BonusFinder launches Spanish language site for US-based players

Bonusfinder.com has launched a new website catering to the 45 million Spanish speaking US population.
Fresh from being acquired by Gambling.com at the beginning of February the rapidly growing, globally licensed performance marketing business has further scaled the business with a dedicated online offering to millions of Spanish speaking US-based players.
The new site caters to 45 million potential customers, or 13.5% of the country, the second largest demographic in the US, and further bolsters its existing Spain, Colombia and Peru sites – all fully localised for Spanish speaking audiences.
Since launching in 2019 BonusFinder’s core offering has been to enable its customers to “play with more” at their favourite casino or sportsbook via simple-to-use tools that allow players of all levels to find the ideal personalised bonus to suit their style and budget.
Only locally licensed operators feature across each site, while BonusFinder has verified and tested all its partners to ensure they meet criteria including clear bonus rules, fast payments, excellent customer service and a responsible and fair gaming experience.
The company has rapidly expanded with 11 licences in the US market and across Europe with a total of 15 localised sites, all available in market specific languages.
BonusFinder will soon launch an offering in Ontario, Canada which the company’s Bonus Index has predicted will become the most attractive iGaming market in North America for players and brands, surpassing all its US online counterparts.
Fintan Costello, Managing Director, BonusFinder.com, said: “We launched with English speaking only sites across every state we are licensed in, however there is huge appetite to expand and Spanish speaking US sports and gaming fans have been crying out for a site that allows them to ‘play with more’ on their favourite casinos and sportsbooks.
“We are very excited to be able to provide this demographic with an easy, safe and responsible way to find the right bonuses and offers to improve their experience and maximise the value of their deposit.”

The Danish Gambling Authority Warns of Money Laundering Risks When Using Affiliates

The Danish Gambling Authority has become aware that money laundering can occur through affiliates who market for gambling operators. Gambling operators that use affiliates should therefore consider whether this gives rise to updating their risk assessment.
An affiliate is a marketing channel where a person or company makes money by marketing for, for example, a gambling operator. The general consumer protection and marketing rules and the Gambling Act’s rules on marketing and communication also apply to affiliates. An affiliate earns money from the agreement by, for example, attracting new customers via their own website or through their own social network to the gambling operator’s website with a link. The link is generated specifically for the affiliate. The affiliate receives payment for the referral (pay per click), or a certain percentage of the amount the new customer deposits into their account.
How criminals can exploit affiliate agreements with gambling operators
In affiliate agreements with an individual or a company, there is an inherent risk that a gambling operator will be misused for money laundering. Particularly organized criminal networks can exploit an affiliate agreement. Networks of organized criminals can refer a large number of people within their criminal network as customers using the link to a gambling operator. A larger amount of illegal funds can be deposited into customers’ gambling accounts, which will not initially look suspicious, as the amount is distributed among several people in the criminal’s network. The deposited funds can subsequently be paid out to customers, possibly after play-through from their gambling accounts. This approach will make it look like legitimate winnings from gambling, and at the same time the affiliate increases its profit by having brought more new customers to the gambling operator, who according to the affiliate agreement is usually paid per additional new customer.
Signs of money laundering through affiliates
The Danish Gambling Authority points out that gambling operators may risk being misused for money laundering through these affiliate agreements. It may indicate that a gambling operator is being misused for money laundering by its affiliate if a majority of the customers referred by the affiliate only use the gambling operator’s website once and then no longer use the gambling operator’s services. It may therefore be relevant to assess whether entering into an affiliate agreement gives rise to updating one’s risk assessment.
