Better Collective launches new American facing platform us-bookies.com

With the recent Supreme Court decision to repeal PASPA, Better Collective, the world’s leading provider of betting tips, bookmaker information and gambling tools, is already positioning itself towards the attractive market through their latest website, us-bookies.com.
Us-bookies.com is an educational platform that currently serves the punters of the U.S. horse racing community. In line with Better Collective’s current global portfolio of sites, which is predominantly focused on sports betting, the site includes bookmaker reviews of currently available bookmakers in the U.S., as well as how-to content for those new to horse racing. With the new decision from SCOTUS, us-bookies.com will expand its focus on the broader landscape of sports betting beyond horse racing.
Most importantly, the us-bookies.com features a continuously updated interactive map of the USA that breaks down the legal gambling specifications of every state in the union. As the U.S. market is a developing landscape, this tool will become invaluable for punters who will be learning how to engage with the iGaming space.
Jesper Søgaard, Founder and CEO of Better Collective, said: “Just like most of our peers in the industry, we are very excited about yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling. Better Collective is looking to increase our portfolio in the market, and us-bookies.com is just the start of a much wider plan to target the U.S. market.
“The USA has always been an interesting market to follow, and US traffic to our bettingexpert.com site already ranks within our top-5 traffic sources. This decision is sure to become a catalyst for many operators and affiliates to become more aggressive with their strategies to enter it. My hope is that Better Collective will establish a stronger presence in the U.S. to help give the proper tools to new punters navigating the iGaming space for the first time.“
What is PASPA?
The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) is the federal law passed in the United States in 1992 that declared a nationwide ban a sports betting (with a few exemptions). The PASPA ruling did not apply to certain sports, which included horse and dog racing.
On May 19, 2018, the Supreme Court of the United States repealed the act, making the legal status of sports betting a discretion of state legislation, rather than federal. Multiple states who have been in favour of repealing the act, including New Jersey, are expected to legalise sports betting within their state in the near future.
About Better Collective
Better Collective’s vision is to empower iGamers through transparency and technology—this is what has made them the world’s leading developer of digital platforms for betting tips, bookmaker information and iGaming communities. Better Collective’s portfolio includes more than 2,000+ websites and products. This includes bettingexpert.com, the trusted home of tips from expert tipsters and in depth betting theory, and SmartBets, the odds comparison platform made personal.

Affilka by SOFTSWISS Unveils Updates for Affiliates

Affilka by SOFTSWISS, an award-winning affiliate management software platform, has announced a suite of new product updates for the affiliates. The latest release introduces a Traffic Report with advanced clicks analytics, an API for extracting campaigns and tracking links, and a sub-affiliate NGR-based revenue share model.
Traffic Report: In-depth Click Analysis
This new Traffic Report focuses on detailed click-level analytics, offering in-depth insights into clicks, registrations, deposits, and conversion rates such as click-to-reg and click-to-FTD – all in one place. It includes several key features for flexible data analysis:
- Multi-dimensional filtering and data grouping: The report enables users to filter and break down the data into granular views across multiple dimensions, offering detailed insights by traffic source, campaign, country, device type, IP address, and more. Notably, click data is transferred to the report in real time, providing instant visibility into user activity.
- CSV data export: The report supports one-click CSV export, allowing affiliates to easily download raw data for offline analysis or sharing.
- Historical data access: Affiliates can review traffic statistics from 1 January 2023, enabling year-on-year comparisons and long-term trend evaluation.
Gleb Bichan, Product Lead at Affilka by SOFTSWISS, comments: “At Affilka, we know how crucial it is for operators and affiliates alike to make data-driven decisions. That’s why we’re introducing tools like the Traffic Report to help partners become more productive and uncover new insights faster.”
API for Marketing Campaigns and Tracking Links
In addition to the existing Reports API, affiliates can now access data on their marketing campaigns and tracking links directly via API, allowing for automated data extraction and custom integrations. With this API access, users can retrieve up-to-date lists of marketing campaigns, promo codes, and related performance metrics directly via API calls. This improvement helps Affilka clients automate their reporting workflows and integrate affiliate data with external BI tools, reducing manual effort and ensuring timely access to key information.
New Sub-affiliate Revenue Share Model
Responding to client feedback, Affilka’s team also features a new sub-affiliate reward type. This allows affiliates to earn a commission based on the Net Gaming Revenue (NGR) generated by players referred by their sub-affiliates, offering a more direct revenue-sharing approach. By aligning earnings with the actual revenue brought in by sub-affiliates, the update incentivises collaboration and gives experienced affiliates a stronger stake in mentoring their referred partners.
Gleb Bichan adds: “For us, it’s important that affiliates not only use the product but also feel it’s built with their real needs in mind. We regularly gather feedback and implement improvements that make daily workflows more transparent and efficient. Features like the Traffic Report, API access, and new reward types are direct responses to partner requests – and we’re not stopping there. We plan to introduce even more tools designed to simplify affiliate operations, so stay tuned for upcoming updates.”
Affilka by SOFTSWISS will be presented at iGB in London from 3 to 4 July 2025. Attendees of the event can learn more about new features directly from the Affilka team and see how these innovations support better affiliate programme management.
