How Casino.org is helping players go beyond the hype
Gaming Americas takes a closer look at how the popular online casino affiliate is educating players and putting the power in their hands to find the best online casinos
Players are always looking for new casinos to play at and bonuses to claim. But in a market where there are literally hundreds of brands to explore, finding reputable sites that offer the experiences they are seeking is easier said than done.
While casinos spend big on branding and marketing, a lot of players turn to affiliate sites to get the lowdown on each brand so that they can decide if it’s the right casino for them or not. These sites also act as an additional layer of trust as players know they have already been vetted by the affiliate.
One of the most established and trusted affiliates is Casino.org which has been helping players to go beyond the hype being generated by casino brands and educate players in terms of what they need to consider before deciding to sign up and play at a site for almost 20 years.
The site has earned a reputation among players for the quality of its casino reviews. Each brand listed on the site is put through an extensive 25-step process to determine the score it receives including security and trust, games, bonuses, banking, mobile, localisation and customer support.
This is to ensure that all aspects of the player journey and experience are taken into account and so that the casino receives a fair score for what it has to offer.
Casino.org’s team of reviewers are always objective when putting a casino through its paces and is not afraid to highlight any areas where it has been marked down. This is because the site believes that transparency and honesty is key to fostering player trust.
Alexander Korsager, General Manager at Casino.org, says: “There remains a lack of trust between players and the online casinos they sign up to and play at, and that’s why we have developed such a comprehensive review process.
“We want players to be able to have all the information they need about a casino so they can decide whether it’s right for them or not. This means being honest about what is good and bad about each brand. Of course, we only list the top brands in each market.”
Beyond its casino reviews, Casino.org has built a comprehensive “learning hub” packed with articles, features, interviews and guides so that players can further educate themselves about playing at online casinos.
Topics covered include how to play casino games, how to gamble responsibly, how live dealer works and a vast FAQ section that answers some of the most common questions players have.
It’s also rolled out a dedicated video series that talks players through how to play the game of roulette including how to get started, six betting strategies and the difference between European and American roulette.
“Our learning hub has proved to be incredibly popular with players,” says Korsager. “It arms them with the knowledge and understanding they need to make the most of the time they have at an online casino, especially when it comes to playing games like blackjack and roulette.
“Player education is an area where we are looking to stand out and our learning hub is a very effective way of going about this.”
All of the content written and published by Casino.org – including its famous casino reviews – is produced by gambling experts. The team is made up of online casino players with deep experience and an unrivalled understanding of what makes for a good online casino.
This is a major factor in the affiliate’s rise to the top of the industry and why it is so deeply trusted by players in more than 100 countries across the world.
“Casino.org is on the side of the player and our team of experts ensure that we produce content that is detailed, accurate and correct, says Korsager. “Players come to us for our honest opinions and insights, and we can only deliver this because of the truly incredible team that we have in place.
“We have been supporting players on their mission to find new online casinos and bonuses for almost 20 years now and plan to be doing it for the next two decades and beyond.”

When Logic Finds a Face: Meet Refie, ReferOn’s New Living Interface
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Refie, the new living interface inside ReferOn, it’s here.
ReferOn, the next-generation affiliate management platform, has launched Refie — a built-in interface layer that gives the platform its own awareness, making interaction faster, clearer, and more human.
Refie represents a new level of interaction within ReferOn, designed to make complex affiliate data easier to perceive and act on through visual feedback that turns system logic into something instantly understandable. He now lives inside the platform’s interface, appearing on onboarding screens and system state pages, where he reflects how the system feels and responds in real time.
Refie isn’t a chatbot or a mascot — he’s an integrated UX layer that connects technical precision with human intuition. By reducing noise and guiding attention naturally, he helps affiliate managers work faster while avoiding mistakes and staying aligned with live performance data.
We like to call this approach “lazy intelligence” — systems that think before you do so you can focus on what actually matters. Refie is the first visible step toward that.

Roadmap: From Awareness to Assistance
Refie’s introduction marks the beginning of ReferOn’s next development stage.
He’s the foundation for what comes next: gamification, engagement, and, ultimately, intelligent assistance. Through him, we’ll introduce a more interactive, rewarding experience where every action feels meaningful. Over time, Refie will evolve from a visual signal into a personal AI agent — the intelligent core of the ReferOn platform.
Vlad Bondarenko, ReferOn’s Head of Product, commented, “Refie isn’t just an add-on or feature — it’s a reflection of how our platform and team think. For years, affiliate platforms have been built for reporting, not for people. We wanted to change that. Refie was born to simplify. He embodies how we think about technology: clarity, control, and connection should feel natural, not forced.
With Refie, ReferOn has learned how to say hi — not with words, but quietly, through awareness. It’s how the system shows it understands what’s happening. He represents the moment ReferOn moved beyond functionality and toward awareness, emotion, and intelligence. The launch goal is to show that the era of faceless B2B tools is ending.”
The ReferOn team will showcase the platform’s latest innovations at SiGMA Central Europe in Rome (Booth 5044). There, attendees can explore the system in action, connect with the team, and experience Refie — the living interface making its first public debut.

Gjorgje Ristikj, Founder & CEO at Gamblers Connect, stated: “Our collaboration with IZIGROUP marks an important milestone for Gamblers Connect. Joining forces with a reputable Malta-based brand allows us to combine credibility with reach, delivering stronger exposure, better performance and a more mature presence in the industry.
