GPWA Times Magazine - Issue 39 - November 2017

You’re relatively new to our forums. What prompted you to join the GPWA? The GPWA is a great place to chat with other affiliates and to get advice and help. There are a lot of very knowledgeable peo- ple on there, and I spend a few hours a week reading posts. It is a good place to go to keep up with the industry, as there is so much happening all the time. The GPWA seal is also a big draw to being involved with the GPWA. What do you like about the industry? I love how fast-paced and ever-changing the industry is. It is a massive industry that spreads to every corner of the globe. Things never stand still; there is always something new and something to update. If you could change one thing about the industry, what would it be and why? I hate the amount of spam that I get every single day via e-mail. It is ridiculously annoying and needs stopping. What do you think the industry will look like in five years? It is difficult to see where the industry will go from here, oth- er than to get bigger. I think live casinos and live poker will be a lot more popular, given how far they have come in the last few years. It will be interesting to see what happens over in the U.S. now that Donald Trump is in power. It will be a massive market if it opens up. What do your family and friends think of your work as an affiliate? Most are quite jealous of the fact I can work any- where, anytime. Some understand what I do; others think I work as a bookmaker or work for an operator. How do you manage your to-do lists? Do you use any special software to help you out? I use Google Keep and Calendar – I would be lost without those two. I do like old-school sticky notes and a pen and paper, too, when I am in my office. Howmuch time do you devote to social networking for your sites? Not a huge amount. I think Twitter and Facebook are saturated now with affiliates. It will be interesting to see what comes along next, as I think a lot of people are bored GPWA AFFILIATE INTERVIEW SERIES Most of us spend more time on our phones and tablets than we do on a desktop or laptop. Nearly everyone has a phone and we all use apps every day . . . I have a lot of friends who bet regularly on their phones and apps and never use the operator’s website. W W W . G P W A T I M E S .
