To enter, users had to like the giveaway post, tag a friend they’d like to attend the AC Milan vs. Bologna match with, and repost the message to their Instagram Story.

  • Two VIP tickets to the AC Milan vs. Bologna match on May 11, 2025;
  • Round-trip airfare (within Europe) to Milan and back;

Winner’s experience

The winner of the competition shared his emotions about winning and attending the match between AC Milan and Bologna (The winner’s story is shared with their consent).

How did you first hear about the giveaway, and what made you decide to enter?

I first saw an Instagram Ad about the giveaway. I decided to enter because visiting San Siro had always been part of my long-term plans and dreams.

What was your reaction when you found out you won?

I immediately called my travel buddy. We were both extremely excited about the trip and couldn’t wait to tell our families and the members of our “football WhatsApp chat” group that we had won.

What was the matchday like? Can you describe the atmosphere at the stadium? Was there a moment that gave you goosebumps?

The matchday was incredible. We made our way from the hotel to the San Siro stadium, and there were already lots of people there, celebrating, having drinks, and enjoying food. When we found our seats and looked around, it was the first time we both got goosebumps at the same time because we couldn’t believe we had actually made it.

What made this trip truly unforgettable for you? Would you do it again? And if so, where would you go next?

What made the trip unforgettable was the incredible atmosphere at the stadium and the celebration of AC Milan’s first goal. The Curva Sud [The AC Milan fan stand] was particularly impressive. After the match, we went out and met some Rossoneri [nickname for AC Milan because of their uniforms with red and black stripes] fans, and we ended up chatting with them in various bars around the stadium for most of the evening.

Of course, we would love to visit another stadium. Our next goal is to go to PAOK Thessaloniki because of their passionate fans, and we also want to explore Greece.

I would like to thank Boomerang Bet for a wonderful experience. Everything was perfectly organized, and I’d love to take part in future giveaways. Good luck to everyone!

Published

on

From July 1 to 2 inclusive, Boomerang Partners, an Affiliate Gambling & Betting Marketing Agency, participated in iGB L!VE London on stand F50. One of the world’s largest iGaming events was held on a grand scale at ExCeL London. It proved to be an effective networking platform for major operators, affiliate teams, tech vendors, and game providers.

Meetings, sports expertise, and new agreements

One of the main topics attracting visitors to the stand was Boomerang’s expertise in sports. The company runs one of the leading sports-focused affiliate programs in the industry and is eager to share its expertise with market players. This knowledge is built on the support of a strong in-house analytics department, and one of its results was the launch of the Sports Marketing and Betting Calendar 2026 earlier this year. Numerous affiliate teams use insights from this guide to launch and run campaigns throughout the current year, which is packed with high-level sports competitions.

Shortlist in the Best Affiliate Programme category

On July 2, the final day of the conference, the iGB Affiliate Awards 2026 ceremony took place in a stylish venue at the legendary The Shard. Boomerang Partners were shortlisted in the prestigious Best Affiliate Programme category. This marked a high recognition of the company’s achievements by industry leaders.

GGL Publishes Activity Report 2025

Published

on

ggl-publishes-activity-report-2025

 

The German Gambling Authority (GGL) has published its latest activity report for 2025. The report highlights the GGL’s measures in supervising legal providers and its latest work against illegal gambling.

Supervision and Licensing of Legal Providers Further Systematised

While previous years focused primarily on granting licenses, in 2025 the emphasis shifted significantly to the structured supervision of licensed providers. Key instruments included supervisory discussions, both ad hoc and proactive measures based on reports and market observations. Internal collaboration between the relevant departments was further intensified, contributing to a uniform and consistent supervisory practice.

Further Development of the Technical Infrastructure and Supervisory Systems

The expansion of the technical infrastructure was further advanced. The goal is to create a reliable and comparable data basis for supervision, analysis and future regulatory decisions. Enforcing the mandatory and correct use of the safe servers by the authorised providers remained a challenging process in 2025, but it is the foundation for the necessary improvement in data quality.

Focusing the Fight Against Illegal Gambling on the Entire Market Environment

In 2025, the approach to combating illegal online gambling was further refined and consistently aligned with the entire market environment. In addition to measures against the operators themselves, the focus is increasingly shifting to the service providers involved. This approach ensures that illegal offerings are not viewed in isolation, but rather addressed within their market and process contexts.

In 2025, GGL worked closely with platform operators to further reduce the visibility of illegal content in the digital space.

Market measurement has been further developed scientifically. Due to its opaque and dynamic structure, the evaluation of the development of the illegal gambling market requires a particularly robust methodological basis. The 2025 activity report therefore does not include any independent figures on the size of the illegal market for the year 2025. Instead, the presentation is based on the results of the scientific study “Investigation of the black market and channeling of gambling on the internet based on a survey of gamblers”.

GGL deliberately chose this approach to increase the validity and comparability of the market data and to ensure methodologically sound results.

This study, already published, shows that in 2024 the market volume of illegal and therefore unregulated online gambling will be 23%. This results in a channeling rate of 77%. This means that legal or regulated offerings account for more than three-quarters of the online gambling market.

The existing study will be continued so that a scientifically sound data basis on the development of the illegal market can be provided.

Outlook 2026: 5 Years of GGL Mean Evaluation and Further Development

The developments so far show an increasing consolidation of the supervisory and enforcement structures within the framework of the State Treaty on Gambling 2021.

The focus in the coming years will be on the legally required evaluation, the preparation of the new licensing cycle from 2027 onwards, and the further strengthening of data-based and scientifically sound supervisory instruments.

The 2025 activity report can be found under Publications of the Joint Gambling Authority of the Federal States – Annual Reports.
