BonusFinder granted Michigan licence

Published

on

 

With online sports betting coming to Michigan imminently, local gambling fans will be delighted to learn that BonusFinder.com has been granted an affiliate licence for the US state.

The move could not have been timed better, with sports betting on the verge of being made legal either by the end of 2020 or early in the new year. And with upwards of 10million people living in the state, Michigan has the potential to be a significant online gaming market.

BonusFinder managing director Fintan Costello explained what the new licence means for players: “We are now legally allowed to operate in the state, which means that once sportsbooks start launching, BonusFinder can list them on the site, write reviews and provide the people of Michigan with the best bonus codes for the sites that are due to launch.”

Michigan sportsbook licence applications were invited in summer 2020, open to commercial land-based casinos and tribes within the state. Following this announcement, many of the world’s leading online sportsbook and gaming suppliers entered into agreements with Michigan casinos, including Kambi with the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi, Rush Street Interactive with the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians/Little River Casino, and DraftKings with Bay Mills Casino.

Costello was also enthusiastic about the ease of the licensing process. He said: “It was a relatively straightforward process compared to some other states, so we are very grateful for the Michigan Gaming Control Board – the whole process took a little over two months.”

The latest licence comes after a big year for the company, who have already been granted permission to bring BonusFinder to players in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, West Virginia, Colorado, Tennessee, and Illinois.

Michigan is home to 24 tribal casinos under 12 tribal compacts, while Detroit has three further casinos; the 27 casinos generated a combined £2.87bn in revenue in 2019.

The freshly-minted online gaming and sportsbook regulations have arrived with a competitive tax rate for casinos, so analysts expect Michigan to be a major market. Figures in the region of $650m in revenue for the first year have been touted in some corners, which would generate significant tax revenue.

User Experience Optimisation with Geo-Distributed Redirect Feature

This feature aligns with the increasing focus on user experience optimisation and minimising friction in user journeys. Rapid, seamless redirects fastened by 2.5 to 5 times maximise user engagement, reduce bounce rates, and improve conversions, reflecting the industry’s shift toward prioritising customer-centric design.

Simulated tests conducted in one region showed a reduction from 1.5 seconds to just 300–500 milliseconds – ranking among the fastest response rates in the industry. As a result, the feature has driven a 3.5% to 7% increase in users successfully reaching casino sites, leading to higher registrations and deposits. 

Comprehensive Reporting for Data-Driven Decision-Making

Affilka by SOFTSWISS offers comprehensive reports with near real-time statistics. This advanced analytics tool aligns with the growing reliance on complete actionable data. It provides a competitive edge, as both operators and affiliates can receive timely information to make informed decisions. The faster affiliates receive data on player activity, the quicker they can adjust their marketing strategies to attract higher-quality traffic.

Flexible Commission Constructor Empovers Customisation

Affiliates and operators are moving toward highly tailored commission structures to better align with performance metrics. The Flexible Commission Constructor provided by Affilka by SOFTSWISS reflects this demand, enabling the creation of CPA, RevShare, Hybrid, and other bespoke models to meet diverse business needs.

Built-in Payment Processing for Seamless Financial Operations

As the affiliate industry expands globally, ensuring timely, secure, and multi-currency payment solutions is critical. Built-in Payment Processing aligns with the trend of streamlining financial workflows, fostering trust, and improving affiliate retention through hassle-free payouts.

Affilka by SOFTSWISS integrates multiple payment systems, including Neteller, Skrill, Cryptoprocessing, and bank transfers, facilitating efficient and timely affiliate payouts directly from the platform’s back office. This seamless payment processing enhances operational efficiency and ensures affiliates receive their earnings promptly.

The additional geo-specific payment methods for affiliate cashouts will strengthen the platform. We will also continue to focus on optimising traffic delivery, load balancing and enhancing system stability and fault tolerance to ensure uninterrupted traffic flow.”

Cohort Analysis will provide deeper insights into player behaviour over time. Traffic Report for affiliates will ensure comprehensive data on user clicks by click country, user agent, device, operating system, and other vital criteria.
