ThePOGG Relaunches: Quality Design to Match
![](https://gamblingaffiliatevoice.com/wp-content/uploads/thepogg-pr.jpg)
ThePOGG.com is proud to announce the relaunch of its website. Following on from ThePOGG.com’s recent accreditation as an ADR by the UKGC and the expansion of ThePOGG network to include POGGStrategies and POGGWebmasters comes the relaunch of the original site. With an increased emphasis on user experience, particularly for mobile users, the new site continues to offer a high quality complaints resolution service which has been expanded to address affiliate complaints through the introduction of POGGWebmasters.
The new site is far more intuitive for users and this together with the decrease in page loading times ensures optimum user experience. The site design itself is fresh, current and innovative; its goals to let players know about all the services offered and to highlight that ThePOGG is ultimately there for their protection. Now players will find it easier to locate our quality casino reviews, submit a casino complaint, or use our forums to discuss anything related to gambling.
“I’ve long felt that the design of ThePOGG.com failed to effectively convey the strength and quality of the content we were publishing and left us looking like one of the crowd rather than leaders within our field. The new design that John Wright has put together far more effectively showcases the unique approach to affiliate marketing we’ve taken and offers users a significantly improved experience. It’s been a long time in coming, but the design of the site now lives up to the high standards set by our content and services.” Duncan Garvie – Manager and ADR Official for ThePOGG.com
“I strongly feel that ThePOGG.com is one of the more important casino portals online. I know the quality of reviews, complaints, fairness reports and audits are some of the best around and I wanted to ensure the design relayed the quality of work put in. Although the content and value remains just as strong as it was before, the new design is a big step in the growth of ThePOGG. As much as the site aims to be a valuable resource for players, I find it to be equally valuable to affiliates.” John Wright – Gaffg.com
New Design
The design team made a conscious effort to avoid the use of banners and other calls to action that can detract from usability. This allows a clearer pathway for users to navigate their way through the site ensuring that their journey is intuitive and their experience positive.
Improved Speed and Mobile Functionality
The new site design features a significantly shorter load time and faster more responsive design for users of mobile devices. Site load speed has a direct impact on user experience and it was one of our big concerns to decrease load time when creating the new design. The previous design was not mobile friendly and with many casino portals reporting their mobile traffic being greater than their desktop traffic, it made sense to upgrade the website to meet user needs.
Unique Selling Points
ThePOGG has many features that are resources for players that cannot be found elsewhere

ThePOGG Network
ThePOGG.com offers several innovative and completely unique resources to both player and industry users. The Terms and Conditions Monitoring Service is exclusive to the site offering customers protection from retroactively changed Terms and Conditions. The Fairness Reports section investigates credible player concerns relating to game fairness through extensive statistical analysis. The Deposit Guarantee Seal offers players a level of security that is unparalleled in the affiliate market – no other affiliate portal actively offers to refund a player’s deposit if a casino recommended by them is found to treat a player unfairly. The Auditing Service gives operators the opportunity to receive in-depth feedback relating to their operation in order to provide customers with the best possible experience at their casino. Players can also access published Audit Reports that allow a greater level of insight into the service an operator provides. The Casino Reviews listed on ThePOGG.com are the most rigorous and robust to be found in the industry. They give honest and accurate reflections of the services provided by online operators and most importantly for player peace of mind: placement and recommendation on ThePOGG.com can NEVER be bought.
ThePOGG Network has undergone significant expansion in the last 12 months with the introduction of POGGWebmasters.com and POGGStrategies.com. POGGWebmasters reviews the affiliate programs currently in operation and takes forward any complaints submitted against them for aggrieved affiliates. As part of the reviewing process Terms and Conditions are investigated thoroughly in order to allow an accurate assessment of their favorability for affiliates to be determined. POGGStrategies provides statistical analysis of casino games and details information pertaining to optimal strategies for players. It also offers hand analyzers and strategy trainers alongside fairness calculators.
