Tiki Taka Play Partners with NetRefer for its Affiliate Marketing Platform
Spanish online casino operator Tiki Taka Play has partnered with NetRefer, the industry-leading AI-powered affiliate marketing platform, to manage and optimise its affiliate programme as the brand expands in Spain’s regulated online gaming market.
Launched in early 2025, Tiki Taka Play represents a major step in the digital strategy of Grupo Tiki Taka Games, a national operator with over 50 years of experience in land-based gaming. Originally a family-run gaming machine business, the group has grown into a recognised name in Spain’s leisure and entertainment sector, with operations spanning gaming halls, betting venues, and amusement activities.
With Tiki Taka Play, the group brings its expertise online, offering a structured, reliable, and engaging gaming environment focused on accessibility, trust, and long-term player retention. The platform’s catalogue includes a broad selection of slots, classic table games like blackjack and roulette, and immersive live casino experiences, catering to a wide range of player preferences while maintaining consistent quality.
Operating under Spain’s regulated framework, Tiki Taka Play holds licences from the Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego (DGOJ), placing compliance, transparency, and responsible gaming at the core of its operations.
Affiliate marketing is a key pillar of Tiki Taka Play’s growth strategy. By partnering with NetRefer, the operator gains access to a data-driven platform that offers performance clarity, reliable tracking, and efficient partner management. Through NetRefer’s API integration, Tiki Taka Play can manage affiliate data in real time, maintaining operational efficiency and accuracy across its programme.
NetRefer also provides advanced support tools, including BI Analytics for customisable reporting and CoPilot AI for intelligent, data-driven performance insights.
Reflecting on the decision, Marc De Rueda Colomés, COO of Tiki Taka Play, said:
“When preparing the launch of Tiki Taka Play, we consulted our affiliates on trusted platforms. NetRefer consistently stood out for its balance of service and value. Their reporting and analytics tools are already proving invaluable, and the professionalism of their team has reinforced our confidence in the partnership.”
Greice Bezerra, Regional Acquisitions Specialist at NetRefer, added:
“Tiki Taka Play’s collaboration with NetRefer marks an exciting step in Grupo Tiki Taka Games’ digital evolution. We are proud to provide technology and integrations that give transparency, operational confidence, and performance insights, supporting a scalable and successful affiliate programme in Spain’s competitive market.”
As Tiki Taka Play continues to grow in Spain’s regulated sector, the NetRefer partnership provides the foundation to strengthen its affiliate network, enhance reporting and analytics, and drive sustainable digital growth.
