The GPWA team is exhibiting there with a stand and a fresh stack of print copies of the magazine, so if you’re attending, please come find us and say hello. We’d genuinely love to talk shop, hear how your year is going, and put faces to forum names. It’s hard to miss the main theme running through this issue: AI is no longer a side conversation. John Wright from StatsDrone makes the case that 2026 belongs to AI agents, and explains why affiliates using AI only for meta descriptions are barely scratching the surface. Our From the Forums department captures a lively GPWA thread on when AI content actually works for SEO and when it quietly falls apart. But this issue goes well beyond AI. Emily Haruko of Saroca looks at why affiliate relationships break down and what real repair takes. Erica Anderson of Income Access examines prediction markets in our cover story, explaining why this fast-growing vertical may be the most affiliate-friendly product in iGaming right now. We also feature affiliate Q&As with Nicolás Erramuspe of Betizen.org and Sonja Popovic of WYN Global Media, plus an Affiliate Program Interview with Miruna Pandele of Rainbet. As always, you’ll find our photo galleries, recapping a record-breaking ICE and iGB Affiliate Barcelona and a standout SBC Summit Malta, along with the latest inductee to the APCW Wall of Shame. Thank you for being part of the GPWA community and for making the magazine part of your reading. Your feedback and conversations are a big part of what makes this worthwhile. Enjoy the issue, and if our paths cross in London, I hope you stop by and say hello. Sincerely, Michael Corfman P.S. Subscriptions to the GPWA Times Magazine are FREE! Don’t miss an issue.
