Glitnor acquires affiliate powerhouse KaFe Rocks

 

Fast-growing igaming operator and games developer makes major play in the lead generation space

Glitnor Group, the fast-growing igaming operator and games provider, has acquired affiliate powerhouse KaFe Rocks Ltd for an undisclosed sum.

The acquisition spearheads Glitnor’s move into the lead generation space and will add to the long-term growth of the business.

As part of the takeover, KaFe Rocks Co-founder Feda Mecan will join the Glitnor board of directors# while CEO Simon Pilkington will join the Glitnor Group executive management team. The day-to-day management of KaFe Rocks will continue in its current format.

KaFe Rocks is a leading iGaming affiliate, with multiple Power Affiliate top 10 rankings and is also based in Malta, with a successful global portfolio of assets, diversified over 10+ markets, with its user-centric flagship brands time2play.com, and USCasinos.com focused heavily within the US market, alongside their own previous acquisition and key asset Online-slot.co.uk.

The acquisition complements Glitnor Group’s B2C business which currently includes online casino brands Lucky Casino and Gambola. The company is also making waves with its B2B business through its fast-growing casino content supplier, Swintt.

Founded by the creators of Maria Casino and Vera&John, Glitnor Group strives to be the most entrepreneurial business group in the iGaming industry.

The acquisition of KaFe Rocks helps progress that ambition and allows the company to drive further forward into lead generation. 

Glitnor Group CEO, David Flynn, said: “Glitnor is not shy about its ambitions to become a leading igaming group and the acquisition of KaFe Rocks and our move into the lead generation space is evidence of this.

“In KaFe Rocks we have an established business being run by an incredibly talented team that owns and operates a network of successful, reputable affiliate assets that will drive growth for the wider group.

“I look forward to working closely with Simon, Feda and the entire KaFe Rocks team of 170 Rocketeers as we further expand Glitnor Group’s Total Addressable Market across the iGaming and Sportsbook value-chain, offering reputable iGaming products and services around the world.”

KaFe Rocks CEO, Simon Pilkington, added: “I’ve been hugely impressed with the leadership team at Glitnor and am massively excited for what the future holds for both KaFe Rocks and the Glitnor Group. 

“Since initial talks began, it’s been clear that both companies share a vision for growth, but that they also value the people driving it and believe in developing a culture where people can thrive.

“The trust that they are showing in us to continue being KaFe Rocks is gratefully received and I’m extremely driven to deliver the results that will help the new group achieve its goals.”

Co-founder and Chairman of KaFe Rocks, Tim Tepass, also added: “At the heart of KaFe Rocks’ success is its people; for us as the owners of KaFe Rocks it’s been imperative that we look to accelerate growth through finding the right people to work with going forwards, and in David and his fantastic team at Glitnor Group we are adamant we’ve found just that. 

In Glitnor Group, we know that the future of KaFe Rocks and its Rocketeers is in great hands, and I look forward to being able to lend our experience and desire to help drive Glitnor forward to a level of growth that we fully believe in and support. 

We have a shared belief in creating products that are for the user, and I know that together, Glitnor will build on its already impressive progress.”

N1 Brand Series: RollXO — Brand Breakdown & Traffic Setups

Published

on

Picked a brand but not sure how to turn your traffic into profit? Looking for really working bundles? Want to understand the iGaming product better in order to scale efficiently?

N1 Partners team has launched N1 Brand Series — practical product reviews from experts with a focus on real working approaches, metrics, and peculiarities.

This article is dedicated to RollXO — read how to get the most out of the brand!

RollXO: product review

RollXO focuses on modern user experience, a wide range of game content, fast onboarding of players, a user-friendly interface and a diverse bonus program.

  • Brand: RollXO
  • GEO: AU, NZ, AT, DE, CA, CH, IE
  • Main vertical: casino, betting
  • Target audience: users aged 25-55 interested in online casinos, slots and live games, focused on a fast and convenient gaming experience
  • Player value: ease of use, quick access to games, bonuses and promo mechanics
  • Features / advantages: simple and fast registration form, user-friendly UX, a wide selection of slots and live games, as well as the speed of deposits/withdrawals and regular promos
  • Reg2Dep:
    PPC 40-55%
    FB: 25-35%
    SEO: 40-45%
  • Retention Rate: 25-35%
  • LTV: up to 1500 EUR

Conversion and user behaviour 

Conversion is influenced by traffic quality and relevance, registration speed, first deposit bonuses, the convenience of payment methods, and the level of trust in the product.

For retention at RollXO, the most effective tools are personalized bonuses, VIP/loyalty programs, as well as communication through SMS, push notifications, in-app messages, email, stories, and inbox channels with continuous updates of gaming content.

After the first deposit, player behavior largely depends on their initial experience: some continue actively following promotions through communication channels, while others engage with on-site offers within the product itself, such as promotions, tournaments, bonus offers, and other mechanics available on the website.

Bonus policy

The RollXO brand uses a variety of bonus mechanisms: welcome and reload bonuses, free spins, free bets, cashback, VIP/loyalty rewards, lotteries, tournaments, loot boxes, wheel of fortune, a bonus shop, and limited-time promotions.

  • Best-converting: simple and easy-to-understand bonuses that provide clear value to the player — enhanced welcome bonuses, free spins, cashback, and personalised offers.

 

  • Less effective: complex mechanics with unclear conditions or overloaded/insufficient communication.

 

  • Common mistakes: overly long communication texts without specific details or clear bonus requirements. In addition, an excessive volume of promotional communications can lead to lower player engagement.

Creatives and traffic types

At RollXO, creatives that focus on clear and specific value propositions perform best, for example, those that highlight a bonus or reward. It is also important to adapt creatives to the specific GEO, audience, and gaming preferences.

Creatives overloaded with bonuses perform poorly: three or more bonuses displayed on a small image can confuse players and discourage them from engaging with such communications. Additionally, the effectiveness of creatives declines over time if visuals and offers are not refreshed.

The most effective traffic sources depend on the region, creative quality, and audience-product fit. The primary channels are SEO, PPC, Influence, and Facebook.

Top 3 traffic setups for RollXO

Setup #1

This setup pays for itself due to the high quality of traffic. Despite a potentially high deposit cost (slightly above average), it can deliver strong results and attract an active audience.

  • Traffic Source: Facebook
  • GEO: AU
  • Page Type: PWA
  • Approach: The creative is built around the Dragon Train slot. Large multipliers x15 / x10 / x5 appear on the screen from the very first seconds, drawing attention to the possibility of a significant win.

The lower part of the creative displays the new player bonus as well as the payment methods available for making a deposit.

  • Why it works: A static creative with a clear visual structure. The game and bonus are immediately visible, while all key information can be understood within 1-2 seconds without unnecessary visual noise.
  • Risks / Limitations: Potentially higher deposit cost.

Setup #2

This approach can attract a broader audience, while its key advantage is a significantly lower deposit cost compared to average benchmarks.

If acquisition costs can be maintained at a low level, this approach can work effectively for scaling and blending traffic with higher-quality audiences.

  • Traffic Source: Facebook
  • GEO: NZ
  • Page Type: PWA
  • Approach: A popular influencer is selected based on the target GEO and age group, after which a high-quality deepfake with accurate lip-syncing is created. In the creative, the influencer talks about fast gameplay and winning opportunities: “If you have X amount of money, you can try this slot/casino.”
    It is important that the mentioned amount exceeds the minimum deposit, as this helps attract a higher-quality audience. The video then showcases gameplay, including bonuses, multipliers, and winning spins.
  • Why it works: Trust in the influencer, their recognisability, the visual appearance of a physical casino, and the slot demonstration work together to capture audience attention effectively.

An additional advantage is the low entry threshold: the creative mentions a relatively small amount that users can potentially start with and still have a chance to win.

  • Risks / Limitations: Lower audience quality.

Setup #3

This setup can attract a higher-quality audience, but the key factor is the consistency of the funnel. The PWA, FP, and domain should visually align with a specific land-based casino. This increases trust in the offer and positively impacts conversion rates.

  • Traffic Source: Facebook
  • GEO: CA
  • Page Type: PWA
  • Approach: The creative is centred around a well-known land-based casino shown from a visually striking angle that is immediately recognisable to the audience.
    Bonuses and payment methods are displayed at the bottom, while the top section features the message “(Name of the land-based casino) is now officially online.”
  • Why it works: Recognition of the land-based casino increases trust in the offer, while all key information is communicated quickly and without unnecessary visual clutter.
  • Risks / Limitations: Ad rejections.

Based on the RollXO review, several key factors make the brand a strong product for scaling. The brand delivers strong performance thanks to its user-friendly product, high player engagement, and effective retention mechanisms.

With proper creative adaptation, a well-structured funnel, and high-quality traffic, the brand can consistently generate profit and successfully scale volumes in Tier-1 markets.

Launch RollXO with N1 Partners, and scale your campaigns with top conditions:

  • 14+ casino and betting brands with high Reg2Dep and LTV;
  • 10+ Tier-1 GEOs;
  • CPA up to €700 and RevShare up to 55% + NNCO for top affiliates;
