Affiliate giant grows from strength to strength as the latest member of the C-suite team joins, bringing international B2B expertise to the iGaming sector

One of betting and gaming’s best-known power affiliate businesses, QiH Group, has announced the next steps in its ambitious, four-year growth plan: on Monday, the company welcomed Chief Technology Officer Sachin Saxena.

The new CTO is the latest member of the C-suite to head to QiH Group, joining recent appointee David Murphy as CMO – as well as Andrew Lee’s promotion to COO.

The CTO role will oversee technology initiatives, policies and integration with QiH Group’s strategic objectives. In his remit, Saxena will work with the company’s senior leadership, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams to transition previously outsourced functions and platforms to in-house talent.

The tech expert has previously held roles with digital health company Congenica as well as online legal platform Rocket Lawyer and fintech firm Dealogic.

Jamie Walters, QiH Group’s CEO, said that the rapid growth of the company has made hiring the right CTO a priority.

“Working in the affiliate space is as challenging as it is rewarding – mainly because of the fast-paced nature and how competitive our products have to be. Investing in a CTO was the best decision for us now, as our in-house tech talent blossoms and we require next-gen leadership to scale the tech stack quickly. Sachin’s software engineering,  development and leadership experience in the B2B sphere are excellent, and we’re so pleased to welcome him,” says Walters.

Saxena spoke about his move into the iGaming sphere in glowing terms, saying: “Whether it’s software engineering, information science or managing tech talent, I love using my background to benefit a new sector. I’m really excited about the move into betting and gaming, and I know that QiH Group will be the next new challenge for me as I oversee the migration and integration of platforms, as well as building a high-performing team who will enhance the firm’s abilities.”

Why BetPokies.org Is a Trusted Source?

Back in 2020, John Gold founded the website as a platform where he shared his personal insights about online casinos that he had tried out. Not so long after, BetPokies (owned by ZehrMedia LTD) started gaining popularity among Aussie players, which led John to the idea of expanding the casino review platform into something bigger, which has now become an extensive guide. This allows readers to find all the necessary info on one website without the need to waste time searching for more reliable sources.

Four years after its foundation, BetPokies team consists of experts specializing in different fields: Poppy Bate, a casino review expert, Charles Morey, a payment method expert, Alicia Want, a content expert, Andrew Kiss, a tech expert, and over 10 manual testers. 

John Gold explains the reasoning behind such a choice of team members: “I personally believe that one person cannot be an expert in different fields. That’s why I’ve decided to hire people who have knowledge in different spheres so that our readers can get the most relevant and expert information.”

How BetPokies.org Rates Online Casinos?

Having over 10 years of experience, John Gold knows how hard it is to find honest and unbiased casino reviews. This is one of the reasons he created BetPokies. The team of the platform researches gambling sites thoroughly to find all the important details and even hidden pitfalls. 

• Poppy Bate, the casino review expert from BetPokies verifies the availability and validity of the license. She gives extra points to those casinos with certifications from eCOGRA and iTechLab, which she personally contacts to learn more information about insights the testing agencies got about each casino site.
• When it comes to banking, Charles Morey starts his research, he tests the payment methods offered at the gambling website by setting test deposits and withdrawals. His aim is to ensure there are no hidden taxes or other unpleasant surprises. Often, this approach allows BetPokiesto find out about hidden pitfalls other casino review sites do not talk about.
• Manual testers of betpokies.org gamble at online casinos, ensuring the games are not rogued and that the provided RTP is realistic.

How BetPokies Сomplises the Blacklist of Online Casinos

Unfortunately, gambling is not only fun but also risky. The team of BetPokies takes the safety of its readers seriously. John Gold, the website’s editor-in-chief and an experienced gambler, decided to take the responsibility of explaining the risks to himself and created the “Blacklisted Casinos” guide.

“We’ve published dozens of guides and casino reviews on our website, recommending safe and trusted online casinos and mentioning the importance of responsible play and tips for choosing a safe casino in each of them. However, over time, I realized it was not enough. I decided to do in-depth research about rogue and other dangerous sites to gamble to provide our readers with the most necessary information on that matter, saving their personal and banking information, as well as their mental state.”

Each site that made a cooperation offer to BetPokies but didn’t pass the thorough verification of its experts is going to the blacklist. However, John Gold shared his plans for the nearest future about expanding the list: “I release we can’t check and blacklist every dangerous online casino out there. Therefore, we decided to use the help of our readers. Pretty soon, we will create a form where gamblers can share their complaints about a particular gambling site with proof of it being unsafe. Then, Poppy Bate will test the website herself, do more research, and if it turns out dangerous we will put it on our blacklist!”
