Affilka by SOFTSWISS expands the capabilities of its affiliate marketing tracking platform with the launch of a new module for poker sites. Affilka can now provide its services not only to online casinos and sportsbooks, but also to online poker sites.
The new poker module will enable clients operating online poker sites to take advantage of Affilka as well. The new module includes an updated API, which will be used to process user gaming activity on online poker rooms. In addition to click data, registrations, deposits, and cash-outs, the Affilka affiliate marketing platform will collect, store and process the following online poker player data:
- Poker Rounds Count – the number of rounds a player has played in a poker game
- Poker Bets Sum – the bet sum a player has placed in poker games
- Poker Rake Sum – the commission fee taken by the poker room operating a poker game
- Poker Bonuses Sum – the sum of bonuses issued to the player
- Poker Balance Corrections Sum – the amount of manual adjustments to the player’s balance
- Poker Third Party Fees Sum – any fees paid by an online poker room for various third party services
- Poker Net Revenue Sum – the poker site net profit excluding bonuses, balance adjustments, and third-party fees.
Along with the API update, the Affilka team expanded the Сommission Сonstructor for CPA, RevShare and Hybrid deals (a combination of CPA and RevShare).
Under the CPA model, affiliates are paid for a specific player action or combination of actions. When calculating CPA deals poker sites will be able to take into account such parameters as time from a player registration to a deposit (or meeting other qualification criteria), whether a player has an active self-exclusion limit as part of responsible gaming practises, duplicate players, and a user status (verified or blocked). From now on, for CPA payments, not only player deposits but also poker player activities, such as Poker Rake Sum per player or Poker Bets Sum per player can be taken into account. So, in order to pay an affiliate partner the CPA reward for a referred player, the player must deposit a specified amount during a specified period and/or the Poker Rake Sum from that player and/or their Poker Bets Sum must reach a certain amount.
When using the RevShare model, the poker site pays the affiliate a percentage of the revenue. A poker site owner may pay affiliates a percentage of the gross revenue which is the rake generated by the referred players. The owner may also pay a percentage of the Net Revenue (rake minus bonuses, balance adjustments, third-party fees such as payment system fees, taxes, poker network fees, etc.).
“I am pleased to announce the launch of the long-awaited poker module that will expand Affilka coverage. Not only casinos and sportsbooks but also online poker sites will now be able to use our platform’s unique tools to acquire new players. Poker is an important part of the iGaming industry, so we have worked hard to offer our software solution for poker rooms”, commented Anastasia Borovaya, Product Owner at Affilka.
When it comes to postbacks, they have also been refined. In addition to the classic postbacks for registration, first deposit, any deposit, qualification, as well as casino and sportsbook NGR, Affilka has added postbacks for Poker Rake Sum and Poker Net Revenue Sum. Moreover, qualifying postbacks now include variables containing the Poker Rake Sum values of a qualifying player.
The Affilka affiliate management software platform allows casinos, sportsbooks and poker sites to run affiliate programs in order to promote their businesses. With Affilka’s tools, it is possible to track the effectiveness of affiliate programs, organise work with affiliates and analyse player behaviour.

Casino Guru shortlisted in 2 categories for EGR Operator Awards
![](https://europeangaming.eu/portal/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Casino-Guru-shortlisted-in-2-categories-for-EGR-Operator-Award_20240905_144000_0000.png)
EGR has revealed the shortlists for the EGR Operator Awards nominating Casino Guru in two categories, “Affiliate of the Year” and “Casino Affiliate.”
Being shortlisted for these prestigious awards highlights Casino Guru’s unwavering effort to build one of the world’s most comprehensive and complete database of casino websites.
The honor of competing against some of the industry’s biggest companies demonstrates Casino Guru’s unfaltering commitment to upholding the best standards as an affiliate company, which focuses on data-driven, fact-checked, and human reviews, as part of a growing database, running in the thousands.
Another integral part of the Casino Guru operations is the website’s commitment to Responsible Gambling and raising safer gambling practices in the industry through the company’s dedicated Gamtegrity platform. Gamtegrity is a multi-faceted effort that naturally underpins Casino Guru’s efforts in providing players and professionals with a better understanding of the pitfalls commonly associated with gambling.
Casino Guru Head of Content Maros Gasparik said: “We are committed to raising the standards in terms of our own website and the value we bring to our visitors, but also in terms of the online gambling industry as a whole – making it better and safer for players. I believe the two nominations reflect these values, and we are always happy to see our efforts being acknowledged by reputable organizations such as EGR.”
The value proposition that Casino Guru builds does not stop with simply reviewing a casino. The process involves a comprehensive behind-the-scenes work where dedicated data teams revisit and review casinos in the library to ensure that the website brings the most up-to-date information that players will ever need to find out about a brand, accounting for local regulation, safer gambling practices, terms and conditions.
The team fastidiously examines each casino’s offer to ensure that it presents consumers with an easy and clear understanding of the value each brand stands to bring. This process is then repeated throughout the year to ensure that the allocated value under the Safety Index, Casino Guru’s advanced rating system, is always accurate.
Casino Guru has repeatedly upheld its core principles of equity, fairness, and transparency, helping players not just read reviews but also mediate issues with casinos. The Casino Guru’s Complaint Resolution Center has already achieved unprecedented success early in 2024, returning $4,905,200 up to July.

QiH Group unveils full sports betting vertical ahead of Premier League kick off
![](https://europeangaming.eu/portal/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/3-7.jpg)
UK-based top affiliate QiH Group has diversified into the online sports betting arena for the very first time ahead of the new Premier League season this Friday.
The new launch will cover four sports initially – horse racing, football, boxing and the NFL – across digital marketing channels Google, PPC, SEO, programmatic, Facebook, Snapchat and Twitter.
The launch will be led by the affiliate’s new-look Podium Bets brand, which showcases the best online sports betting operators alongside daily promotions, best odds guaranteed, and free-to-play games.
QiH capitalised on the intense interest during this summer’s Euro 2024 tournament to perform a successful soft launch of the sports betting division.
This culminated in the execution of 350 campaigns across paid channels, which delivered a prospect list of more than 25,000 sports customers and approximately 7,500 conversions.
Double trouble
The number of operator partners onboarded into QiH sports also more than doubled in the last two months, as the quality of the customer offering was improved and implemented.
QiH Group chief marketing officer David Murphy expects the new division to contribute 15% to revenue activity in FY ‘24/’25.
“The Euros were the launchpad of a long-held ambition for the company to expand into sports and it has been a fantastic success,” says Murphy.
“It is a strategic goal for QiH to deliver not just volume, but also quality, by targeting sports enthusiasts in quality channels while ensuring that our partners can jointly prosper in our vertical expansion.
“We are committed to providing sports fans with the same level of excellence and innovation that has defined our market-leading casino offerings.
“I am incredibly proud of our team’s efforts to expand into sports betting. This is just the beginning, and we have a lot more in store for end users and crucially, our operator partners,” Murphy concludes.
Sports-focused Podium Bets has gone straight into the QiH brand portfolio alongside premium casino offerings such as SlotsWise and StrikeWild.
Camilla Rodrigues, Affiliate Manager for Betrino, said: “Since partnering with Podium Bets at the beginning of this year, we’ve seen remarkable growth in our business. Their team has been exceptional in understanding our unique needs and crafting strategies that have yielded fantastic results. Thanks to their expertise, we’ve not only exceeded our initial expectations but have also been able to onboard more brands, further expanding our reach and success in this space.”
James Dominique, Affiliate Manager at Lottoland, said he’s been impressed with Podium Bets’ results in just a short amount of time: “We’ve recently launched with Podium Bets and have seen some fantastic results so far. Our account manager has been outstanding in onboarding our unique brand, which isn’t a typical sportsbook, and finding a way to make it profitable for us.”
