applied to an affiliate site. The idea is that users visit operators, spend time on Betizen, play games, and share their experiences — and those contributions return to them in the form of karma. They can use that karma to vote, share it with others, or influence the rankings. Users who distribute the most karma rise to the top of the monthly leaderboard — and the top users get great perks: bonuses, free spins, jackpot alerts, special support, and more. That’s what we want to build: a community driven by contribution, transparency, and real rewards for top collaborators. It’s a fun experiment we are actively coding. If you’ve got ideas or want to join as a brand or sponsor, let’s talk! Even the code and roadmap are open! So the mechanisms are transparent. What is the crypto, forex, and binary market like these days, and how has it changed over the years? As I mentioned earlier, just look at prediction markets and the principles they’re built on. Big shifts are happening around trust and transparency — and we affiliates need to be ready to meet those new user expectations. This demand for verifiable transparency will only increase with each new wave of GenAi developments. That is where quality blockchains and tokenization have a place. That is also where stablecoins for agentic commerce also have a place. Just as the coding world changed forever so will these markets or their inner workings. How do you balance managing the site with your work at Cubiq? One milestone at a time. We have an ambitious roadmap for 2026 and 2027, ranging from payments, backend and AI services focused in LATAM, to apps and experiments like Betizen. Once we ship all milestones for this initial phase, we will just keep integrating Claude Code and OpenCode to our pipeline, building, pivoting and deploying great ideas. What lessons from your early ventures would you say were the most influential in shaping your approach to affiliate marketing? The idea that brands, affiliate managers, affiliates, and users together create a system of trust — or mistrust. And today, that system needs to be more verifiable and auditable than ever. How important is content to driving traffic on Betizen? Can you share insights on organic traffic performance or audience engagement? Betizen is transitioning from primarily LatAm traffic to a more global audience. We had solid numbers from Brazil, which dropped after recent events — but in hindsight, that was a good thing. It pushed me to rethink the whole concept of affiliation. These days, organic doesn’t necessarily mean Google — less and less, actually. I think traffic will move from blue links in a search results page, to be embedded into life, with fewer device interfaces, and AI as the backend. So, trying to build a reliable system of trust through a brand that delivers its simple promises, over time, I think it will be the key. For the moment, we keep having fun with over-optimizations and backlinks. GPWA AFFILIATE INTERVIEW SERIES about His favorite book is: The Constitution of Liberty by Friedrich A.
