What To Look For in An Online Casino If You Are A Newbie

 

So, you have decided to try out online gambling. Naturally, an online casino is a place where you would want to go. You may have given this careful thinking, or you may have decided to jump into it on a whim. Either way, one of the first things that you would need is the place to gamble online–your casino.

However, there are simply too many choices for you to pick from, as there are thousands, if not tens of thousands of online casinos out there–and there are even newer ones that get established every day. You may try to read online casino reviews, but that, too, may end up as a confusing thing for you without the proper direction or approach. So how would you be able to easily find the online casino that is the right fit for you? Here are some of the most helpful tips that can narrow down your choices for you.

The basics

Of course, no one would want to go to an online casino that is not recognized as legal under the law. So, naturally, you’d want to make sure that the one that you are looking at is registered under the government. Additionally, one more thing you need to check would be applicable certifications that would prove that the games and software used by the site were inspected and were certified to be secure from rigging and are fair to players.

One more thing that you need to check is the availability of the payment and withdrawal methods that the site or app is offering. Do they accept the method that you are intending to use? Most of the time, an online casino would accept payments through credit and debit card, a bank transfer, and even the most popular e-money wallets.

These are only the basics. There are more other things that you would need to put into consideration, too.

Fair reviews

You may have had the idea to read reviews of casinos online. That is a good thing, but you should understand that you should not just read any reviews.

Did you know that not all reviews are real and trustworthy? Some positive reviews are called “affiliate reviews,” or reviews that have been paid for by the site developer to have a positive word about them published. On the other hand, not all negative reviews speak the truth about the site, too. Some can be maliciously posted, either by trolls or by people who are only disgruntled in one way or the other.

So, learn to distinguish a fair review from one that is not. Only fair reviews can give you a real and balanced perspective.

Great customer support

Since online casinos run on computer software, you know what that means–anything could go wrong anytime. When something out of the ordinary happens, you would want to have someone to assist you to fix the problem.

In situations like this, what would you prefer? Asking help via email only to get a response in three to five business days? Or to open a live chat and get support in real-time? This is how important good customer support is.

Live casino

Playing online casino games is fun–you get to play games at your own pace, at your own time. However, some people still long for the real human element of playing in a land-based casino–having a real person deal the games for you and seeing live, breathing humans interact with you. This is what live casinos can bring you, and this is one more thing that you should look for when finding the right online casino for you.

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.
