Gaming Americas takes a closer look at how the popular online casino affiliate is educating players and putting the power in their hands to find the best online casinos

Players are always looking for new casinos to play at and bonuses to claim. But in a market where there are literally hundreds of brands to explore, finding reputable sites that offer the experiences they are seeking is easier said than done.

While casinos spend big on branding and marketing, a lot of players turn to affiliate sites to get the lowdown on each brand so that they can decide if it’s the right casino for them or not. These sites also act as an additional layer of trust as players know they have already been vetted by the affiliate.

One of the most established and trusted affiliates is Casino.org which has been helping players to go beyond the hype being generated by casino brands and educate players in terms of what they need to consider before deciding to sign up and play at a site for almost 20 years.

The site has earned a reputation among players for the quality of its casino reviews. Each brand listed on the site is put through an extensive 25-step process to determine the score it receives including security and trust, games, bonuses, banking, mobile, localisation and customer support.

This is to ensure that all aspects of the player journey and experience are taken into account and so that the casino receives a fair score for what it has to offer.

Casino.org’s team of reviewers are always objective when putting a casino through its paces and is not afraid to highlight any areas where it has been marked down. This is because the site believes that transparency and honesty is key to fostering player trust.

Alexander Korsager, General Manager at Casino.org, says: “There remains a lack of trust between players and the online casinos they sign up to and play at, and that’s why we have developed such a comprehensive review process.

“We want players to be able to have all the information they need about a casino so they can decide whether it’s right for them or not. This means being honest about what is good and bad about each brand. Of course, we only list the top brands in each market.”

Beyond its casino reviews, Casino.org has built a comprehensive “learning hub” packed with articles, features, interviews and guides so that players can further educate themselves about playing at online casinos.

Topics covered include how to play casino games, how to gamble responsibly, how live dealer works and a vast FAQ section that answers some of the most common questions players have.

It’s also rolled out a dedicated video series that talks players through how to play the game of roulette including how to get started, six betting strategies and the difference between European and American roulette.

“Our learning hub has proved to be incredibly popular with players,” says Korsager. “It arms them with the knowledge and understanding they need to make the most of the time they have at an online casino, especially when it comes to playing games like blackjack and roulette.

“Player education is an area where we are looking to stand out and our learning hub is a very effective way of going about this.”

All of the content written and published by Casino.org – including its famous casino reviews – is produced by gambling experts. The team is made up of online casino players with deep experience and an unrivalled understanding of what makes for a good online casino.

This is a major factor in the affiliate’s rise to the top of the industry and why it is so deeply trusted by players in more than 100 countries across the world.

“Casino.org is on the side of the player and our team of experts ensure that we produce content that is detailed, accurate and correct, says Korsager. “Players come to us for our honest opinions and insights, and we can only deliver this because of the truly incredible team that we have in place.

“We have been supporting players on their mission to find new online casinos and bonuses for almost 20 years now and plan to be doing it for the next two decades and beyond.”

The Danish Gambling Authority Warns of Money Laundering Risks When Using Affiliates

The Danish Gambling Authority has become aware that money laundering can occur through affiliates who market for gambling operators. Gambling operators that use affiliates should therefore consider whether this gives rise to updating their risk assessment.

An affiliate is a marketing channel where a person or company makes money by marketing for, for example, a gambling operator. The general consumer protection and marketing rules and the Gambling Act’s rules on marketing and communication also apply to affiliates. An affiliate earns money from the agreement by, for example, attracting new customers via their own website or through their own social network to the gambling operator’s website with a link. The link is generated specifically for the affiliate. The affiliate receives payment for the referral (pay per click), or a certain percentage of the amount the new customer deposits into their account.

How criminals can exploit affiliate agreements with gambling operators

In affiliate agreements with an individual or a company, there is an inherent risk that a gambling operator will be misused for money laundering. Particularly organized criminal networks can exploit an affiliate agreement. Networks of organized criminals can refer a large number of people within their criminal network as customers using the link to a gambling operator. A larger amount of illegal funds can be deposited into customers’ gambling accounts, which will not initially look suspicious, as the amount is distributed among several people in the criminal’s network. The deposited funds can subsequently be paid out to customers, possibly after play-through from their gambling accounts. This approach will make it look like legitimate winnings from gambling, and at the same time the affiliate increases its profit by having brought more new customers to the gambling operator, who according to the affiliate agreement is usually paid per additional new customer.

Signs of money laundering through affiliates

The Danish Gambling Authority points out that gambling operators may risk being misused for money laundering through these affiliate agreements. It may indicate that a gambling operator is being misused for money laundering by its affiliate if a majority of the customers referred by the affiliate only use the gambling operator’s website once and then no longer use the gambling operator’s services. It may therefore be relevant to assess whether entering into an affiliate agreement gives rise to updating one’s risk assessment.
