To mark the occasion, Alpha Affiliates is proud to announce the winners of its inaugural Affiliate Race who will shortly be receiving their well-deserved rewards.
Significant Milestones and Market Expansion
In 2023, Alpha Affiliates achieved a 30% increase in affiliate partners, consolidating itself as a preferred choice among affiliates.
Amidst rapid growth, Alpha Affiliates launched four new cutting-edge casino brands – Spinch, Rakoo, OnLuck, and Casino Infinity. These additions to its portfolio not only showcased the company’s commitment to providing diverse gaming experiences, but also contributed to its status as a dynamic force in the iGaming industry.
Geographical market expansion was a key strategic move in 2023, with Alpha Affiliates making significant strides in new markets, including France, Italy, Belgium, Greece, Norway, Slovenia, Slovakia, and Hungary. This geographic diversification not only broadened its reach, but also ensured a more comprehensive and inclusive gaming experience for iGaming enthusiasts worldwide.
Partnerships, Collaborations and Awards
Alpha Affiliates celebrated its 11th anniversary in grand style by hosting a 200K EUR Affiliate Race for its partners, and hosting a milestone party in Cyprus, a testament to the company’s commitment to fostering a sense of community with its affiliate network. This is further exemplified by the new partnerships formed with niche media entities, including Affpapa, Affiverse Media, Global Gambling News, and SiGMA World. These collaborations bolstered the company’s reach and ensured its presence at the forefront of industry discussions and developments.
The company also proudly secured the Affpapa Award, and the team’s participation in six major conferences, including iGB London, SiGMA Dubai, iGB Amsterdam, SBC Barcelona, SiGMA Cyprus, and SiGMA Malta, further cemented its status as an industry leader and innovator. During SiGMA Malta, the company showed its social and collaborative nature in its popular booth, where it showcased a preview of its cutting-edge affiliate platform, provided exclusive merchandise, engaged in stimulating conversation on industry trends and raffled €7,500 with participants.
The Affiliate Race
Part of its creativity has come from launching innovative events and competitions. From October 15th to December 25th, Alpha Affiliates hosted the Affiliate Race, where top partners competed for prizes and Hall of Fame spots.
With over €200,000 at stake, the top 30 partners, excelling in Net Gaming Revenue (NGR), will soon receive their well-deserved rewards. The top 5 will additionally be honored with exclusive branded rings, making this competition a remarkable success.
The race provided a unique opportunity to boost earnings, with similar opportunities ready for 2024 and beyond.
Affiliate managers will be personally reaching out to the winners very shortly.
Team Growth and Future Plans
The Alpha Affiliates team experienced substantial growth, with 30 new employees, including Irina Makarova as Chief Marketing Officer, and Irina Pisanko as Chief Product Officer. It also welcomed the promotion of Boris Pashnev to CEO in December. Alpha Affiliates will be continuing to expand its workforce in 2024, and is expected to grow by a further 20% in the new year.
2024 will be the year for expansion, both internally within teams, and regionally, strengthening its position in tier one and tier two markets, with eyes set on several new EU regions. The company will align its strategic moves with the company’s vision of becoming a global leader in the iGaming affiliate space.
As part of its brand expansion, Alpha Affiliates looks to solidify its media presence by attending key industry events such as the Amplify Summit by Affiverse Media, iGB, SBC and SiGMA. The affiliate marketing company will also launch its brand new podcast series in partnership with Affiverse in January, looking at the latest trends and tips for affiliate marketing within the iGaming sector.
The company is inspired to achieve further greatness in 2024, and hopes its efforts will be recognised by the industry with more prestigious awards next year.

Esportes da Sorte strengthens brand presence during New Year’s Eve celebrations across four Brazilian capitals
Esportes da Sorte, one of Brazil’s leading online betting platforms, will be the official sponsor of New Year’s Eve celebrations in four Brazilian capitals: Salvador, Recife, Natal and Maceió. The initiative reinforces the brand’s growing presence in the national cultural calendar and its strategy to connect with large-scale public celebrations beyond the digital environment.
New Year’s Eve is one of Brazil’s most significant annual moments, marked by intense domestic travel, international tourism and mass public participation. By supporting celebrations in four key destinations, Esportes da Sorte aligns its brand with tradition, culture and shared experiences that resonate deeply with local communities.
“Sponsoring New Year’s Eve celebrations in four capitals reflects our commitment to being present in moments that bring people together,” said Marcela Campos, Vice President of the Esportes Gaming Brasil Group, owner of the Esportes da Sorte brand. “Supporting these cities means valuing their cultural identity, strengthening local ecosystems and celebrating the people who keep these traditions alive year after year.”
Across all four capitals, the brand will activate its presence through immersive experiences, public-facing activations and the distribution of branded giveaways — a hallmark of Esportes da Sorte’s engagement strategy at major events. The activations are designed to enhance the festive atmosphere while reinforcing the brand’s connection with culture, entertainment and responsible enjoyment.
The New Year’s Eve sponsorships build on Esportes da Sorte’s broader cultural engagement strategy, which includes long-standing support for large-scale events such as Carnatal, in Rio Grande do Norte — a key fixture in the state’s tourism and cultural calendar. Together, these initiatives reflect the company’s commitment to expanding its footprint in cultural sponsorships nationwide.
Esportes da Sorte’s participation also mirrors a wider trend within Brazil’s regulated betting market, as operators increasingly diversify their sponsorship portfolios beyond football. Music, festivals and cultural celebrations have become strategic platforms for brands seeking broader visibility, deeper community ties and more sustainable engagement with the public.
