Affiliate Roulette: Bridging the Gap in the iGaming Affiliate Industry
Affiliate Roulette, the groundbreaking platform for iGaming Operators and their Affiliate Managers, has officially launched, setting a new
standard for the iGaming Affiliate industry. Designed to bridge the gap between Operators and Affiliates, the platform offers a unique space for verified Operators to rate, review, and share performance data about any Affiliate Company they’ve collaborated with.
About Affiliate Roulette
Affiliate Roulette is not just another review site. It’s a community–driven platform that thrives on the participation and contribution of its members. The platform’s mission is to streamline affiliation, eliminating the guesswork from decision–making processes and providing a single source for both Operators and Affiliates to promote, interact, and collaborate, building mutually beneficial relationships.
Benefits for All
For Operators, the platform is a goldmine. It saves time, reduces overhead, and offers insights into an affiliate’s past performance, ensuring informed decisions. The platform also provides a space for Operators to add new affiliates, leave feedback, or request insights.
Affiliates, on the other hand, gain a platform to showcase their brand, build a reputation, and directly connect with potential customers. With features like company profile uploads, rankings, reviews, and exposure through newsletters, Affiliates can establish a trusted industry rating.
What Sets Affiliate Roulette Apart
Drawing inspiration from Trustpilot, Affiliate Roulette aims to be the primary source for both Operators and Affiliates to meet and build relationships. With no current regulations on affiliates and no public platform for past work reviews, Affiliate Roulette fills this void, ensuring transparency and trustworthiness.
Founder’s Vision
With over five years in the iGaming industry, the founder of Affiliate Roulette recognized the need for a platform that could foster genuine connections between Affiliates and Operators. “Bridging the gap between Operators and Affiliates has always been our vision. We’re here to be the trusted source for Operators to find and review affiliates, essentially becoming the Trust Pilot of iGaming Affiliates,” says the founder.
Impressive Launch Figures
In just three weeks since its launch, Affiliate Roulette has seen an addition of over 400 Affiliate Profiles and received 50+ rankings and reviews. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the platform’s innovative approach to addressing industry needs.
Special Launch Promotions
To celebrate the launch, Affiliate Roulette is offering free membership for Operators and their Affiliate Managers. Affiliates can submit a basic company profile for free, with premium services available at a nominal monthly fee of €25. Featured Spots and Premium Site Placement upgrades are also available for Affiliates looking to be seen.
Testimonials
“The platform is exactly what the industry needed. It’s a brilliant idea that’s already making waves,” says an early user.
Affilka by SOFTSWISS reports its business performance in Q1 2025, continuing its steady growth as one of the industry’s leading affiliate marketing platforms.
The first quarter of the year marked a period of significant achievements for Affilka by SOFTSWISS. In January, it was named Affiliate Company of the Year at the International Gaming Awards 2025, highlighting its growing recognition in the industry.
In the first three months of 2025, 44 new brands joined the Affilka platform, bringing the total number to over 450 brands. During the same period, affiliate GGR rose by 2.7%, the number of visits increased by 3.1%, and affiliate payments grew by 13.2% compared to Q4 2024. Overall, Affilka now supports over 400 thousand affiliate accounts (+23.1% vs Q4 2024) and tracks more than 98 million registered players, up from 87 million in Q4 2024.
Alongside its financial gains, Affilka maintains an active pace of product development. The team is now preparing to release a new feature: Cross-Brand Player Duplicate Detection. It will enable operators to detect identical player accounts across multiple brands within a single affiliate program. The tool will allow operators to optimise their marketing costs and improve traffic quality.
The innovation is the third major update released by Affilka in the last six months. Earlier, the platform introduced the Geo-Distributed Redirect feature, which reduces user redirect times by fivefold and boosts player conversion. The most recent tool, the Cohort Analysis Report, enables operators to track and evaluate player behaviour more effectively.
“Affiliate marketing is evolving fast, and Affilka evolves with it,” says Anastasia Borovaya, Head of Affilka by SOFTSWISS. “We’re focused on helping our partners meet emerging challenges – whether that means offering new ways to analyse player behaviour, refine traffic strategy, or cut costs without losing efficiency. The Cross-Brand Duplicate Detection tool is one more example of how we turn real-world operator needs into functional, high-impact solutions.”
Anastasia Borovaya recently participated as a guest lecturer at the Academy of Gaming Operations, where she led a session on the Affiliate Management course. She is expected to return to teach the course again in the second half of 2025.

Tech-driven affiliate and media company Already Media has acquired Live Casino Comparer for an undisclosed sum.
Live Casino Comparer is a well-established review portal focused on the live dealer niche. It was founded in 2014, and its team brings more than 30 years of casino experience to every review it publishes.
The site’s founder, Neil Walker, will stay on both as an advisor and an active part of the content team, helping to scale Live Casino Comparer’s output across both the B2C and B2B verticals.
Already Media will also rebuild the site’s platform and has plans to enter into new geos and content formats.
The deal was brokered by Corfai, the specialist M&A advisory founded by Ben Robinson.
Alina Famenok, CEO at Already Media, said: “This is another landmark for Already Media, as we continue to acquire brands that expand our reach and can benefit from our technology. We’re excited to get to work alongside Neil to take Live Casino Comparer to new heights. Huge thanks to Ben and the Corfai team for helping us close this deal in just two weeks, which is surely the fastest M&A deal in iGaming history.”
Neil Walker, founder at Live Casino Comparer, added: “I couldn’t be more excited to begin this new chapter for Live Casino Comparer as part of the Already Media team. They bring the technical and operational firepower to scale globally, while keeping the spirit of honest, expert-driven reviews at the core.”
The acquisition aligns with Already Media’s strategy of acquiring trusted affiliate brands and elevating them through its technology-led approach.
Last year, the company acquired PokerListings, and has since migrated it to a new platform, entered new regions and developed a vibrant community around the brand.
