Alpha Affiliates, the industry-leading affiliate marketing company, celebrates its 11th anniversary, announcing significant milestone achievements in 2023. The company’s dedication to providing outstanding affiliate services for the iGaming community has resulted in remarkable growth and recognition on both a national and international scale, achieving over 15,000 partners across more than 50 countries, and over 2,000,000 players worldwide.
2023 was a year of expansion for Alpha Affiliates, with the company witnessing an 20% upsurge in new partners this year. The company expanded its affiliate community, establishing connections with new, high-performing webmasters while also strengthening relationships with existing partners. These relationships have been key to their recent growth, allowing for a wide-spanning reach in over 50 countries worldwide and strengthening Alpha Affiliates’ position in global markets.
The impressive growth comes as a result of Alpha Affiliates’ newly introduced, and enhanced, product portfolio consisting of new iGaming brands, including Spinch, Rakoo, and Casino Infinity, and revamped existing products, to cater to diverse player preferences across online casinos and sports betting platforms. All of these products will be displayed at SiGMA Malta in November, where Alpha Affiliates will be in attendance, allowing attendees to meet the team and discover the company’s second-to-none approach to affiliate marketing.
Innovation remains a priority focus in 2023. Alpha Affiliates has continued to invest in cutting-edge technologies and analytical tools to provide affiliates with comprehensive data insights, drive traffic, and conversions with innovative marketing strategies. Its goal is to ensure maximum ROI through Alpha Affiliates’ data-driven approach to optimize user acquisition, all while complying to iGaming regulations across countries. The company’s efforts in this sector have been recognised by Affpapa who have awarded the title of “Affiliate Network of the Year”.
As part of Alpha Affiliate’s celebration of recent achievements, the company held its 13th anniversary “Alpha Party” in Cyprus last month where partners enjoyed a wonderful evening. Now, the company is going a step further, giving back to their community with the launch of its exciting “Affiliate Race” – a raffle offering top-performing partners a chance to compete for prizes and a spot in the coveted Alpha Affiliates Hall of Fame. With over €200,000 up for grabs, and Alpha-branded rings (inspired by the legendary NBA championship rings) which grant access to exclusive events, the race is set to be Alpha Affiliates’ biggest and most competitive promotion yet.
In the past year, Alpha Affiliates has welcomed sustained and successful growth, having appointed Irina Makarova as new Chief Marketing Officer, Vladimir Pisanko as Head of PSP, and Nikita Tsarenko as Head of Analytics, who will take part in ensuring consistent success for the company. In the coming year, Alpha Affiliates plans to strengthen its global reach and partner network, expanding into LATAM markets with WinToro, Alpha Affiliate’s new Sportsbook offer, and helping affiliates achieve their growth and revenue potential with an increasing product portfolio.
Boris Pashnev, Head of Affiliates, comments, “We’re extremely proud and humbled to have achieved all that we have in the past year. This success is evidence of our hard work in our industry, allowing us to achieve a very successful year with incredible growth, welcoming new Alpha Affiliates members.
We will continue to provide the best affiliate service for our partners while ensuring we are continuously growing and developing to better service the industry and celebrate more milestones ahead.”

MLB Players Inc., a commercial affiliate of the Major League Baseball Players Association, and OneTeam Partners announced they’ve reached a licensing agreement with PENN Entertainment.
The agreement designates PENN’s sports betting platforms – ESPN BET in the U.S. and theScore BET in Canada – as Officially Licensed Sportsbooks of MLBPI.
PENN now has the rights to use MLB player names, images and likenesses on its sports betting platforms, marketing assets and promotional campaigns.
The deal also includes PENN’s retail sportsbook operations (32 retail sportsbooks at its casino properties, including 19 under the ESPN BET brand).
Last fall, FanDuel and MLBPI reached a similar licensing agreement after the MLB players’ union sued FanDuel and Underdog Fantasy in New York Supreme Court, accusing them of using the names and likeness of ballplayers on their players without permission.
”As baseball season gets underway, we’re excited to offer fans an enhanced betting experience that includes player likenesses, expanded wagering options and a more dynamic product. Partnering with MLB Players Inc. strengthens our connection to the league and its star players and creates additional opportunities to engage fans throughout the season,” said Jason Birney, Vice President of Operations at PENN Interactive.
OneTeam Partners specializes in commercializing group licensing rights for professional athlates, and is a joint venture between the NFL Players Association, MLB Players Association, Women’s National Basketball Players Association, MLS Players Association, and U.S. Women’s National Team Players Association.
“By integrating MLB player rights into PENN Entertainment’s platforms, this partnership brings fans closer to the game while unlocking new business opportunities in sports betting. It highlights the growing influence of players in shaping premium, fan-focused betting experiences while enhancing player NIL rights and widening distribution,” said Frank Arthofer, President of OneTeam Partners.

Caesars Entertainment Debuts its First Live Dealer Studio Inside One of its Caesars Rewards Destinations
Caesars Entertainment Inc. announced the launch of its first branded, live dealer studio inside one of its world-class destinations made possible through its partnership with Evolution. The debut of the space inside Tropicana Atlantic City in New Jersey marks the second custom studio made for Caesars live dealer offerings on its online casino platforms following the launch of its first such studio in Pennsylvania earlier this year.
Players 21 and older on Caesars’ online gaming platforms Caesars Palace Online Casino, Horseshoe Online Casino, and Caesars Sportsbook & Casino can now enjoy a live dealer experience on mobile that draws inspiration from table game play at the Las Vegas Strip’s most iconic casino, Caesars Palace.
“The opening of this branded studio at one of our Caesars Rewards destinations introduces the newest addition to our ever-expanding online gaming platforms. We’re always striving to marry the world-class experiences our players enjoy at our destinations with the online casino play they love,” said Matt Sunderland, Senior Vice President and Chief iGaming Officer at Caesars Digital.
The New Jersey studio features five blackjack tables, which includes a VIP-exclusive blackjack table, one baccarat table and one roulette table. The tables feature custom felts with imagery and branding from iconic Caesars destinations on the Las Vegas Strip including Caesars Palace & Horseshoe. The studio also caters to VIP players, much like Caesars Rewards destinations, with a VIP-exclusive blackjack table offering an authentic 1-to-1 live high-limit blackjack experience, that could previously only be found in a physical casino.
“Evolution is thrilled to open a second dedicated Caesars live dealer studio inside Tropicana Atlantic City. This studio was made possible through our close partnership with Caesars. Once fully operational, it will generate approximately two hundred job opportunities in Atlantic City. We’re very proud to see a concrete example of how iGaming helps to create jobs and develop the workforce in our local communities,” said Jacob Claesson, Chief Executive Officer of Evolution North America.
Caesars Palace Online Casino, Horseshoe Online Casino, and Caesars Sportsbook & Casino are available on iOS, Android, and desktop for those 21 and older in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ontario, and West Virginia. Each platform offers a dynamic online casino experience with a range of unique Caesarsbranded games alongside hundreds of classic land-based casino favorites and core casino game mechanics, including high limit slots, private live dealer tables, linked progressive jackpots, variations of poker and roulette, and more.
