Rightlander Radar launched
Innovative affiliate compliance platform rolls out new service to identify and monitor misleading marketing on subscription content
Rightlander.com, the most powerful affiliate compliance tool in the market, has launched Rightlander Radar which identifies unethical and misleading messages behind paywalls.
With the gambling industry under increased regulatory scrutiny in the UK regarding misleading marketing, one of the areas that has caused concern and is among the hardest to police is that of subscription content. Tipsters, matched betting sites and affiliate newsletters often fly under the radar using direct mail, software downloads or password access to distribute content.
In response, Rightlander Radar is now available to all iGaming operators from August 2020 to start identifying and monitoring private channels that carry this content and to investigate serious incidents or issues highlighted by the regulator. This provides an extra layer of compliance analysis to affiliate compliance processes and requires minimal time to manage.
Ian Sims, founder of Rightlander, said: “The ASA recently published a ruling against an affiliate in the iGaming space who is not only still active but we have discovered is sending out affiliate links to UK licensed operators via email.
Radar is designed for any compliance officer or affiliate marketing professional who has a responsibility to ensure that affiliate and marketing content is pushed to consumers in a compliant fashion and who needs to quickly identify when a brand’s licence is being put at risk.
This level of service requires a specific knowledge of the sector and how affiliates work. We employ experienced gamblers and affiliates who know what to look for and how to recognise ‘bad actors’ to seek out these marketing channels and conduct the monitoring.”
The new service will also encompass the investigation of emergency regulatory issues such as the recent COVID-19 measures and the and the recent activity around affiliates marketing to self-excluded players which has been the subject of regulator notices to operators. Operators will receive notification of issues that put their brands and licences at risk along with a monthly report providing insight on the content investigated and issues uncovered. This could prove to be useful at regulatory audits to demonstrate awareness of the issues that this type of content can raise.

QiH Group unveils full sports betting vertical ahead of Premier League kick off
UK-based top affiliate QiH Group has diversified into the online sports betting arena for the very first time ahead of the new Premier League season this Friday.
The new launch will cover four sports initially – horse racing, football, boxing and the NFL – across digital marketing channels Google, PPC, SEO, programmatic, Facebook, Snapchat and Twitter.
The launch will be led by the affiliate’s new-look Podium Bets brand, which showcases the best online sports betting operators alongside daily promotions, best odds guaranteed, and free-to-play games.
QiH capitalised on the intense interest during this summer’s Euro 2024 tournament to perform a successful soft launch of the sports betting division.
This culminated in the execution of 350 campaigns across paid channels, which delivered a prospect list of more than 25,000 sports customers and approximately 7,500 conversions.
Double trouble
The number of operator partners onboarded into QiH sports also more than doubled in the last two months, as the quality of the customer offering was improved and implemented.
QiH Group chief marketing officer David Murphy expects the new division to contribute 15% to revenue activity in FY ‘24/’25.
“The Euros were the launchpad of a long-held ambition for the company to expand into sports and it has been a fantastic success,” says Murphy.
“It is a strategic goal for QiH to deliver not just volume, but also quality, by targeting sports enthusiasts in quality channels while ensuring that our partners can jointly prosper in our vertical expansion.
“We are committed to providing sports fans with the same level of excellence and innovation that has defined our market-leading casino offerings.
“I am incredibly proud of our team’s efforts to expand into sports betting. This is just the beginning, and we have a lot more in store for end users and crucially, our operator partners,” Murphy concludes.
Sports-focused Podium Bets has gone straight into the QiH brand portfolio alongside premium casino offerings such as SlotsWise and StrikeWild.
Camilla Rodrigues, Affiliate Manager for Betrino, said: “Since partnering with Podium Bets at the beginning of this year, we’ve seen remarkable growth in our business. Their team has been exceptional in understanding our unique needs and crafting strategies that have yielded fantastic results. Thanks to their expertise, we’ve not only exceeded our initial expectations but have also been able to onboard more brands, further expanding our reach and success in this space.”
James Dominique, Affiliate Manager at Lottoland, said he’s been impressed with Podium Bets’ results in just a short amount of time: “We’ve recently launched with Podium Bets and have seen some fantastic results so far. Our account manager has been outstanding in onboarding our unique brand, which isn’t a typical sportsbook, and finding a way to make it profitable for us.”
