How did One Ordinary Guy scoop a 1 BTC prize?

Crypto Gaming expert Ryan Shields had become the first winner to get a free BTC prize over a super group of passionate crypto folks all doing heroic things for the cryptommunity.
And FortuneJack is where the cryptommunity gets its game on. Ryan is no stranger to being a part of the cryptommunity. Way back in 2015 in Boston, Ryan turned to crypto for the first time when he came across the Fortunejack website, and like so many before and since, saw the upsides of Bitcoin in gaming.
Ryan has been hooked to crypto technology ever since. That passion for Bitcoin is what inspired Ryan’s prize winning project: Bitcoin Gaming Online. It goes without saying that FortuneJack knows a thing or two about particular subject, and were blown away by the superlative quality of Ryan’s site.
“If there is a crypto platform online, and it’s not on my site, there’s a reason for it.” Says Ryan. “I spend a couple hours after work whenever I have the time. I’ll test out new games, seeing if they withdraw winnings properly, their promotion bonus terms, hidden rules, stuff like that.”
Keeping cryto-gaming on the level is of benefit to the whole crypotommunity, and his dedication to the cause won Ryan the 1BTC JACKMATE prize, the very first given in FortuneJack’s new monthly giveaway.
Ryan has big plans for his 1 BTC winnings. As a current resident of the North-eastern seaboard and it’s chilly winter weather, he sees a vacation to sunny Florida in his very near future. But like all dedicated members of the cryptommunity, Ryan’s first priority is to double down on his involvement in crypto gaming.
“There’s still so much I want to add to Bitcoin Gaming Online, like a list of all the different coins with their descriptions, and actual player reviews. I will certainly use some of the BTC to hire some designers to make my platform more attractive.”
“I believe the future of cryptocurrency will only continue to grow in popularity.” Ryan Shields is not alone in that belief, for a cryptocurrency revolution that, even as a tough early 2018 is evening out, is still set to increase hugely in value.
“It’s an exciting time for blockchain technology, and watching it become incorporated in daily life. Everyday I read about massive corporations like Microsoft, Overstock, even Google, testing the tech and figuring out how to incorporate it into their platforms, it’s really cool to see.”
HUGE congratulations to inaugural winner Ryan Shields. Will your name be next in the JACKMATE Hall of Fame?
Make an impact on the Cryptommunity online or offline, share it on Twitter with the hashtag #JACKMATE, and join FortuneJack’s Official Discord Channel to let us know you’re in the running. That’s all you have to do, and we could send you 1 BTC for it.

StatsDrone now supports over 2000 affiliate program integrations

StatsDrone has achieved a significant milestone in their journey to being the best affiliate stats app both with accurate data and with the most affiliate program integrations.
The company recently achieved a milestone of over 2000 affiliate program integrations. Most of the integrations are for iGaming affiliate programs while others include affiliate networks, finance affiliate programs and crypto related programs.
Since launching the app over 4 years ago, the other milestone achieved is nearly 1200 affiliate programs marked as migrated or closed.
The multi-award winning app connects to affiliate programs through credentials using scraping or through using API keys. API data is supported by 61% of affiliate programs listed on StatsDrone currently as of August 2025.
COO and Co-Founder Darrell Helyar had this to say about the milestone: “Achieving this milestone reaffirms StatsDrone’s position as a leader in affiliate marketing, enabling affiliates to optimize performance and drive results. With an exceptional team committed to accuracy, innovation, and support, we continue to build trust and deliver outstanding results for everyone we support.”
The data that StatsDrone can get for customers is on the following levels: account, brand, campaign, dynamic variables and postbacks.
Dynamic variables, advanced data solutions for affiliates
Dynamic variables are proving to be one of the more popular tools offered at StatsDrone.
Dynamic variables is supported with the following affiliate program software: MyAffiliate, ReferOn, Mexos, CellXpert, Income Access, Affilka (SoftSwiss), RavenTrack, Alanbase, tap (Smartico), MAP, Post Affiliate Pro, Affise, Affelios, Entain / BetMGM, FlexOffers, NetRefer and PartnerMatrix.
Postbacks are currently available in StatsDrone for MyAffiliates, Affilka, Affise, Cellxpert and a few more.
StatsDrone helps affiliates identify when affiliate programs closed or migrate affiliate software which can render their old tracking links as invalid.
Finding affiliate programs
StatsDrone doesn’t just have 2000 affiliate program integrations but every integration is a review and part of our program database.
Affiliates can search for programs by affiliate software, if they have an API for accessing their data, postbacks, dynamic variables and exclusive deals too.
By far the most common integration technically falls under proprietary which means operators that choose to build their own affiliate program and not use a platform.
MyAffiliates has been the most popular platform as operators choose to launch their platform off of. Affilka, ReferOn and RavenTrack have been the fastest growing platforms.
On top of getting stats to affiliates, the company does it all with accuracy in mind. If an affiliate finds any data point not to be what it should be, they can report it to the StatsDrone team to have it fixed.
Likewise, if an affiliate wants a single program added, it is added to the list and most of the time the program is added within minutes.

Riding the wave of a hugely successful Q1, Slotozilla has continued its momentum through Q2 on the back of iGB Live London 2025. The platform consolidated the quarter by adding over 25 affiliate partners and launching 139 exclusive bonuses. This milestone marks a glistening moment in the company’s mission to deliver premium value and choice for online casino stakeholders.

The iGB Live London 2025 presented a golden opportunity for Slotozilla to engage equally outstanding industry leaders to improve user experiences. The company subsequently sent a delegation of experts to the event. “It was an incredible experience to meet so many passionate affiliates face-to-face,” said Tim Cline, Slotozilla’s editor-in-chief. “I’m proud of the collaborations we’ve initiated and excited about the value these brands will bring to our users.”
Geographical reach also extended into 15+ nations during Q2, with significant growth in Germany, Poland, Canada, and Italy. These expansions reiterate Slotozilla’s global vision and its commitment to localised content. With tailored bonuses and responsible gaming advocacy, the platform has never been more player-centric.
