Player-centric affiliate goes live in sixth US state – opening follows Colorado and West Virginia 2020 approvals

BonusFinder.com has launched in Illinois, just 24 hours after the state fast-tracked sports betting regulation due to the Covid-19 lockdown.

Bonusfinder.com’s Illinois offering becomes the rapidly growing company’s six US state offering alongside its five existing state licenses and its third US opening of 2020.

Founded in 2019 with a vision to transform how the affiliate sector creates, captures, and converts traffic into profitable returning customers, with a player-centric and brand-driven approach, BonusFinder.com has made huge in-roads in the rapidly growing US market.

In April it was granted a license to operate in West Virginia – its fifth US affiliate license in less than a year, and just two weeks after Colorado regulators gave Bonusfinder.com its stamp of approval. Other licenses include New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Indiana.

Three months after launching the state’s first retail bet the Bet Rivers Sportsbook launched online and mobile sports betting in Illinois allowing customers to register from home instead of a physical bricks and mortar casino. Illinois becomes the18th state to regulate sports betting since the repeal of PASPA in August 2018.

BonusFinder.com is a finalist in the Affiliate of the Year category at this year’s EGR North America Awards.

Fintan Costello, Managing Director, Bonusfinder.com, said: “As more states open their doors to online and mobile betting and gaming we’re moving fast in the US and I’m delighted with our progress so far this year.

“Just a few weeks after launching in West Virginia and Colorado, we’re ready for the first customers in Illinois. It’s ideal timing as live sports begin to return across the US, and if activity is anything like other newly regulated states then I’m very excited for the coming months ahead.”

““Our aim is to help players ‘play with more’ within a safe and responsible environment. We’re live in six states and are presenting millions of players with the optimum sports betting and gaming options before they commit to opening a new online betting account.”

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.
