The online voting stage for the inaugural Southern European Gaming Awards starts today!

We are happy to announce that the public online voting stage for the inaugural Southern European Gaming Awards (SEG Awards) starts today, 16 September and will finalize on the 13^th of October. During this period, the industry is invited to vote for their favorite companies in the 26 categories and help them advance to the shortlist (top 5 per category).

The SEG Awards is part of European Gaming Congress (EGC), which will take place in Milan (Italy) on the 8^th of November at Radisson Blu Hotel Milan.

“After successfully implementing CEEG Awards in the CEE region and BSG Awards in the Baltic and Scandinavian region on a yearly base, now it’s time to also include other regions on which we focus on. We are excited to include the Southern European Gaming Awards and also reward the hard work of companies which are based or operate in the region and what better way than having it at the European Gaming Congress which is taking place in Milan this year.”, stated Zoltán Tűndik, Co-Founder, Co-Owner and Head of Business at European Gaming Media and Events.

The European Gaming Congress (EGC) and Southern European Gaming Awards (SEG Awards) are specially designed to bring together industry experts, regulators, operators and service providers from all across Europe in order to discuss burning issues some of the markets are facing when dealing with compliance in licensing, operation and marketing.

The congress is organized yearly in autumn, gathers +125 C-level executives and gives the opportunity to discuss collaboration opportunities, learn about compliance updates and harvest the tech & marketing related information which is presented by industry leaders from the ever-evolving international gambling industry community.

The second edition of the yearly must-attend conference of the gambling industry will focus on bringing new content and a different angle of view from the already established and emerging market.

The discussions include compliance and investment opportunities in regulated jurisdictions such as Italy, Malta, Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and the United Kingdom.

Besides the regional focus, the agenda includes an exclusive IMGL MasterClass™ will also shed light on hot topics such as Marketing for Operators in Regulated Market, Big Data, AI and payments.

Thomas Jones, founder of BingoSites.co.uk, says that operators, affiliates and regulators must work together when it comes to compliance

The online gambling affiliate ecosystem is going through a period of significant change right now.

Compliance is an absolute requirement from operators, with affiliates having to make substantial – sometimes even drastic – changes to ensure they are playing by the rules.

This can be anything from changing the design and layout of their sites to re-writing huge volumes of content to make sure that the requirements set by operators are being met.

The difficulty for affiliates is that these requirements are regularly changing while operators better understand what is expected of them by the UK Gambling Commission and other regulators.

To make matters more complicated, it is often the case that different operators require different things. Take “free spins” – they can be referred to as extra spins, cash spins, wager free spins, etc.

Any respectable affiliate understands why operators are having to prioritise compliance, and they too should wish to create an environment when players are properly protected.

But at the moment the process of ensuring affiliate compliance feels a little chaotic, lacking direction and a common understanding of what is and is not acceptable.

At present, it feels as though everyone is working at arms-length, passing on the responsibility of compliance to the other – even though operators are ultimately responsible.

To improve, all parties – operators, affiliates, regulators and watchdogs – must work more closely together and achieve this shared goal of better protecting players.

What we are doing to help the cause:

We have come to learn that one of the greatest potentials for compliance breaches is around the bonus offers we promote on behalf of our operator partners, and the T&Cs they come with.

To help mitigate this risk, we work closely with our partners to ensure that we are promoting the latest offers and that all terms and conditions are correct and up to date.

Where suitable, we also ensure that significant terms and conditions can be accessed next to the bonus, usually by hovering over the T&Cs icon.

In addition to this, we allow the affiliate managers we work with to read the reviews we write about their brands and check for any inaccurate information or compliance concerns.

We have found this open and honest approach to have worked incredibly well. As an affiliate, we have nothing to hide and want to do everything we can to ensure compliance.

In addition to this, we provide our readers with guides that explain how to gamble responsibly, how wagering requirements work and how to set limits to manage their play.

For us, we want to be referring players that are healthy and happy when playing at online bingo and casino sites – both for their own well-being and the sustainability of our business.

What we would like to see from operators:

The vast majority of online gambling brands we work with are very helpful and accommodating when it comes to compliance.

That being said, we believe it would be hugely beneficial if operators could provide affiliates with compliance guidelines and documents.

This should include the correct welcome offer and terms and conditions, and any requirements around certain terminology and phrasing.

In addition to this, they should provide the latest logos, graphics and images to be used, as well as guidance around publishing content of social media.

Most will provide this if asked, but it really should be sent automatically when an affiliate signs up to an operator’s programme.

Joining forces for improved compliance:

We also believe that more needs to be done when it comes to regulators and watchdogs working with operators and affiliates to better protect players.

At present, it seems as though the regulator has told operators the buck stops with them but haven’t provided crystal clear guidelines as to what is and is not acceptable.

For operators and affiliates to truly understand what standards they should be meeting, it is vital that regulators provide such guidance.

While there have been some complaints about the new requirements operators and affiliates have to adhere to, they are ultimately the right approach for the industry to take.

These changes are flushing out the bad actors and ensuring only those meeting the highest standards remain and this can only be a good thing for operators, affiliates and players.

GVC Australia has completed the final phase of their migration with the introduction of Ladbrokes onto the MyAffiliates platform.

GVC Australia purchased the online bookmaker Neds in December 2018.  Neds was already using the MyAffiliates platform for their affiliate solution. GVC Australia migrated two of their three brands over to MyAffiliates in April of this year in Bookmaker and Betstar.

Chief Digital Officer Chris Ward commented on the transition: “MyAffiliates had been a key partner in the successful launch of Neds. Ladbrokes had built their own affiliate marketing software in the past, but the resourcing required to maintain and improve our internal software had become increasingly difficult to justify with such a cost effective multi-brand solution available through MyAffiliates.”

GVC Australia Head of Affiliates, Dean Bosci, stated that “We’d like to thank the MyAffiliates team for the seamless and stress-free transition from the previous system to the MyAffiliates platform.  With our entire suite of brands now under the one roof, our affiliate staff can manage our affiliate clients and operations faster and more accurately than ever before.”

MyAffiliates General Manager, Clemence Dujardin, said ‘’ it is always a great satisfaction to see that through merger and acquisition, our clients chose to retain the MyAffiliates system, rather than going to other 3^rd party or using their internal system. This is a true seal of confidence in our product and support’’. ‘’It is a great privilege for us to be serving the GVC Australia Group and hope to strengthen our collaboration in the future’’.
