“The team at Gaffg has been working hard on the new version of the website to make it better for webmasters and as a resource for the igaming industry. Under the hood there are newer technologies used to run the site which were chosen for speed. It all starts with the new design and we have a lot of plans for new feature launches this year that we look forward to sharing.“ – John Wright
Rules for the awards
The rules are simple as only established gambling webmasters can vote where 1 person gets a vote regardless if they have 1 site or hundreds and their site must link to or provide help for their players on problem gambling resources. Each eligible affiliate is allowed to vote up to 5 affiliate managers and 5 affiliate programs they trust the most. Full details can be found at the Gaffg Awards page.
Voting ends December 11th, midnight EST.

Statutory levy affiliate reaction
“I personally think the industry should view this as a positive chance to work hand-in-hand with the NHS, charities and government as all stakeholders pull together to minimise gambling harm. Gambling is meant to be fun and entertaining and the industry must ensure that it is responsible, so that those in need can gain access to properly funded support as and when they need it.”
