Barcelona Affiliate Conference 2011

This time next week, I will be in (hopefully) sunny Barcelona for the renewed Barcelona Affiliate Conference. Three years on from the last affiliate conference in Barcelona and I am really looking forward to going back. The last one was an experience I’ll never forget – from near-miss muggings, to wine and beers on the Media Hut yacht (Karl Dukes – where are you!?!), to the most awesome iGaming bar crawl in (hazy) memory, organised by my now business partners, Esther and Sarah from GameOn Marketing, and Justina Cruickshank, then of Marmalade, now of the new bingo operation Blushbomb. Here are some of the photos from that blurry night. And yes, I am drunk in all of them.

Given that there is no football to go and see this year (FC Barcelona are away at Sociedad on the Saturday), I’ll be knuckling down to some serious and some not-so-serious meetings with affiliates and operators alike to do some cracking deals. If you would like to meet up at the Barcelona Affiliate Conference, please drop me a mail!

BoogieBet launching on PartnerMatrix

GameOn Affiliates‘ partner BoogieBet, operating off the OddsMatrix and Net Entertainment platforms, is one of the first operators to adopt EveryMatrix’s affiliate management software, PartnerMatrix.

GameOn Affiliates consulted in the development of PartnerMatrix and the system offers fantastic reliability and accuracy to affiliates and licensees. PartnerMatrix unites the functionality of a solid affiliate reporting system with BanaMatrix, EveryMatrix’s fantastic banner creation and serving tool.

Eric Yonce, CEO of BoogieBet said “The power of the PartnerMatrix software gives us the confidence to use it for all our online marketing and affiliate campaigns. We are excited about using live odds and fixtures in our dynamic sports betting banners and attract new players across all of our products.”

BoogieBet is the latest partner to receive GameOn Affiliates’ affiliate management service. Newly live, the BoogieBet Affiliate Program launches officially at LAC 2011 at the end of January with a unique, invite only experience for a number of leading sports and casino affiliates – an exclusive Limo trip to Nike Town on Oxford Circus to design personalised training shoes with Nike iD.

Tom Galanis, Director, GameOn Affiliates, is hugely excited about working with both BoogieBet and PartnerMatrix. “Having been involved in the development of PartnerMatrix, we have witnessed the system’s progression towards an industry-leading reporting tool.

CasinoCreed launches

GameOn Affiliates’ partner CBN Gaming has launched CasinoCreed.com, which incorporates CBN Gaming’s real casino platform, streamed live from the Regent Casino in Bucharest, Romania, with leading RNG games from Microgaming.

GameOn Affiliates will be running CasinoCreed Affiliates on behalf of CBN Gaming and Director, Tom Galanis, cannot wait to push the brand out to the affiliate market. “CBN Gaming’s product really is top notch. I have seen live casino products enter the space and not really have the impact they might have. Uniting such a great concept with the ever popular Microgaming platform will provide affiliates with a high quality game offering to push to players”.

CasinoCreed Affiliates has recently launched on the NetRefer platform offering affiliates up to a 50% revenue share and a full suite of marketing tools to open up the doors of the Regent Casino to their player base.

Hippodrome Casino

I’m working on an exciting project at the moment with the Hippodrome Casino, currently in development in both an on and offline sense. If your recollection of the Hippodrome is of a dingy, black wall clad single storey nightspot often seen as a last resort to those of questionable drinking age, prepare to be blown away.

Simon and Peter Thomas, founders of Beacon Bingo, have invested significant amounts into an astonishingly large site right on the corner of Leicester Square. I was given a tour of the site, and it is still a building site at this stage, and I was staggered at how much premium real estate was previously unused in such a central London location. Being a bit of a grumpy, ageing cynic, not a great deal excites me, but having viewed the plans and the site, I am looking forward to the task at hand – and that is helping to prove to the Genting’s of the world that it is possible to harmonise a successful land-based casino with an online offering, and making the two work for affiliates in particular.

Hippodrome Casino aims to become the number one gaming venue in London and with a walk-by audience of over 1 million people per week, you can well imagine that becoming the case pretty quickly. We will be working on systems to ensure that affiliates can not only gain credit for any offline play their recruited online players partake in, but also to create a full circle approach that will see them gain use of the land-based facility to recruit to and retain their player base. Not the easiest of tasks, but later this month I’m giving a select group of leading casino affiliates the opportunity for a sneak peak at the venue and help them envisage what this opportunity holds for them.

The Hippodrome Casino is due to open in the Summer of 2011, with the online product preceding it in the next few months.

GameOn Affiliates running Partners Only Affiliate Program

Having worked alongside Vision Media Services to set up the LATAM facing affiliate program, PartnersOnly.com, GameOn Affiliates has now taken over the affiliate recruitment and management for the program.

Tom Galanis, Director of GameOn Affiliates, said: “The Latin and South American markets have become increasingly attractive to global affiliates as payment processing has now become less of a minefield. PartnersOnly is one of the few dedicated LATAM gaming affiliate programs out there, and arguably the one offering the most in terms of revenue share from an affiliate standpoint. Vision Media have done a fantastic job securing and continuing to grow a wide range of payment options for players making their sites Copacabana Poker, Betmotion, Apostogano and Apostouganhou Sports, Casino, Bingo and Slots remarkably accessible to the huge Portuguese and Spanish speaking markets in South and Central America. I am looking forward to this incredibly exciting challenge”.
