1st Partners – Direct Advertiser for Tier-1 markets

In the crowded world of iGaming affiliate marketing, where networks often overpromise and underdeliver, a new player has established itself by focusing on fundamentals that matter most: transparency, reliability, and direct access to high-value markets. 1st Partners has entered the industry as a direct advertiser for Tier-1 countries, offering affiliates the chance to work directly with in-house brands instead of relying on intermediaries. This model not only guarantees more control but also unlocks the true potential of Tier-1 markets such as Europe and Canada.
The advantage of working with a direct advertiser is clear. Affiliates no longer face the uncertainty of resellers or white-labels. With 1st Partners, every promoted brand, from BeonBet to BitStake, SlotRush, and Betsomnia, is fully owned and operated by the program. The result is consistency, stability, and a user experience tailored for conversion and retention. By cutting out middle layers, affiliates gain access to products designed with one purpose: turning traffic into loyal, depositing players.
Equally important is the strategic choice of Tier-1 markets. Affiliates often chase GEOs that look profitable in the short term but collapse under weak regulation or low player value. Tier-1 countries represent the opposite. Players in these regions deposit more per session, often commit to long-term gaming, and deliver higher lifetime value. Economically stable, with strong digital infrastructure and clear regulations, Tier-1 geos like Europe and Canada ensure predictable revenue and reliable growth. For affiliates, this means bigger checks, consistent payouts, and campaigns that can scale sustainably over time.
The financial structure offered by 1st Partners reinforces this positioning. As a Direct advertiser, the program begins with a 40% RevShare baseline and no negative carryover, providing a strong foundation even for newcomers. For teams that prefer immediate returns, CPA and hybrid models are negotiable, and a five percent referral commission adds another layer of monetization. Crucially, the program operates on Affilka by SoftSwiss, which delivers hourly data updates and supports API and postback integrations. Net Gaming Revenue is calculated with a clear and open formula, giving affiliates full transparency and eliminating the hidden deductions that are common in indirect networks.
Payments are another area where the Direct advertiser model shows its strength. Affiliates can withdraw earnings from as little as €100 through crypto or e-wallets, while wire transfers start at €1,000. Payouts are processed monthly, with Skrill and crypto finalized by the 15th and bank wires by the 21st. The availability of multiple payment methods, from PayPal to Neteller and SEPA, ensures that affiliates of all sizes can manage cash flow effectively and reinvest into campaigns without delays.
Beyond terms and technology, 1st Partners has gained praise for its approach to support. Affiliates consistently note that managers are not simply account handlers but real partners who provide timely responses and proactive advice. This is a reflection of the Direct advertiser mindset: when the affiliate succeeds, the brand succeeds. Instead of standardized replies, affiliates receive optimization tips, creative assistance, and in many cases, custom deal adjustments. This level of involvement is particularly valuable for media-buying teams operating in competitive channels such as PPC or social ads.
Reputation in the industry has followed quickly. On community platforms and review sites, affiliates highlight on-time payments, straightforward contracts, and the reliability of the team. Transparency about the company’s structure has further strengthened confidence, as 1st Partners has openly clarified its position as a Direct advertiser with independent brands and infrastructure. For affiliates who have grown cautious of programs that shift responsibility or fail to deliver, this level of clarity has been a welcome change.
Taken together, the strengths of 1st Partners outline a clear choice for affiliates aiming at the top tier of iGaming performance. It is a Direct advertiser with exclusive in-house brands, focused on Tier-1 regions where deposits are higher, lifetime value is stronger, and regulation provides security. It offers a generous RevShare baseline, flexible CPA options, transparent reporting, and payments designed for affiliates rather than against them. Most importantly, it delivers a true partnership model where affiliates are treated as essential collaborators rather than just sources of traffic.
In a market where networks come and go, the long-term opportunity is in aligning with programs that own their products, pay on time, and focus on quality markets. 1st Partners checks all these boxes. For affiliates ready to expand in Europe and Canada, it is not just another affiliate program — it is a Direct advertiser designed for Tier-1 success, and a partner built for the future of iGaming.

23red and GamCare unveil New Campaign which Brings the Hidden Feelings of Gambling Harm to Life

Reading Time: 2 minutes
Purpose-led creative agency 23red, part of CapGemini and UK charity GamCare have launched a new year-round digital campaign designed to help people recognise the often-invisible feelings associated with gambling harms and encourage people to seek support sooner, as needed.
Running across multiple digital platforms, the adverts target men aged 18–44 and people affected by the gambling of their loved ones, who are often women, and who often play a central role in family wellbeing, to take that first step to seeking support.
The campaign includes 30-, 15- and 6-second creatives in standard formats, with a major burst planned for the New Year, one of the busiest times of year in terms of people contacting the Helpline.
At its heart is a striking new 30-second film that uses metaphorical visual storytelling to bring to life the intense emotions people can experience when gambling takes control—feelings of being stuck, feeling trapped and a sense of being tied in knots by gambling.
Tristan Cavanagh, Creative Director at 23red comments: “Unhealthy gambling habits are often hidden in plain sight. We set out to create something people who are experiencing gambling harms instantly recognise and feel rather than just watch, with visuals that mirror the quiet chaos inside someone’s head. Our aim was to cut through the usual tropes and deliver a piece that resonates emotionally, prompting conversations before harm escalates”.
Victoria Corbishley, Chief Executive Officer at GamCare comments: “Our new creative visualises the inner turmoil that people experiencing gambling harms can feel. It’s a fresh approach that we hope helps people in need, whether they gamble themselves or care about someone who does. We hope they will see those signs and reach out sooner for support.”
The new GamCare campaign underscores that gambling harm doesn’t always look how you expect. It can affect colleagues, partners, friends, or family members who seem “on top of it,” and it can escalate quietly until it touches every part of life.
GamCare’s services are free and confidential, non-judgemental help is available 24/7, 365 days a year from trained advisers.

Boomerang Partners merges creativity and marketing at SBC Summit Lisbon: Nick Chichagov on the vision behind the performance

Reading Time: 5 minutes
The September SBC Summit in Lisbon was one of the most notable events for Boomerang Partners. The affiliate gambling & betting marketing agency presented its client portfolio and won two prestigious SBC Awards: ‘Social Media Campaign of the Year’ and ‘Rising Star in Sports Betting’ (Operator).
The company’s booth became a central hub for exhibition attendees, with over 1,500 people visiting it. They were able to learn about the new sports traffic tournament, the Golden Boomerang League and took part in a raffle for sports memorabilia from Rafael Nadal, Cristiano Ronaldo, Tyson Fury, and Fernando Alonso. One of the most impressive activities at the Boomerang Partners booth were unique live artist performances. In doing so, the company effectively married marketing and art for the first time at the iGaming event. These quaint performances have all the potential to become a new trend in the industry.
The creative producer and director of the Boomerang Effect performances at the Boomerang Partners booth was Nick Chichagov. In an interview, he discussed the origin of the project’s idea, the essence of the performances, and where he draws inspiration from.
1 How did the idea for this performance come about? Did something unusual inspire you to create something so out of the box?
When I start working on a performance, I always look for an initial hook. Here, it was the crowd. Inspired by photographers like Alexey Titarenko and his City of Shadows series, I explored the idea of people as ghostlike figures without identity. Later, references to René Magritte’s Son of Man helped sharpen the concept.
Music also guided me — a line from a Tool song, “to bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication,” became a key reference point. Contemporary dance emerged as the ideal form. I wanted to include a simple yet powerful moment where two people just stand and look at each other. Step by step, the puzzle came together.
2 If you had to describe this performance in a few words, what would they be?
For me personally, it is about uniting, immersing into communication, and becoming one – transitioning from disparate parts into a single, cohesive whole. The entire performance is a metaphor for separate atoms, individual people, and distinct fragments ultimately uniting as one under the company’s brand.
3 Tell us about the concept behind the production — what was the main idea or message for you?
The concept of the performance was that six agents of Boomerang Partners – each with their own character, state of mind, and attitude toward themselves, others, and the audience – venture out into the crowd. Their mission is to study communication, understand themselves, and bring meaning to people, guiding them to a place they’ve been waiting for under the Boomerang Partners brand, which helps people realize their potential.
During the main performance, the artists showcase the company’s themes – boxing, racing, football – through movement and dance. At the end, their gray masks are removed to reveal vibrant, individual identities, still tied to the brand. The core message: people often feel lost, but Boomerang Partners shows them the right path through its lens.
4 What were the most interesting or challenging moments during the rehearsal process? Can you share any behind-the-scenes stories from the preparation?
The most interesting part was the entire process of working with the team. As a director, I found it interesting to give the performers some creative space. For instance, each performer had their own character, and I provided them with a list of 10 traits to define it. Within that framework, they also invented different emotional states and variations.
The work was challenging, though. The third act was particularly difficult because we built its final choreography piece by piece. All the references we found were entirely off the mark. We didn’t want to just literally depict a sport; we wanted to convey it through imagery.
This is how we built the first act: the artists study themselves and their characters. Then, they interact with each other in the second act. Finally, the third act is where the artists unite into a single whole, representing the company’s diverse directions, and they rip off their masks to reveal the vibrant individuality that blossomed under the brand’s auspices.
5 Were there any funny or unexpected stories while working on the performance?
I wouldn’t say there were any truly unexpected moments in terms of the performance’s preparation. But there were certainly funny ones. For instance, when we were trying to incorporate football, racing, or boxing into the performance, we’d choreograph and plan how to best execute it. Sometimes, when we tried it out, the result was quite humorous because it came off as rather cartoonish. That’s exactly what prompted us to rework some choreography segments, taking certain details we found interesting to work with, instead of relying on overused, standard clichés.
Another amusing element was our permanent audience member. A cat would come to almost every single rehearsal and watch the entire process of us putting the performances together with great attention. I think it only missed one or two rehearsals; it was always there, observing very, very intently what was happening and why.
6 In your opinion, which elements were key to the success of this show?
I believe the show’s success was a result of a complete team effort. We put in an enormous amount of work and conducted countless rehearsals. We had incredibly talented artists, and I feel all the looks we created were a perfect, 100% match for the original references I had in my mind. Ultimately, I believe the performance we delivered was successful, first and foremost, thanks to the entire team.
