First Look Games adds Reflex Gaming to its platform
Studio ramps up game promotion via award-winning platform that directly connects developers and affiliates
Reflex Gaming has become the latest developer to get serious about game promotion after joining First Look Games, the powerful and sophisticated platform that directly connects studios and affiliates.
As a fully paid-up member of First Look Games, Reflex Gaming gains access to a brandable library where it can upload information and assets for each of its titles which can then be accessed by a network of approved affiliates.
Reflex Gaming can even offer demo links for each of its games, with player verification that is carried out seamlessly by 1account. This means that affiliates in highly regulated markets such as the UK can still offer demo games to their audiences.
Reflex Gaming has complete control over the assets it shares via its library, and when those assets are made available to affiliates. It can even offer a “first look” to certain affiliates up to two weeks before a new game launches.
This allows affiliates to create content ahead of time, building hype around the title before it hits the market. This is something Reflex Gaming will do with its latest game, 8 Balls of Fire.
8 Balls of Fire takes players to the South Pacific and to the tiny island of Pyro Tiki where they can discover a closely held secret – a volcano that can deliver massive wins. The game is set across six reels and three rows with 20 paylines active and comes packed with features such as Free Spins, Fire Ball Link (a hold and spin bonus), Multipliers, a Pot Pick bonus and more.
Elliott Resnick of First Look Games, said: “We are delighted to add Reflex Gaming to our growing lineup of renowned studios looking to leverage the power of affiliates and promote their titles to the widest possible player audience.
“The First Look Games platform has been designed to allow them to do this with ease while ensuring assets are stored securely.
“Given the high level of competition among studios and the sheer number of titles players have to choose from, engaging with the player community via affiliates is proven to boost awareness of a studio and ultimately participation with its games.”
Mat Ingram, CPO at Reflex Gaming added: “We have an exciting game launch schedule, and the First Look Games collaboration will help us to expand our affiliate offering globally.
“As an omni-channel game studio with a presence in both the online and retail markets, our games are accessible to a wide audience. This cross-platform availability ensures that players become increasingly acquainted with our titles. This partnership will enable us to maximise our reach to a wider player audience.”

SOFTSWISS, a global tech company with over 15 years of experience in iGaming, introduces a new Geo-Distributed Redirect feature of Affilka by SOFTSWISS that helps operators improve engagement and conversion rates by reducing user redirect times.
The Geo-Distributed Redirect feature intelligently routes users to destination landing pages via regional clusters closest to their location. This geo-optimised infrastructure minimises redirect times, increasing successful website visits from referral links. The feature is designed for seamless scalability across multiple regions and enhances performance globally, wherever needed.
With the new feature, Affilka by SOFTSWISS reduced redirect duration by 2.5 to 5 times. At one of the regions, for example, extensive simulated tests showed a decrease in redirect times for users from 1.5 seconds to 300-500 milliseconds – this is one of the fastest responses available in the market. As a result, the feature implementation leads to a 3.5% to 7% growth in users successfully reaching casino sites. This increase in site traffic, in turn, directly contributes to more registrations and deposits.
The Geo-Distributed Redirect feature boosts conversions, accelerates redirects, enhances fault tolerance and high availability, and improves service reliability for users globally. Even during unexpected challenges, the system dynamically reroutes traffic to alternative resources, ensuring a seamless experience.
Gleb Bichan, Product Lead at Affilka by SOFTSWISS, shares his excitement: “With the launch of our Geo-Distributed Redirect feature, we are addressing the needs of clients targeting users worldwide. By reducing redirection times and increasing reliability, we enable our partners to deliver a superior user experience that drives traffic delivery and conversions. This feature is a significant improvement for customers looking to expand their global reach.”
Along with affiliate marketing, SEO website advancement helps operators promote their projects. Considering this, SOFTSWISS issued a comprehensive Casino SEO Audit: The Ultimate Guide, providing tips for increasing any iGaming project’s visibility.
The SOFTSWISS team looks forward to sharing the details of the Geo-Distributed Redirect feature and other product updates at the upcoming SiGMA Europe Expo. Current and potential partners can book a meeting with company representatives at stand 2145 through the contact form.
