Voting Open! Support Boomerang Partners’ 3 Nominations at AffPapa iGaming Awards 2024

Boomerang Partners eyes triple crown at AffPapa iGaming Awards 2024 for its recent standout in the affiliate marketing domain by providing top-tier services and player offerings
Boomerang Partners, a leading global operator in the online sports betting and casino gaming industry, has been nominated for three categories at the prestigious AffPapa iGaming Awards 2024:
- Affiliate Programme of the Year,
- Marketing of the Year,
- Bonus Offer of the Year.
This recognition highlights Boomerang’s relentless efforts to provide exceptional services and support to its growing network of affiliates.
“We are honored to be nominated for these esteemed AffPapa iGaming Awards,” said Vitalii Prokofev, CEO of Boomerang Partners. “The appreciation from the esteemed AffPapa community, a global platform for professionals and collaboration in the iGaming industry, underscores the trust and confidence our brand has earned through our unwavering commitment to excellence and fostering strong, mutually beneficial relationships with our partners and clients.”
Boomerang Partners’ trajectory of success is further exemplified by its previous accolades, including the “Casino of the Year” at the SiGMA BALKANS/CIS Awards 2023, the “Commission Offer Of The Year” at the AffPapa iGaming Awards 2023, and “The Best PPC Affiliate” at the SiGMA Europe Awards 2023 — highlighting its industry significance and approval by industry leaders.
The Affiliate Programme of the Year nomination is well-deserved by Boomerang Partners not only due to the widespread trust among industry affiliates — the program demonstrated a 135% growth in its active partner base from 2,200 to over 5,200 in 2023, with payouts exceeding €50 million to its satisfied partners. But also for the initiatives it offers to its affiliates, such as launching the prestigious Golden Boomerang Awards 2024 in February, an annual global traffic tournament. Running to May 14th, this exclusive competition allows affiliates to showcase their expertise in driving high-value traffic while vying for grand prizes, including coveted golden trophies.
The voting phase for the AffPapa iGaming Awards 2024 is ongoing and will conclude on May 3rd, with the winners being announced at a ceremony in Malaga, Spain on May 27th during the iGaming Club Conference hosted by AffPapa. Boomerang Partners encourages its valued partners and industry peers to participate in the voting process and support their preferred nominees.

Affiliate Leaders Summit Grows 40% as Global Operators and Affiliates Flock to Lisbon

Following a successful run, the Affiliate Leaders Summit will make its return to the Feira Internacional de Lisboa (FIL) this September, now expanded to a three-day format and featuring the debut of the Affiliate Leaders Awards.
Taking place from 16–18 September, the Affiliate Leaders Summit runs alongside SBC Summit as a focused, standalone platform for affiliates, affiliate managers, and enabling suppliers. It also delivers a more targeted networking and learning experience, with a dedicated content stage and curated audience of 8,000 operator representatives and 3,500 affiliates.
Affiliate Leaders Summit delegates will also enjoy full access to wider SBC Summit features, including evening socials, the main expo floor, and Super Stage keynotes from leading voices such as Gary Vaynerchuk.
Rasmus Sojmark, Founder and CEO of SBC, said: “Last year’s launch of the Affiliate Leaders Summit was a big milestone for us. The response was incredible, but we knew we could do even more. That’s why this year, we’re giving it the time it deserves; three full days to ensure attendees can take in everything this event has to offer.
“We’re also introducing the Affiliate Leaders Awards, which I’m personally very excited about. Affiliates play a vital role in this industry, and it’s time we had a platform that truly celebrates their work alongside the operator programmes and suppliers who help make it all happen.”
A 40% expansion of the 2025 show floor also underscores the event’s rising influence, following 2024’s debut that earned standout NPS ratings—79 from affiliates and 68 from operators. This year’s exhibitor list is stacked with leaders of the field, including Catena Media, Clever Advertising, Evoke, Flashscore, Kaizen Gaming, Medier, Megapari, Novibet, and Shake, offering attendees direct access to key players across the affiliate and operator landscape.
On the conference side of things, the Affiliate Leaders Stage at this year’s summit delivers a powerful three-day journey through the evolution of affiliate marketing, starting with the martech tools redefining performance and partnerships, moving into audience-focused strategies that tap into community-driven SEO and smarter collaboration, and culminating in a forward-looking exploration of AI, diversification beyond Google, and the future role of affiliate managers.
With debates, CEO insights, hands-on workshops, and panels tackling everything from automation and CRM to content authenticity and deal transparency, this stage arms attendees with the ideas, tools, and strategies needed to thrive in a rapidly shifting digital landscape.
The conference sessions will bring together some of the biggest names in affiliate marketing, including Jonathan Edelshaim (CEO, Natural Intelligence), Elaine Gardiner-Ruddock (Managing Director, TAG Media), Peter Gunni (CEO, Traffic Lab), Filip Komljenovic (Head of Sales, Sofascore), Deb Lee (Director of AI & Data Operations, CILA, Entain), Andre Machado (CCO, Clever Advertising), Leanne Muleba (Chief Operations Officer, Matching Visions), and Johan Styren (CEO & Co-founder, Dilanti Media).
Those joining the Affiliate Leaders Summit will benefit not only from the tailored content on the dedicated stage and Super Stage but also from the addition of the Global Markets and Emerging Markets stages. With affiliates and operators among the most curious about cross-border growth, these new stages provide an ideal opportunity to explore regional strategies and understand new audiences.
Affiliate and operator attendees can expect the VIP treatment at the Affiliate Leaders Summit, with complimentary access to the event’s premium evening networking lineup. That includes the high-energy Opening Party with Joel Corry and Imanbek, and the return of INFINITY Lisbon, featuring electrifying performances from Alok and Timmy Trumpet.
Sojmark added: “The Affiliate Leaders Summit is designed to make networking and easier by giving you a dedicated space to connect. But the hospitality doesn’t stop there. You’re part of the full SBC Summit experience. With access to all six stages, complimentary food and drinks at the Food Festival, and the freedom to explore every area of the event, you’re welcome to engage as widely as you like. The Affiliate Leaders Summit simply helps you focus your efforts where they matter most.”
