22Bet Partners Introduces The Winner’s League — An Affiliate Competition Built for Football Season
As the football world prepares for its biggest stage, 22Bet Partners is warming up with a competition of its own.
In anticipation of the upcoming World Cup, the affiliate program has announced “The Winner’s League”, a limited-time campaign designed to reward new partners who bring winning traffic during the most exciting period of the football calendar.
Being a brand deeply rooted in the global sports scene, 22Bet has long aligned its identity with the energy, competition, and global passion surrounding football. The new campaign reflects that same spirit — turning affiliate performance into a league of its own.
Running from April 15 to June 15, The Winner’s League invites new affiliates to step onto the field, compete for performance-based rewards, and secure boosted revenue share conditions ahead of the football season’s peak traffic period.
For traffic owners focused on Tier-1, Tier-2 markets, the campaign offers a straightforward challenge: bring players, reach milestones, and climb the reward ladder.
How The Winner’s League Works
The promotion is available exclusively to new partners who register and meet the campaign requirements during the promotional period.
To participate, affiliates must:
- Register in the 22Bet Partners affiliate program
- Drive traffic from eligible Tier-1, Tier-2 regions
(For detailed GEO information, partners are encouraged to contact their affiliate managers.) - Generate verified First Time Deposits (FTDs) during the campaign period
Only traffic that complies with the program’s official rules and conditions will be considered eligible.
Bonus Levels & Rewards
The Winner’s League operates with a clear milestone structure. As partners increase their performance, their rewards grow accordingly.
20 FTDs

50 FTDs
- 10% RevShare boost for 2 months
100 FTDs

Playing the Long Game

With The Winner’s League, the message is simple: the football season is approaching, the audience is warming up, and the field is open for new players.
For affiliates ready to compete, the league has already begun.

KSA Completes Its Investigation Into How Minors Could Still Gamble Online Despite Age Restrictions
The Dutch Gambling Authority (KSA) has completed its investigation into how minors could still gamble online despite age restrictions. The investigation shows that it is virtually impossible for minors to gamble with legal gambling providers.
Minors are not allowed to gamble in the Netherlands. When age verification is circumvented, it is primarily done via accounts belonging to adult family members and friends. However, the KSA received reports that it was possible for minors to create accounts with legal online gambling providers and launched an investigation in 2025 as a result.
The study examined the registration process at online gambling providers, with a specific focus on identity verification and bank account verification. Transaction data requested from banks allowed for a more in-depth investigation into potential shortcomings.
The investigation shows that there are virtually no serious irregularities. However, in a very limited number of cases, players were able to use another person’s bank accounts or link their own bank account to another player’s account. This could occur almost exclusively in situations where people have exactly the same initials.
Discussions with online gambling providers revealed that they did not have an immediate solution for this. The KSA notes that such a solution is now available and will engage in a technical session with the online providers to discuss what the KSA expects from the sector in this regard. The KSA will also share its recommendations with the online gambling providers at a later date, and these guidelines will be incorporated into the Wwft guidance.
Michel Groothuizen, Chairman of the Board of the Dutch Gaming Authority, said: “The KSA is deeply concerned about minors gambling. Fortunately, it appears that this hardly ever occurs among licensed providers, but we do have clear indications that it is happening nonetheless. This is likely on the illegal market. Illegal providers often apply no or low standards for age verification and advertise specifically targeting this young demographic, for example via TikTok. This is extremely harmful, and the KSA is therefore working hard to combat the illegal supply. We are also placing a stronger focus on educating minors to make them aware of the risks of gambling.”
