History of ThePOGG
ThePOGG was founded in 2011 by Duncan Garvie. The site quickly built strong brand recognition via their even-handed reporting on the gambling industry, ThePOGG has for many years been a go-to resource for informed individuals both players and those in the iGaming industry.
ThePOGG Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) service was launched in 2012, and has managed over 6.5k player complaints against online gambling companies, resulting in over $7.5 million having been returned to players. ThePOGGs ADR service has been recognised as appropriate to manage player complaints by multiple regulatory agencies and currently acts in an official capacity, providing legally binding rulings, for over 100 MGA licensed gambling operators. No other affiliate based complaint management service is approved to provide legally binding rulings for any regulatory system.
In 2017, ThePOGG founded and developed the responsible gambling service BetBlocker. BetBlocker.org provides free blocking software to anyone who feels that they need support to manage their access to online gambling services. In 2019, BetBlocker had grown so significantly that it was broken off from ThePOGG and established as a charity in its own right. The Trustees overseeing BetBlocker today are the same team that oversees ThePOGG.
Rare Opportunity to Pick Up a High Value Brand
The sale of ThePOGG.com represents a very rare opportunity to pick-up a brand that is industry renowned, holds unique accreditations allowing it to leverage a position of authority to foster trust with users and build SEO strength at the same time.
With Catena Media about to sell their flagship service, AskGamblers, which targets a very similar business model to ThePOGG, potential buyers are in the unique position of being able to pick-up a similar business with stronger core USPs as a complaint management service for a fraction of the astronomical sums being considered for AskGamblers.
ThePOGG’s domain strength compares favourably with some of the top ranking affiliate sites in the industry:
UR | DR | |
ThePOGG.com | 50 | 67 |
AskGamblers | 45 | 79 |
Casino.org | 46 | 79 |
Casino.Guru | 52 | 73 |
Gambling.com | 46 | 76 |
OnlineCasinos.co.uk | 41 | 63 |
Casinomeister | 39 | 72 |
Key Stakeholders Comments
Duncan Garvie, the Founder and ADR Official for ThePOGG.com: “ThePOGG.com has been a work of passion for me for over a decade. Integrity and trust have been at the core of everything I’ve worked to develop and I’m very very proud of the achievements that we’ve made. It’s now time to pass the torch on to someone who can take the brand to the next level.”

Increase Redirect Speed by 5 Times with Affilka New Feature
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.
The SOFTSWISS team looks forward to sharing the details of the Geo-Distributed Redirect feature and other product updates at the upcoming SiGMA Europe Expo. Current and potential partners can book a meeting with company representatives at stand 2145 through the contact form.
