Affilka by SOFTSWISS, an award-winning affiliate management software platform, has announced a suite of new product updates for the affiliates. The latest release introduces a Traffic Report with advanced clicks analytics, an API for extracting campaigns and tracking links, and a sub-affiliate NGR-based revenue share model.

Traffic Report: In-depth Click Analysis

This new Traffic Report focuses on detailed click-level analytics, offering in-depth insights into clicks, registrations, deposits, and conversion rates such as click-to-reg and click-to-FTD – all in one place. It includes several key features for flexible data analysis:

Multi-dimensional filtering and data grouping: The report enables users to filter and break down the data into granular views across multiple dimensions, offering detailed insights by traffic source, campaign, country, device type, IP address, and more. Notably, click data is transferred to the report in real time, providing instant visibility into user activity.
CSV data export: The report supports one-click CSV export, allowing affiliates to easily download raw data for offline analysis or sharing.
Historical data access: Affiliates can review traffic statistics from 1 January 2023, enabling year-on-year comparisons and long-term trend evaluation.

Gleb Bichan, Product Lead at Affilka by SOFTSWISS, comments: “At Affilka, we know how crucial it is for operators and affiliates alike to make data-driven decisions. That’s why we’re introducing tools like the Traffic Report to help partners become more productive and uncover new insights faster.”

API for Marketing Campaigns and Tracking Links

In addition to the existing Reports API, affiliates can now access data on their marketing campaigns and tracking links directly via API, allowing for automated data extraction and custom integrations. With this API access, users can retrieve up-to-date lists of marketing campaigns, promo codes, and related performance metrics directly via API calls. This improvement helps Affilka clients automate their reporting workflows and integrate affiliate data with external BI tools, reducing manual effort and ensuring timely access to key information.

New Sub-affiliate Revenue Share Model

Responding to client feedback, Affilka’s team also features a new sub-affiliate reward type. This allows affiliates to earn a commission based on the Net Gaming Revenue (NGR) generated by players referred by their sub-affiliates, offering a more direct revenue-sharing approach. By aligning earnings with the actual revenue brought in by sub-affiliates, the update incentivises collaboration and gives experienced affiliates a stronger stake in mentoring their referred partners.

Gleb Bichan adds: “For us, it’s important that affiliates not only use the product but also feel it’s built with their real needs in mind. We regularly gather feedback and implement improvements that make daily workflows more transparent and efficient. Features like the Traffic Report, API access, and new reward types are direct responses to partner requests – and we’re not stopping there. We plan to introduce even more tools designed to simplify affiliate operations, so stay tuned for upcoming updates.”

Affilka by SOFTSWISS will be presented at iGB in London from 3 to 4 July 2025. Attendees of the event can learn more about new features directly from the Affilka team and see how these innovations support better affiliate programme management.

Esportes Gaming Brasil, the owner of Onabet and Esportes da Sorte, is making its debut at the 58th Parintins Folklore Festival with an interactive project that blends cultural promotion, economic development, and social responsibility.

The brand becomes the first regulated betting operator to offer institutional support to the event, which welcomes around 120,000 visitors and generates BRL 184 million in local economic activity, according to the Amazonas State Government.

This cultural commitment comes on the back of Esportes Gaming Brasil sponsoring 31 São João festivals during June in 27 cities across the Northeast and Southeast regions. This initiative strengthens the brand’s strategy of connecting with the public through the appreciation of Brazilian cultural expressions.

Esportes da Sorte’s focus was creating memorable experiences as each event featured scenography by Pernambucan artist Perron Ramos. Another notable element was the Vila Junina (June Village), a themed area blending traditional elements with interactive experiences. Classic games such as Pescaria da Sorte (Fishing of Fortune), Barraca do Beijo (Kissing Booth), and Argola da Sorte (Ring Toss) bring nostalgia to the festivities.

For the three-day Parintins Folklore Festival starting today, the brand will be energising Parintins with a series of experiences celebrating local culture. These include a panoramic lounge with a special view of the Bumbódromo, the Truck da Sorte — a space combining karaoke and free hydration — as well as a Social Arena installed in the Garantido and Caprichoso neighborhoods, featuring artistic performances, rest areas, free water distribution, and Instagram-worthy spots. Festivalgoers will also be able to get their hands on custom giveaways throughout the festival. All elements of the visual project are inspired by Amazonian art. The graphics feature illustrations by Curumiz, a Parintins-based duo formed by Alziney Pereira and Kemerson Freitas.

Sofia Aldin, CMO of Esportes Gaming Brasil, the group behind the brand commented: “Esportes Gaming Brasil cares passionately about regional values and strengthening Brazilian popular culture. It’s more than simply showcasing our brand, we want to create value for the people who live for events like the Parintins Folklore Festival and the São João festivals. Being part of these events backs our strategy of supporting traditions that drive local economies and celebrate regional identities.”

The Draw-Based Games Come as Part of Larger Aggregation Agreement Between NeoPollard Interactive, Aristocrat Interactive and Inspired Entertainment

Aristocrat Interactive

– a leading B2B provider of gaming content, technology, hardware, and services – in collaboration with NeoPollard Interactive and Inspired Entertainment announced the launch of the first-ever Virtual Sports games available in the U.S. iLottery market, accessible exclusively with the Virginia Lottery.

Known as “VSports,” these new content options, developed by Inspired Entertainment, ensure the sports season never ends for Virginia Lottery players. NeoPollard is a joint venture between Pollard Banknote and Aristocrat Interactive. As part of this joint venture, Aristocrat Interactive developed a customer integration offering for VSports through its aggregation system, Fusion

, allowing the Virginia Lottery to benefit from this new game category and be able to offer its players football, basketball and horse racing draw games all under one digital platform.

“Our commitment to providing best-in-class lottery content is strengthened by robust third-party integration capabilities with content providers like Inspired Entertainment,” said Chris Shaban, Managing Director of Aristocrat Interactive iLottery. “The introduction of these first-of-its-kind draw games for the Virginia Lottery exemplifies how customers can benefit from strategic integrations that drive new innovations and improvements in available content for players.”

Each VSports game runs on a specific schedule, allowing players to place bets on a virtual event of their choosing. Through the use of a certified random number generator (RNG) and similar to other online games, all VSports games are simulated ensuring results are fair and random. The outcome of live sporting events has no impact or influence on VSports. While VSports in Virginia will be implemented using a lottery draw game format, the entertainment value—particularly for sports fans—will be significantly enhanced. Additionally, these games can be played every two to three minutes, offering a frequent experience.

“Through the Virginia Lottery’s agreement with NeoPollard Interactive, we are delivering unique content for a diverse set of players while also attracting new audiences,” said Scott Kenyon, Deputy Executive Director of Marketing for the Virginia Lottery. “This relationship allows us to provide a wide range of new, distinctive games that we are confident will be exciting and appealing to our players, while also supporting the Lottery’s overall mission of raising revenue for K-12 public education in the Commonwealth.”

This integration supplements the expansive iLottery content library for the Virginia Lottery while also showcasing the depth and variety of content offerings Aristocrat Interactive can provide for its customers and, in turn, players of varying interests.

“We are honored to work with Aristocrat Interactive through its contract with NeoPollard Interactive to bring this unprecedented gaming experience to the Virginia Lottery,” said Brooks Pierce, President and CEO of Inspired Entertainment. “This collaboration showcases players’ growing appetite for engaging online lottery experiences and will provide additional funds for a good cause.”

Additional VSports are expected to be made available via the Virginia Lottery over time, with this initial launch representing a significant step forward in providing players with new and exciting content options all year round.
