GPWA Times Magazine - Issue 39 - November 2017

GPWA AFFILIATE INTERVIEW SERIES When I am at a conference, I like going to the local casinos to see the different venues. I prefer playing blackjack in land-based casinos. It is also good for my websites, as I can write reviews about these venues. How often do you get to see and inter- act with other people in the industry? Have you attended any conferences? Most of the iGB affiliate conferences I at- tend. Also, ICE is on my yearly list. It is always fun hanging out with the people in the industry. What prompted you to join the GPWA? The GPWA was at the London Affiliate Conference in 2013, my first conference. That was the first time I came in contact with the GPWA. On the forum, people are always very help- ful, and I try to be helpful to others too. In the beginning of my career as affiliate, it helped me a lot. The GPWA Times Magazine is my favorite industry magazine. It is very informative and the first magazine I collect at confer- ences. Usually Michael is at the booth and we have a chat. What do you like about the industry? It is all very casual. People are relaxed and having fun. If you could change one thing about the industry, what would it be and why? Fraudsters. You always find casinos who cheat. Or casinos that suddenly say the deal we have stops. I had a casino that I was promoting for years. They threatened to closemy affiliate account if I did not put them in the top position on mywebsite, although that was never agreed. Now I’ve lost all my revenue from them. They closedmy account, and all the players I’d sent them over the years are lost! What do you think the industry will look like in five years? More legaliza- tion than there already is. The countries that haven’t regulated yet will do it. The On the forum, people are always very helpful, and I try to be helpful to others too. In the beginning of my career as affiliate, it helped me a lot. W W W . G P W A T I M E S . O R G 58
