EGR Webinar: Social responsibility in egaming - the affiliate perspective

EGR Webinar: Social Responsibility in egaming – The Affiliate Perspective

How affiliates are adapting to the changing egaming landscape and an increasing demand from customers for accountability

Date: 21 November 2019 

Time: 10:30 EST/ 15:30 GMT 

Affiliate marketing, whether specific to egaming or other relevant industries, has grown accustom to the probing of its engagement and acquisition strategies. In recent years, scrutiny has focused on such issues as lack of self-regulation and misleading advertising. One of the timelier examples is the UK Gambling Commission issuing a clarification with regards to free-to-play games made available via gambling affiliates.

But shifts in the industry approach to standards and accountability are creating an environment where affiliate and operator stakeholders are more proactive in their social responsibility initiatives, getting ahead of both regulatory demands and those of their customers.

In this webinar, the discussion of social responsibility will focus on the evolving expectations placed on affiliates, as well as the importance of operator collaboration and adopting of proactive mindset across various markets. Panellists will also help answer the question of what a realistic and achievable ethical standard can and should look like.
