To BTC or not to BTC? Here is what King Billy Casino says!

How well do you know the Bard? We bet well enough to know the most famous line of all times, penned back in the Year of our Lord 1599. “To be or not to be – that is the question” Hamlet was pondering in what became the most well known monologue of all times (excluding of course the monologues of your “significant other” in the car).
Fast forward 4 centuries and a score. The question now, on everyone’s lips is “to BTC or not to BTC?” Crypto mania has swept the planet from Milan to Yucatán, but… is it worth it? Yes, yes and yes says King Billy Casino through its crypto experts. And they are ready to back it with numbers!
“According to research”, King Billy Casino Head of Affiliate Department Ruslan Legenzov informs us, “although only 5% of the millennials (that is people born after 1982) have an interest in cryptocurrencies, more than 60% of online gamers have already used cryptocurrencies in the past.”
We did wonder why, but King Billy Casino had the answer ready: Ease of use, the sense of heightened security and lower transaction fees are the reasons behind the cryptocurrencies success. Crypto and online casinos are good to each other!
Furthermore, the King Billy people provided us with some crypto fun facts and trivia, which can also be found on the casino’s blog (yes, they have one and it is hilarious). Let’s go through them!

And for those of you, who have never touched crypto and still ponder, like the Prince of Denmark, it is high time you left that skull aside and jumped on the crypto bandwagon. Because the answer is definitely “to BTC”!

First iGB Affiliate Manager Academy to shine a light on effective AI-Driven affiliate recruitment strategies

Organisers of July’s edition of iGB L!VE – the first to be held in London – have announced the launch of the AI focussed iGB Affiliate Manager Academy which will be held July 1 as part of London iGaming Week.
The training and mentorship program which is being curated in partnership with Affiverse, founded by veteran affiliate marketer Lee-Ann Johnstone – and which guides businesses on how to launch, scale and grow successful affiliate programs, has been designed to help organisations of all sizes understand how to leverage new tactics and simple AI tools to recruit, retain and activate affiliates more effectively.
The Academy will offer a mix of practical learning, tactical assessments and personalised coaching providing affiliate managers with an invaluable opportunity to learn from industry leaders. Each unique session will include topical insights drawing on the dominant trends in the market.
Looking ahead to the Academy Lee-Ann Johnstone said: “I’m delighted that Clarion has invited Affiverse to develop a bespoke training academy specifically for iGaming Affiliate Managers.
“In an industry that’s constantly evolving, and which is powered by the early adoption of new technologies, businesses and affiliate managers have to keep learning in order to remain competitive. The only way we get to understand the affiliate space and all the complexities it entails is on the job – from others!
“It has always been important to me that those who have knowledge pay it forward and I’m really excited to be given the task of leading the curation of this unique event bringing the best of the best together in order to teach, train and coach affiliate managers as we move forward.
“The gap between AI-empowered affiliate managers and those relying solely on traditional methods is widening every month. The iGB Affiliate Manager Academy will provide the bridge to ensure businesses are on the right side of that divide.”
Reflecting on the importance and objectives of the iGB Affiliate Manager Academy, Global Portfolio Director Naomi Barton said: “Our live events are all about delivering real value to our international community of stakeholders. Lee-Ann and her team at Affiverse are spearheading the academy syllabus and content stream alongside IGB’s events production team to provide tailor made training and mentoring for new and existing affiliate managers as well as those who want to learn and scale their affiliate programs faster.
“The workshop will provide insider access to the exact AI-driven techniques that are assisting brands to deliver real results. Most significantly this isn’t just theory — instead it’s a hands-on expert-led roadmap focussing on immediately implementable tactics that will transform your program performance.”
