Blexr has bought the UK-based website and ADR service, ThePogg, in a bid to expand its portfolio and B2B offering.
Blexr is expanding its presence in the online gaming space with the addition of ThePOGG to its brand portfolio. The site offers in-depth reviews of online casinos, providing prospective players with options from a selection of rigorously vetted online sites.

Blexr has acquired the site for a six-figure sum, highlighting the company’s commitment to enhancing the scope and capabilities of the service, further improving the industry for casinos and players alike.
Paudie O’Reilly, Founder and CEO of Blexr, commented on the acquisition, stating: “We know this acquisition will be a great addition to our existing product portfolio and expand our presence in our target B2B markets.
“The work Duncan has done over the years to build a trusted service at ThePogg is second to none and represents an enormous opportunity for Blexr to grow and develop that business.
“We have big plans in this space and are excited to see how it will grow in the coming months.”
Duncan Garvie, the founder of ThePOGG, will be joining Blexr as part of the agreement. He said, “I’m incredibly proud to be joining Blexr. We have worked hard to provide exceptional service to our users and clients over the past few years, and have developed the highest standards in the industry. I’m really happy to be joining an organisation that shares that same commitment.”
Blexr recently acquired New Zealand affiliate site CasinoReviews.net.nz and already owns a number of casino review sites for the Canadian, UK, and LATAM markets.

SOFTSWISS Unveils New Cohort Analysis Report at Affilka Platform to Empower Data-Driven Decisions

SOFTSWISS, a leading software provider with over 15 years of experience in iGaming, announces the launch of the Cohort Analysis Report within the Affilka Platform. The new feature enhances how operators monitor and evaluate player behaviour.
Award-winning Affilka by SOFTSWISS, supporting over 440 brands, introduces a new feature to help present data in an intuitive table format, making it easy to interpret critical insights at a glance. The Cohort Analysis Report groups players based on shared characteristics – such as registration, first-time deposit (FTD), or any deposit date – to provide a detailed view of trends, retention rates, and campaign performance over time.
Operators can configure the report with essential filters, including:
- Cohort Type: Segment players by registration, FTD, or deposit dates.
- Cohort Size: Group data by day, week, or month.
- Period Range & Size: Define the analysis period and how data is grouped.
- Metrics: Analyse more than 40 performance indicators.
Additional filters, including Partner IDs, Brands, and Campaign/Promo IDs, enable further customisation, ensuring users can fine-tune their analysis to meet specific strategic goals. This flexibility allows operators to track retention, evaluate marketing campaigns, and make data-driven decisions, optimising overall performance.
“Our goal has always been to empower our partners with actionable insights,” said Gleb Bichan, Product Lead at Affilka by SOFTSWISS. “I’m excited to introduce our new Cohort Analysis feature, a game-changer for understanding player behaviour in iGaming. This powerful tool allows operators to track engagement, measure retention, and optimise marketing strategies by analysing player groups over time. With deeper insights into user activity, businesses can make data-driven decisions that enhance player experiences and drive long-term success. We believe this feature will empower our clients with the analytics they need to stay ahead in the competitive iGaming market.”
Anna, Affiliates Team Lead at 7BitPartners, comments on the efficiency of the new feature: “The new Cohort Analysis Report has streamlined our traffic analysis by consolidating player activity into one clear, easy-to-read report – especially for CPA sources. This tool helps us quickly spot long-term trends and lower-quality traffic, speeding up our decision-making process. The report’s intuitive design and rapid processing have significantly enhanced our overall workflow.”

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.
