Black Type launches affiliate program with Income Access

Income Access technology will power new programme for UK online bookmaker that streamlines the sports-betting experience for players

Black Type, the London, UK-based online bookmaker with a focus on simplifying and improving the sports-betting experience for UK players, has launched an affiliate programme in partnership with Income Access, Paysafe’s marketing technology and services provider. The new programme will be managed by Black Type using Income Access’ affiliate platform.

Launched in 2016 and powered by an FSB sportsbook platform under a UK Gambling Commission license, Black Type provides players with competitive odds and a high-quality, simplified user experience across a wide range of sports. Bringing a ‘back-to-fundamentals’ focus to the vertical, the brand streamlines pre-match/event and in-play betting on football, horse and greyhound racing, cricket, golf, tennis, rugby union and snooker among other sports.

Black Type also features an online casino, providing players a diverse selection of original slots and table games such as blackjack and roulette. All casino games as well as the brand’s core sports-betting offering can be accessed using Black Type’s new iOS app in addition to the brand’s desktop and mobile sites.

New players are offered a range of promotions, including a £5 bonus for both the sportsbook and casino when players place a £10 bet as well as a 100% casino bonus when players buy-in for between £10 to £100.

The launch of the new Black Type affiliate programme on Income Access’ platform, which has won EGR’s ‘Affiliate Software’ award four times since 2013, will allow affiliates to promote a sportsbook that returns the vertical to its traditional roots. The new programme offers affiliates a range of commission options, including CPA, revenue share deals and the hybrid model.

The programme will be managed by Black Type’s affiliate management team, which have multiple years’ experience in the sportsbook vertical. The team will use the Income Access platform’s ad targeting and attribution capabilities and its suite of more than 30 analytics reports to optimise campaigns.

Stephen Davison, Head of Operations at Black Type, said: “Black Type is excited to partner with Income Access and leverage its market-leading platform to launch and manage our new affiliate programme. Having already gained strong traction in the UK market, we look forward to utilising the affiliate marketing channel to promote the Black Type brand to a wider audience.”

Lorenzo Pellegrino, CEO of Income Access and Digital Wallets at Paysafe, said: “Black Type provides a welcome addition to the competitive UK sports-betting space by offering players a cleaner, simpler and streamlined sports-betting experience. We look forward to supporting the growth of a brand that is as innovative in its approach as it is traditional.”

A team of experienced iGaming executives has launched YourTopCasino, a new UK-facing affiliate brand designed to help players make smarter, safer choices when selecting an online casino.

The founding team – led by Chris Prentice and comprising marketing, retention and design experts – brings more than 30 years of industry experience with them from senior roles at companies including Grace Media, ActiveWin and Betable Group.

The brand enters the market with a fresh perspective, including a focus on responsible gaming, with reviews including detailed assessments of session limits, deposit limits, time-out tools, and self-exclusion options.

“The YourTopCasino team brings together years of experience across all parts of the iGaming value chain, so a move into affiliation was a logical next step,” said Chris Prentice, co-founder and director at YourTopCasino.

“We saw a gap in the market for an affiliate brand that doesn’t just prioritise conversions, but actually helps players engage with online casinos in a healthy and informed way. By building YourTopCasino around trust, transparency, and responsible gaming, we’re creating long-term value for both players and operators.”

In addition to expert reviews, the site offers a growing library of responsible gambling resources.

As the UK market continues to evolve, YourTopCasino’s player-first approach positions it as a timely and forward-thinking addition to the affiliate space.

QMRA Recognition by Google & Meta in Denmark – A Milestone for Compliance

QMRA has now been active for nearly a year, and we are proud to have welcomed many members who share our commitment to responsible affiliation. We continue to work towards becoming the leading compliance indicator for international affiliates.

Beyond compliance, we are expanding our efforts into advocacy. For example, in Finland, we have launched lobbying initiatives as the government considers restricting affiliate activities.

Most importantly, several QMRA members are actively seeking advertising licenses from Google and Meta in various jurisdictions. We are pleased to confirm that in Denmark, both platforms have recognized QMRA membership as a decisive factor in granting these licenses. This information has been directly communicated to us by our members.

This is a significant milestone for QMRA. It confirms that our compliance checks and the presence of the QMRA quality mark on an iGaming affiliate website are taken seriously by key industry players. Additionally, we know that in other markets, QMRA membership is already being considered in similar assessments.

We will continue to strengthen our position and expand our influence. Thank you for your continued support in upholding responsible affiliation standards.
