GeWeTe expands in Germany and abroad – CEO Aristidis Tsikouras welcomes five new GeWeTe’s employees

Whether cash, debit or credit card or online – payment options are becoming increasingly diverse. This at the same time goes hand in hand with a steadily growing need for flexible money management. This is the area of expertise of GeWeTe Geldwechsel- und Sicherheitstechnik GmbH (GeWeTe). Rising demand is confirmation of the popularity enjoyed by the Gauselmann subsidiary’s automated pay stations, money-changing and payment systems both at home and abroad. In order to meet this demand, GeWeTe has added five new staff members to its payroll as of the beginning of the year.
“Our new colleagues are deployed at our offices in the UK, Spain and Germany, where they are working in the fields of technology, sales and quality assurance. We are delighted to have been able to win the five for our company,” explained GeWeTe CEO Aristidis Tsikouras, who personally welcomed the new team members during an induction week at the company’s headquarters in Mechernich, Germany.
In the UK, Tony Spalding and Bobby A. are strengthening the GeWeTe technical support team as technical support engineers, while Steve Matthews is supporting sales in the position of account manager. This expansion is a response to the rising sales figures on the UK market and will continue to guarantee customers the best possible support.
To reinforce the sales team in Spain, GeWeTe has been fortunate in winning Pablo Barbeito Vilariño from northern Spain. In Mechernich, the company is expanding its capacities in quality assurance with Cvetanka Vitanova, which will allow it to focus on new assignments and projects in this area.

Affilka by SOFTSWISS Wins at EGR B2B Awards for Second Year Running

Affilka by SOFTSWISS, an affiliate management software platform, has secured the title of Affiliate Software Supplier at the prestigious EGR B2B Awards for the second consecutive year. The awards ceremony took place on 3 July at London’s iconic The Roundhouse, where the iGaming industry gathered to celebrate the most successful and innovative companies of the past year.
The consecutive win reinforces Affilka’s growing leadership in iGaming affiliate marketing software. Over the past 12 months, the product has consistently evolved, launching a series of powerful new features.
Among the recent updates is the Cross-Brand Player Duplicate Detection tool, which identifies overlapping player accounts across different casino brands within a single affiliate program. The platform also introduced the new Traffic Report, which provides real-time, click-to-registration and click-to-FTD metrics with multi-dimensional filters. Another new feature allows affiliates to access data on their marketing campaigns and tracking links directly via API, enabling automated data extraction and custom integrations.
At the end of last year, Affilka rolled out the Geo-Distributed Redirect feature, which boosts site visits by reducing redirect times from 1.5 seconds to 300–500 milliseconds, and the Cohort Analysis Report, which offers deeper insights into player behaviour.
Anastasia Borovaya, Head of Affilka by SOFTSWISS, commented on the recognition: “Winning this award two years in a row is an incredible achievement for our team. It reflects our hard work, creativity, and deep commitment to the continuing improvement of our platform. What makes this win special is knowing that the tools we build are already helping our partners solve real challenges. Whether refining traffic strategies or making smarter, data-driven decisions, we’re proud Affilka plays a part in their success.”
Thanks to ongoing updates and the introduction of new innovative features, Affilka by SOFTSWISS now supports over 450 brands, 400 thousand affiliate accounts, and 98 million player registrations.
Earlier in June, SOFTSWISS won two prestigious trophies at another EGR Ceremony – Marketing & Innovation Awards 2025. The company’s marketing department received the Marketing Team of the Year Award for its bold creative approach and effective use of new technologies and data analytics. In addition, Valentina Bagniya, CMO at SOFTSWISS, was named B2B Marketer of the Year for transforming the company’s marketing function into a powerful brand engine within the iGaming industry.

For August, the provider turns up the heat with two new offers: Summer Crash and Freespin Hype. Both are available to apply for until July 25 and designed to help operators during the summer’s most critical weeks.
This August’s promotions offer Spinmatic’s partners the chance to unlock up to 60% off in Revenue Share, depending on the offer selected. Full activation details – including game selection and placement requirements – are reserved exclusively for Spinmatic’s operator network.
“Our goal with Rock the Month is to bring consistent value to our partners,” said Norbert Mathies, Managing Director at Spinmatic. “We know operators are constantly under pressure to keep players engaged, so with our monthly promotions, we aim to offer something that’s genuinely useful. With two offers available each month, operators can choose the one that best fits their market. At the same time, we’re helping them get more out of their campaigns and explore new games with reduced risk.”
Spinmatic encourages operators and industry stakeholders to stay tuned, as new Rock the Month promotions will continue to be rolled out monthly. For those looking for innovative ways to increase player loyalty and revenue, now is the perfect time to get involved.
