SRDJAN KAPOR | BitStarz How did you get into this line of work? What have some of your biggest chal- lenges been as an affiliate manager? Before I came to BitStarz, I was a product owner at AskGamblers. Looking back now, I think being on another side of the business enabled me to get into all as- pects of the industry and really helped me understand the needs of affiliates – and therefore helped me feel more comfort- able in my new role, as well. Of course, switching sides is always challenging. For example, although I love talking with people, after a more-or-less quiet job, I’m still coping with getting used to around- the-clock communication. BitStarz puts a big focus on bitcoin. Can you explain the advantages of bitcoin versus other currencies? Do most play- ers use bitcoin at the casino? The biggest advantage of using bitcoin is that you can deposit andwithdraw your money almost instantly. It still comes down to the casino to process the withdrawals, which we at BitStarz do within 10 minutes, on average, which is unheard-of inmany other casinos. This means that bitcoin is the fastest and most convenient payment method. When it comes to BitStarz, we shouldn’t forget that we are also very generous with bitcoin bonuses. At BitStarz, you can get up to 5 bitcoin in deposit bonuses, plus 200 The affiliate managers in this issue are always looking for ways to make affiliates’ lives easier. Srdjan Kapor of BitStarz found that bitcoin is the way to go in terms of making transactions easier for affiliates, while Sara Klimper of Lapalingo emphasized the casino’s focus on “bettertainment,” one aspect of a user-friendly gaming experience. Both enjoy working closely with people, so if you see them at an affiliate conference, make sure you stop by and say hello! Meet the Affiliate Managers AFFILIATE MANAGER INTERVIEW SERIES W W W .
