Intertops Affiliates Celebrates 20 Years
1st affiliate to draw 1 of 20 prizes in hourly Apple giveaway at London Affiliate Conference
This year Intertops celebrates the 20th anniversary of its ground-breaking affiliate program. To mark the occasion, Intertops Affiliates will be giving away stacks of Apple products at the London Affiliate Conference February 7th and 8th. The pioneering company’s very first affiliate – who still receives monthly commissions for players he introduced way back when – will draw the final winner.
Hourly draws over the two days of LAC will award 4 iPhones, 6 Air Pods, 4 iPads, 5 iWatches and 1 Macbook Air.
“We’ve got 20 prizes for 20 years,” said an Intertops spokesperson. “One Apple product every thirty minutes. For a chance to win, just come by stand C1 and drop your business card in the bowl.”
Intertops is the most trusted online gambling brand in the world and is famous for taking the very first online sports bet in 1996. Two years later the pioneering company ventured into the casino business and added a poker room in 2003.
One of Intertops’ first affiliates was ‘Suchknecht’. 20 years ago, he was delivering the daily post to the Intertops office. One day he sat down for a coffee with the company founder and learned about the igaming industry. He invented a search engine and started promoting Intertops. Twenty years later, he continues to receive monthly commissions for the players he referred in those early days.
‘Suchknecht’ looks forward to talking about the good old days of affiliate marketing at the London Affiliate Conference.
Intertops Affiliates pays an up to 35% commission for the lifetime of the player. The company operates a sportsbook with esports and live betting as well as two casinos and a poker room. Affiliates earn revenue for players across all products. There is no negative carryover and there are never retroactive changes to terms. Over the last two decades, Intertops has earned a reputation for paying affiliates like clockwork.
