AFFILIATE MANAGER INTERVIEW SERIES a new product. In LatAm, the market is different. One license covers almost all major geos. That’s why we decided to come up with a name so that any resident of South America can easily remember it. According toyourwebsite, IguanaAffiliateswas founded by a “team of professionals that has been in thegambling industry for over 20years.” Please tell usmore about the leadership at the company and how it has benefitted you as an affiliate manager as well as the affiliates you partner with.
