportunity to participate in the Golden Boomerang Awards 2025 and compete for main and monthly prizes. Follow Boomerang Partners’ social media accounts for news and tasks to enter the drawings, and don’t miss a thing.

A leader’s perspective

Anastasia, representative of One Partners – one of the leading competitors in the Golden Boomerang Awards last and this season, commented on last year’s and current tournament: “The [last year’s] awards ceremony turned into a fascinating show with cool decorations and performances by artists. If you let your imagination run wild and imagine yourself in a stadium, I think it’s better to add some football vibe.”

“The main highlight of the Golden Boomerang Awards 2025 is that the location has changed from sunny Cyprus to the legendary San Siro Stadium in Milan. The number of awards also increased, so I think it’s going to be more massive, more grand, and spectacular.

It’s nice to get into the top 30, where affiliate marketing leaders will be present. I believe and hope that our team will be in the final, so I can’t wait to feel this drive, celebration, and energy like it was in the previous year.”  – said Anastasia.

Join the Golden Boomerang Awards 2025 and be among the best.

SOFTSWISS leverages a comprehensive suite of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) services to ensure performance, scalability, and security across its operations”.

Among these services is OKE (Oracle Kubernetes Engine), which provides the scalability and flexibility needed for deploying containerised applications. To support critical workloads, SOFTSWISS uses high-performance VM Instances, delivering the necessary power for demanding tasks.

For secure and scalable data handling, Object Storage ensures reliable storage and fast access to essential information. The company also relies on Cloud Guard for continuous monitoring and automated threat response, maintaining a high level of protection for its cloud resources.

In managing and deploying containerised applications, SOFTSWISS benefits from a centralised Container Image Hub, simplifying the application lifecycle management. Lastly, using IAM (Identity and Access Management), the company enforces strict access controls, ensuring robust security at every level of the infrastructure.

“Thanks to these tools, our collaboration with Oracle OCI allows us to build highly available and scalable solutions that meet the highest security and efficiency standards. We are confident that the joint use of cloud technologies fosters the development of innovative projects and the optimisation of our clients’ business processes,” continued S. Kastukevich.
