ThePOGG Milestone: $1 million returned to players via casino complaints

ThePOGG.com is proud to announce a milestone for the site as we have returned over $1 million to players. ThePOGG prides itself on providing a quality mediation process for players that is free to use.
Stats at a Glance
Just how much has been returned to players this year? How much is the average complaint worth to the player? What’s the average daily return to the playing community? You’ll be surprised to learn how much ThePOGG gives back to players through their casino complaints service.
Stats all time
Income recovered for players: Over $1 million USD
Total number of complaints: 1006
Average value of a complaint: $996
Stats in the past 12 months
Total money recovered: $346835

“Over the last 6 years ThePOGG.com’s complaint service has, in my opinion, consistently offered the most thorough and balanced dispute mediation service within the remote gambling market. Our attention to the details of each case and active participation in every complaint discussion ensures that our service delivers the best possible outcome in the highest possible number of complaint situations. I have always felt that to deliver the service that our players deserve we need to engage with every complaint, get to know the details, so that where a player has been wronged we can take the necessary steps to rectify the situation or, where an operator are unwilling to treat the player fairly, assertively warn other players to avoid that operator. This has played out time and time again where we’ve managed to get players with complex cases paid.
It’s fantastic to see the service growing at a significant rate, having doubled the number of complaints dealt with year on year and the total money returned in far less than 18 months. We all want an industry with no complaints – and we could move closer to that if players just took a little time and looked for genuinely good operators before they signed up – but there will always be disagreements between players and operators and as long as that continues we intend to be here to help players get an impartial opinion on their case.” – said Duncan Garvie, Manager & ADR Official

Affilka by SOFTSWISS Unveils Updates for Affiliates

Affilka by SOFTSWISS, an award-winning affiliate management software platform, has announced a suite of new product updates for the affiliates. The latest release introduces a Traffic Report with advanced clicks analytics, an API for extracting campaigns and tracking links, and a sub-affiliate NGR-based revenue share model.
Traffic Report: In-depth Click Analysis
This new Traffic Report focuses on detailed click-level analytics, offering in-depth insights into clicks, registrations, deposits, and conversion rates such as click-to-reg and click-to-FTD – all in one place. It includes several key features for flexible data analysis:
- Multi-dimensional filtering and data grouping: The report enables users to filter and break down the data into granular views across multiple dimensions, offering detailed insights by traffic source, campaign, country, device type, IP address, and more. Notably, click data is transferred to the report in real time, providing instant visibility into user activity.
- CSV data export: The report supports one-click CSV export, allowing affiliates to easily download raw data for offline analysis or sharing.
- Historical data access: Affiliates can review traffic statistics from 1 January 2023, enabling year-on-year comparisons and long-term trend evaluation.
Gleb Bichan, Product Lead at Affilka by SOFTSWISS, comments: “At Affilka, we know how crucial it is for operators and affiliates alike to make data-driven decisions. That’s why we’re introducing tools like the Traffic Report to help partners become more productive and uncover new insights faster.”
API for Marketing Campaigns and Tracking Links
In addition to the existing Reports API, affiliates can now access data on their marketing campaigns and tracking links directly via API, allowing for automated data extraction and custom integrations. With this API access, users can retrieve up-to-date lists of marketing campaigns, promo codes, and related performance metrics directly via API calls. This improvement helps Affilka clients automate their reporting workflows and integrate affiliate data with external BI tools, reducing manual effort and ensuring timely access to key information.
New Sub-affiliate Revenue Share Model
Responding to client feedback, Affilka’s team also features a new sub-affiliate reward type. This allows affiliates to earn a commission based on the Net Gaming Revenue (NGR) generated by players referred by their sub-affiliates, offering a more direct revenue-sharing approach. By aligning earnings with the actual revenue brought in by sub-affiliates, the update incentivises collaboration and gives experienced affiliates a stronger stake in mentoring their referred partners.
Gleb Bichan adds: “For us, it’s important that affiliates not only use the product but also feel it’s built with their real needs in mind. We regularly gather feedback and implement improvements that make daily workflows more transparent and efficient. Features like the Traffic Report, API access, and new reward types are direct responses to partner requests – and we’re not stopping there. We plan to introduce even more tools designed to simplify affiliate operations, so stay tuned for upcoming updates.”
Affilka by SOFTSWISS will be presented at iGB in London from 3 to 4 July 2025. Attendees of the event can learn more about new features directly from the Affilka team and see how these innovations support better affiliate programme management.
