Back to the Future For many years, ICE London and iGB Affiliate London, held in February, have served as an annual kick off to the New Year for our industry. They have long been two of the most highly anticipated events on the iGaming calendar and the impact of going more than two years without them due to the global pandemic was tangible. So, when we were finally able to congregate in the U.K. back in April for the regular schedule of seminars, time spent on the exhibition floor and networking parties, it was like one big reunion for our industry. Simply put, it felt fantastic to be back. That said, we are pleased to present the 53rd edition of the GPWA Times Magazine, which will be available at iGB Affiliate Amsterdam, another well-attended, popular event on the iGaming calendar. In this issue, we have plenty of photos that capture all of the action from London in our photo gallery. In addition, our cover story discusses the proliferation of women’s sports and women betting on sports, both of which present unique opportunities for affiliates and operators, particularly with the 2023 Women’s World Cup on the horizon. Elsewhere, Michael Schumann from NoLimit-Casinos.de breaks down the German iGaming market and the confusion that has surrounded it, while regular contributor Maria Tsnompilantze writes about the ups and downs of being an affiliate and why you need to plan ahead for the inevitable bumps in the road. Also, in the following pages we present our regular departments and features, including affiliate interviews with two GPWA members, a pair of affiliate manager Q&As, a look at bingo site owner rankings and how they have changed, courtesy of iGamingDirectory.com, and we induct another deserving member to the APCW Wall of Shame. If you are attending iGB Affiliate Amsterdam, we hope you will stop by the GPWA stand and say hello.
