Not long ago, affiliate marketing in iGaming worked on a simple principle: the faster you pushed traffic, and the more of it you delivered, the bigger the payout. However, the industry has matured. Operators are no longer willing to invest heavily in undifferentiated traffic streams in the hope of a lucky conversion. Expectations have risen: affiliates must now deliver not only scale but also predictability, transparency, and consistent quality. At the heart of this shift is traffic segmentation – a strategic approach that enables both advertisers and affiliates to manage campaigns with far greater precision, setting new benchmarks for collaboration across the industry. The strategic value of segmentation was highlighted at Sempro Fest, where Valentyn Halchuk, Head of Business Development at Makeberry Affiliates, shared his team’s experience. By applying strict segmentation, Makeberry Affiliates drives traffic worth millions of dollars each...

You launched an ad, the offer is top-notch, the creatives are catchy — but there’s silence at the exit. Zero conversions, the budget is going down the drain. Sounds familiar? And you’re already starting to suspect everyone: the affiliate, the advertiser, the algorithms, even Mercury in retrograde. But often the problem is more banal — you’ve led traffic to the wrong place. Because there are two different “gates” for the user: landing and pre-landing. One immediately pulls you to purchase or register, the other pauses and explains why it’s worth clicking further. And if you mix up the roles of these pages, you can burn the connection before it even has time to earn its first dollar. In this article, we’ll analyze: what are landing and pre-landing, how do they differ, in which cases do they work, and when do...

Or what if the affiliate program is new, but the product is already well-known? Godlike Partners is a direct affiliate program (no intermediaries) under Olymp Casino.

In 2025, memes have become a part of marketing funnels as organically as Facebook targeting or push notifications. In arbitrage chats, communities, and TikTok, they don't just make you laugh, they warm up the audience, break down the brand-customer barrier, and make people like things they would never click "Buy." Why is this? Because memes are a universal language of trust. They are not perceived as advertising, they create a sense of "one of their own" and disperse content across communities faster than any selling banner. And most importantly, it's the cheapest way to warm up a cold audience before you pitch them a commercial offer. Let's see how memes fit into the funnel, why they sometimes sell better than offers, and how to measure their effectiveness so that you don't end up being just "the same brand that makes...
