Affiliates at the Forefront of CasinoBeats Summit’s Educational Experience
At the eagerly-awaited fifth edition of the CasinoBeats Summit, the specifically-curated ‘Affiliation’ track will provide attending affiliates with an exceptional educational opportunity by enhancing their understanding of the operations and best practices in affiliate marketing.
Taking place on 25 May at the InterContinental Hotel in Malta, the track will feature some of the savviest minds in the industry who will explore topics such as better data adoption for affiliates, platform strategies for casino streamers, and how affiliates can ensure that their opinions are heard and their interests are considered when communicating with business partners.
In addition, attendees will have a unique chance to participate in three in-depth SEO sessions hosted by ComeOn Group’s SEO Director, Ivana Flynn. These sessions will delve into technical aspects, new markets, and marketing strategies and enable affiliates to shape the panel discourse, by anonymously posing their most pressing questions online.
The panel titled “Affiliate Voice – What Do Affiliates Really Want?” will feature industry affiliate leaders, explore the relationship between operators and affiliates and reflect on how transparency of data and new negotiation styles can improve their interactions. The esteemed panel will include Sam (Shmulik) Segal (Co-Founder & CEO, MediaTroopers), Fintan Costello (Managing Director, BonusFinder.com) and Tejinder Kumar (CCO, Finixio). The discussion will be moderated by Rafael Costa (Affiliate Manager, NOK Services).
The “Mitigating the Impact of Ad Fraud in Affiliation” panel will explore the impact of ad fraud on both operators and consumers, and how the industry can work to mitigate the effects of these bad actors. The expert panel will feature Johan Styren (CEO, Dilanti Media), Dariia (CPO, MegaPartners), and Vadim Aidlin (CEO, Mamuta Media). These industry leaders will share their experiences and insights on how to tackle the rise of bots targeting bonus offers on affiliate sites, which saw a dramatic increase during the pandemic.
Rounding up the second conference day for the affiliate track will be the SEO Trilogy series, allowing attendees to gain crucial insights into technical SEO, effective strategies for building SEO in new and saturated markets, and the crucial role SEO plays within the marketing funnel. Ivana Flynn will host the series, which will feature experts such as Lasha Kiladze (SEO Consultant & Co-Founder, LK Gambling), Maja Jovancevic (Head of SEO, GIG), Edoardo Ganetti (SEO Director at Gambling.com), Maria Sayapina (Head of Performance, Game Lounge) and Eitan Gorodetsky (CMO, Kitcode) among others.
Aksel Heitman Olsen (CTO, Acroud), will moderate the first session, while Flynn will moderate the second and third sessions. With a unique opportunity to ask questions anonymously, participants can directly influence the discussion on stage and address their most pressing pain points and concerns.
Apart from the above topics, the track will feature a range of dynamic panels, including an exclusive presentation from SlotCatalog, the leading affiliate site with the largest database of casino games, as well as insights into casino streaming trends and player demographics. Participants can also explore how to leverage new technology for better data management and to stay ahead of the curve in this rapidly-evolving industry.
The ‘Affiliation’ track is just one part of the action-packed CasinoBeats Summit, which boasts an impressive line-up of expert-led panels across four additional conference tracks. With three stages running simultaneously each day, attendees will have abundant opportunities to explore diverse subjects, including Leadership, Casino Slots, Casino Product, and Global Casino.

Affiliate Announcements
Management Buyout Successfully Completed at ReferOn
ReferOn, an affiliate management platform for the iGaming sector, today revealed the successful conclusion of a management buyout. Former General Manager Alex Bukin purchases the platform, moving the company into its next stage of independent growth. Bukin will take on the position of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to advance the company.
Assessing the platform’s path three years after its launch, Alex Bukin, CEO of ReferOn remarked: “This is a significant moment for ReferOn and marks the start of a new phase for the company.” The management buyout offers us the long-term perspective needed to consistently enhance the platform. We uphold our dedication to product development, enhancing our solutions for partners, and facilitating ReferOn’s ongoing expansion in significant markets.
The acquisition comes after a significant phase of advancement for the firm. Established on a base of operational effectiveness and scalable technology, ReferOn persists in expanding its footprint throughout the industry. In its initial year, the platform announced 35.7 million clicks, 2.4 million sign-ups, 18,000 affiliates, and 136,000 active trackers. The company’s extensive range of tools enhances flexibility for operators and affiliates, generating momentum that recently led to ReferOn being recognized as the “Best Affiliate Platform” in 2025 and 2026 by key industry players.
This change will not impact daily operations; assistance and current collaborations will continue as normal. As part of its continuous growth strategy, ReferOn is enhancing its product lineup with the introduction of new features, such as Refie, the integrated interface layer of the platform. The platform continually improves user experience and security via dynamic reporting, Company Grouping, Sub-Affiliation, Independent Deal Calculation (IDC), two-factor authentication (2FA), and thorough mobile optimization.
To maintain operational continuity, the current leadership team stays intact, guaranteeing stability as the company moves into its next phase of growth. With Bukin’s appointment as CEO, Vlad Bondarenko has moved from Head of Product to Chief Product Officer, and David Harris, who was previously Operations Lead, has become Chief Operations Officer. As the organization embarks on its next phase, it continues to prioritize equipping operators with top-tier tools and a dedication to providing the future of affiliate management.
