How to Market Online Casino in 2024? SOFTSWISS Shares Free Ebook
Affiliate marketing is a key strategy for online casino operators in 2024, often accounting for 50-80% of player acquisition. SOFTSWISS, a global tech expert with over 15 years of experience providing innovative iGaming solutions, is sharing a free ebook, ‘How to Market Online Casino.’
The ebook provides an in-depth look at various marketing channels, tactics, and the challenges operators face, sharing best practices to navigate daily marketing activities effectively.
The piece relies on a comprehensive survey of leading casino operators and industry stakeholders. Coupled with the extensive expertise of the award-winning SOFTSWISS Marketing team, the ‘How to Market Online Casino’ guide is designed to push the boundaries of casino promotional strategies.
One of the non-obvious strategies described in the ebook is the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) platforms as partners to build trust with the audience. According to SOFTSWISS clients, promoting player trust is a crucial aspect of a successful online casino marketing strategy. Partnering with ADR providers not only aids in dispute resolution but also boosts brand credibility and player trust.
Another beneficial strategy emphasised is the focus on player uniqueness. Rather than imitating big casinos, operators should craft gaming experiences that are unique and tailored to their target audience, ensuring a distinct and engaging online casino experience.
Valentina Bagniya, Chief Marketing Officer at SOFTSWISS, comments: “In the ever-evolving landscape of online casinos, where Google updates, new regulations, and rising costs challenge operators, it’s vital to remember that the core of any online casino is its brand. A strong brand is what players remember, what makes them return, and what defines your reputation among players and competitors.”
This year, SOFTSWISS has published two more free insightful ebooks. The iGaming in South Africa market overview sheds light on the peculiarities of the South African gambling market. The Sportsbook Budget Calculator contains the best practices for sportsbook launching, and the P&L calculator is ready-to-use for project costing.

Ygam and TSB Bank have joined forces to help increase understanding of in-game spending and help young gamers manage their money with confidence.
Ygam and TSB Bank have joined forces to help increase understanding of in-game spending and help young gamers manage their money with confidence.
As part of this collaboration, they have co-created specialist educational resources for schools. Developed with Ygam’s expertise and delivered by TSB Bank staff as part of their school’s programme which runs throughout the UK, the module aims to provide young gamers with practical guidance on managing their money and understanding potential financial risks while gaming.
A recent Censuswide survey of over 2,000 young gamers, commissioned by TSB, found that while the average initial cost of a game is £32, gamers spend an average of £540 annually on in-game purchases and subscriptions. Nearly half (47%) of those who spend money in-game feel they have little or no control over their spending while playing.
Linda Scollins Smith, Director of Programmes at Ygam, said: “Gaming now plays a central role in young people’s lives, offering significant benefits. However, it is always important to safeguard against the risks, and the increasing sophistication of game monetisation through microtransactions and in-game purchases underscores the need for education on this issue. We are delighted to be working with TSB to support their school programmes, combining financial education with gaming education, to help young gamers develop healthy habits and navigate the digital world safely.”
Kate Osiadacz, Head of Responsible Business, TSB, said: “Gaming is often one of young people’s first interactions with spending or managing their money digitally; so we’re pleased to be working with Ygam to reach young people with targeted advice. Our Money Confident schools programme greatly benefits from Ygam’s insight – and we’re keen help empower the next generation to make informed decisions for their financial lives ahead.”
According to a 2024 Mumsnet survey commissioned by Ygam, 88% of parents in the UK believe schools should provide education on gaming, despite only 35% reporting that their children currently do. Furthermore, 99% of these parents think this education should begin by the end of Key Stage 2.
Alongside developing educational resources, Ygam and TSB Bank will collaborate on a range of initiatives throughout 2025 to raise awareness of this issue and support families in avoiding unexpected costs from gaming.

Casino Guru enriches its portfolio with a dedicated sweepstakes casino database and updated safety index
Casino Guru, the global authority on online casino transparency and player safety, is expanding its portfolio with the introduction of a dedicated sweepstakes casino overview tailored to the rapidly evolving U.S. market.
Following months of in-depth research and development, the company has unveiled a new initiative focused on social sweepstakes casinos — a unique and increasingly popular segment of the online gaming space. As part of this expansion, Casino Guru has adapted its trusted Safety Index to reflect the specific characteristics of sweepstakes casino models.
“We’ve been hearing about sweepstakes casinos for quite some time, from social media buzz to community discussions and expert panels,” said Jozef Krucay, Branch Operations Lead at Casino Guru. “It became clear this wasn’t just a passing trend, but a notable shift in how people engage with online entertainment.”
Unlike traditional online casinos, sweepstakes casinos use virtual currencies such as Gold Coins, Sweeps Cash, or Vegas Gems. Players can enjoy games for free or use purchasable coins to enhance their experience. With some luck, they may receive a special sweepstakes currency, which can be redeemed for real-world prizes — presenting both exciting opportunities and important considerations for player protection.
Casino Guru’s newly launched content includes:
- Listings for 11 published sweepstakes casinos, with over 60 more identified and currently in development
- An adapted Safety Index that reflects the distinct risks and rules of sweepstakes platforms
- Educational materials and player resources, including complaint-handling tools
- Planned detailed reviews to provide deeper insights into each platform
“Our goal is to help players navigate this growing space with the same clarity and confidence we’ve brought to traditional online casinos,” Jozef added. “As always, our focus remains on transparency, safety, and informed decision-making.”
This new direction positions Casino Guru at the forefront of player advocacy in emerging casino formats — with a clear path toward future expansion in the broader world of social and sweepstakes gaming.
