GPWA Times Magazine - Issue 48 - December 2020

Over time, new technologies will allow you to more accurately get into the core of the audience. How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected you both professionally and personally? On a professional level, of course, remote work gave me a lot of experience in organizing the process of work. On a personal level, it taught me to appre- ciate little things: walks, meeting friends, etc. I even bought a bicycle and I think this is the best thing that happened to me this summer! Tell us about your typical work day. Oh, we have a super team, we are so close to each other that in the morning, after arriving to work, we all ask each other how we are doing, make coffee and burst into the work process with pleasant cheerful music. And then we communicate with our dear partners, joking, having joint meals and going home in the late evening. That sounds like a great office culture! Megapartners’ office culture is focused on understanding employees and helping partners. We always create a comfortable atmosphere, not only when communicating with a client, but also within the team. It’s important not to write down any rules on a piece of paper that no one reads. The responsibility of the person is to work, aspiration and burning eyes - these are the most important things. Megapartners is all about results, dedication, simplicity and friendship. Do you gamble? I don’t gamble, I don’t feel pleasure from it. I love to spend my free time for the benefit of myself. What are your hobbies? What takes up your time when you are not working? My favorite leisure activity is P lease tell us about the Megapartner brands (Megapari. c om and Megaslot.com) and what makes them attractive t o players. MegaPari was launched on a Curacao license in 2019 w ith sports, casino, poker, esports – everything above is on one site, w hich is very convenient for players. Speaking about the geolocation, t here is almost the whole world, with the exception of a few countries. F or most countries, local payments are also connected. Besides, we al so have our own super cool support and retention teams. MegaSlot is our new casino project, which we launched not so long a go under the Malta license. On this product, we mostly focus on E uropean countries, but we are ready to test other countries as well. E verything is on the same level with payment systems. There are l ocal and standard ones on this product. I would also like to draw y our attention to the fact that we connect only the best gaming p roviders and update slots every week. H ow does Megapartners work to retain players sent b y affiliates? For this, we have our own retention team on each p roject, which monitors the activity of our players, as well as a support te am that helps players with any questions, which, I think, is really i mportant. And, of course, the managers (here we have jacks of all tr ades), who also look after the players and, if they see big wins, ask t o contact these players first. What are the main keys for an affiliate and affiliate man- a ger to build a strong and long-lasting relationship? I t hink the attitude is the main thing! It seems to me that there is a very g ood phrase—treat people the way you would like to be treated. Agree! It ’s nice when people can write to you just like that and ask how you ar e doing, without any subtext, just because they want to know how y ou are doing! When such a relationship is between a manager and a partner, long term relationships happen by themselves! What would be your advice to an affiliate just getting s tarted in the business? Don’t be afraid to take risks, always f ollow all updates and test, test and test everything again! All top p artners once started from scratch and they also didn’t succeed in e verything at once, but they believed in themselves, trust me! What do you think will be some of the biggest changes t o the industry over the next three to five years? Mega- p artners is monitoring the changes in the industry. It is likely that o ver the next three to five years, players will make more informed c hoices, gradually increasing the pace. T he industry is developing rapidly. We believe that bets will be made in VR format soon. Imagine: you are at an event, and right t here, wearing glasses, you bet on the event. T he development of social media allows you to interact with the a udience better. Ads are already on TikTok. The trend for advertising i n affiliate marketing is gaining momentum, and we are sure to see c ompletely new tools: VR integrations, full immersion in podcasts a nd videos, and native advertising present in completely different p arts of the internet.
