Quality Mark Responsible Affiliates (QMRA) is a quality certificate for iGaming Affiliates. Affiliates from various jurisdictions (among which Sweden, Germany, Spain, Ontario CA and more) are welcome to join.
Gentoo, former GiG Media, decided to make QMRA membership for its websites policy in June 2024.
This week, Gentoo added multiple geo’s from Time2Play.Com to QMRA (recently acquired from Kafe Rocks), as well as several other websites (covering markets like Germany, Ontario and more).
The added websites will be checked by the QMRA Compliance Team, after which they will receive the Quality Mark and an online certificate. After one year, every website will be recertified.
This application was the largest so far by Gentoo: adding 12 geo’s/websites. In total, Gentoo now has 24 websites and/or geo’s connected to QMRA.
