  • Motorland Aragón hosts intensive Extreme E test in build-up to inaugural season
  • W Series Champion Jamie Chadwick demonstrates driving prowess in Spain
  • Veloce Racing set to battle it out against Lewis Hamilton’s X44, Nico Rosberg’s RXR and Andretti United amongst others

Veloce Racing has completed its first official Extreme E test, recording two days of running (18-19 December) with its ODYSSEY 21 across two off-road circuit variants at Motorland Aragón, Spain. Overall, the test was deemed a resounding success with the team gathering vital driver feedback and data ahead of the Saudi Arabian season-opener.

The test was also the first opportunity for drivers to experience the car at its maximum output of 400kW (550bhp), as the power had been limited during the team’s previous shakedowns at Château de Lastours in France.

Veloce Racing was at the sharp end for the duration as its drivers put the all-wheel drive, electric SUV through its paces, regularly topping the timesheets in the process.

The team’s first driver signing, Jamie Chadwick, utilised all of the skills that earned her the titles of W Series Champion and Williams F1 Development Driver, setting strong lap times as she continued her off-road racing apprenticeship.

Meanwhile, Veloce Racing was evaluating two world-class drivers to fill the remaining seat at the team. Both were on the pace from the outset around the 3.1km and 1km courses. The full driver line-up will be announced in early 2021.

Daniel Bailey, CEO, Veloce Racing, commented:

“It was absolutely fantastic to see our dream become a reality at Motorland last week. It really was amazing to see all the cars and teams lined up in a competitive test. Extreme E has done an amazing job to pull this together this year, of all the years, and what a boost to see the Veloce Racing car quick and competitive straight out of the box. We are all so pumped and ready for 2021.”

Rupert Svendsen-Cook, Managing Director of Sporting and Operations, Veloce Racing added:

“Walking into a paddock full of world champions and massive names from all over motorsport was something very special. Extreme E is certainly the hot ticket and we are immensely proud to be amongst it, and the icing on the cake was to be so competitive.  There is a long journey ahead and we are aware of the huge amount of talent and success around us. It really does seem like the best sort of blue sky thinking in the midst of such a taxing year, and we at Veloce Racing will be counting down the days to that first race in Saudi.”

The Veloce Racing ODYSSEY 21 will now return to the workshop before departing on the St Helena in mid-February, the floating Extreme E paddock will then head for AlUla, Saudi Arabia (20-21 March) before moving on to Dakar, Senegal (29-30 May), Kangerlussuaq, Greenland (28-29 August), Para, Brazil (23-24 October) and Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina (11-12 December).

How to avoid failing at affiliate marketing in 2024?

Reading Time: 4 minutes

The evolving landscape of affiliate marketing within the iGaming ecosystem presents both opportunities and challenges due to regulatory shifts. Adapting to these changes is crucial to navigate the dynamic environment effectively. Slotegrator experts exploring strategies to avoid pitfalls globally and adopting adaptable approaches can optimize affiliate marketing amidst evolving regulations.

The iGaming industry has had to focus on a number of changes in the area of affiliate marketing –  as a result of regulatory and advertising changes.

Beyond that, it’s important to keep in mind another important key initiatives that include key components of a successful affiliate program:

  • The quality of the content the affiliate creates.
  • Regulations the affiliate or affiliate program might be subject to.
  • This is especially important if the affiliate expects a commission for every sign-up. If the affiliate is getting paid for every player they send your way, the players need to stay for a while for it to be worth it.
  • An ongoing analysis of the size and quality of traffic the affiliate is delivering you.

To know more about these points you can read an instruction from the Slotegrator Academy by link.

The changes have not only affected the regulatory environment of the iGaming industry, but also affiliate marketing as a result of the general changes. What is important to look out for?

Slotegrator shares some regional specifics of affiliate marketing:

  • Asia is a diverse and dynamic region for affiliate marketing in the iGaming industry. Affiliates operating in Asia have to navigate complex regulatory conditions and varying cultural attitudes. Marketing managers have to employ strategies that prioritize mobile channelization, collaboration with opinion leaders, and compliance with local laws — all of which are essential to success.
  • Affiliate marketing in Africa is still in its early stages but is already showing significant potential. With the increasing availability of the internet and the spread of smartphones, the continent is opening up opportunities for affiliates to reach a fast-growing market. However, factors such as regulatory uncertainty, payment processing difficulties, and the cultural diversity of the region need to be taken into account.
  • In Latin America working with local affiliates who have a deep understanding of the regional market helps to better customize marketing campaigns and achieve higher conversion rates. Given the strict regulation of gambling in some Latin American countries, it is important to comply with local laws and advertising restrictions to avoid negative consequences.
  • Affiliate marketing in Europe is a dynamic and competitive landscape where effective strategies and a professional approach can ensure significant business success and growth in the iGaming sector. One of the important parts of affiliate marketing in Europe is the use of a variety of channels to build audiences. It helps to diversify and increase the flow of traffic to the partner’s site, which helps to increase conversion rates. Careful research of each country’s rules and restrictions is needed regarding the advertising and promotion of gambling.

Alyce Fabel from CasinoRIX, Slotegrator’s media partner, summarizes key aspects for affiliate companies to concentrate on.“As each year passes, affiliates must strive to improve and keep pace with the market. Competition is growing, regulations are evolving, and that brings changes to many regions. We can highlight five key points for affiliate companies to focus on:

  • Continuously search for and acquire new traffic channels. It’s crucial not to focus only on one channel; diversification is necessary. This has been particularly evident in the past year, with significant changes and updates in SEO and mobile traffic (iOS/Android applications).
  • Ensure content quality. As AI tools continue to advance, it’s essential not only to learn to apply them in work but also to differentiate content written by humans from AI-generated content (especially crucial for SEO projects).
  • Configure deep analytics. Constantly work on improving traffic quality and understand where to make enhancements. The standards for traffic quality are rising.
  • Provide added value. It’s time to start developing the product aspect as well, thinking not only as an affiliate but also about providing customers with additional value. This will also help in achieving higher-quality marketing.”

Cultivate relationships with partners. Build strong and lasting relationships, stay informed about all industry changes and news, and keep up with technologies and innovations. This is crucial for achieving high results.

And some words about the affiliate marketing trends as a compass to guide development efforts in this area in the right direction. Khoren Ispiryan, sales manager at Slotegrator, and the speaker of the latest Prague Gaming & TECH Summit ‘24, shares some insights:

  • “The best thing is to include real people in the affiliate marketing. To create an environment where bloggers, streamers and influencers will make a bigger impact on the end user behavior.
  • In 2024, gambling companies will continue to partner with influencers and other internet celebrities. These partnerships will be increasingly effective methods of attracting new audiences, promoting products, and increasing brand awareness.
  • Loyalty programs and other ways of enhancing the user experience will also be essential for the promotion of gambling websites.
  • The development of partner relationship management software will be a major priority. It will help improve usability for affiliate partners and enable better communication between companies and affiliates. For instance, Partnergrator from Slotegrator offers a solution for online gambling platform operators who face difficulties in tracking their affiliate program data. This innovative solution provides the ability to manage and analyze affiliate programs in real-time, using analytics to simplify the decision-making process.”
