Question-of-the-week
How old are you?
Back in November 2013 there was a poll on the GPWA forums asking how old our affiliate members were and 42.68% responded that they were in their 30s. So, we thought it would be interesting to revisit this question. In addition to agreeing to reveal your age range, please post comments about your past experience, how long you have been an iGaming affiliate and any other information relative to your age. View poll

Should I be concerned? read more
