ThePOGG.com – ADR Service Passes $2.5 Million Returned to Players

 

ThePOGG.com is delighted to announce that their complaints service has reached another milestone – as of Friday the 6th of September 2019 – the service has returned over $2,500,000 to players!

Almost exactly 2 years ago to the day, after over 4 years of operation, we reported that we’d recovered $1,000,000 of player funds – so it is clear to see that year-on-year our service is growing significantly. We are experiencing a huge increase in the number of players making use of our service and this is reflected in the fact that our total funds returned to players has increased by over 150% in the last two years. On average we have returned $62,500 per month in the last 2 years – over double what was returned per month at our previous landmark – a figure of $28k per month. Similarly, in September 2017 we had logged 1033 closed complaints and 58 open complaints; in Sept 2019 (so far) we are logging almost 2500 closed complaints and 159 open complaints – so this figure too is growing!

Beyond simply the cumulative amount returned to players, we can also iterate that in the last two years we have returned on average $2054/day to the playing community (more than double the per day value at the $1,000,000 mark). For the duration of the lifetime of our service this means that on average, by taking the time to submit a complaint to ThePOGG.com, the average player finds themselves $1041 better off as a result of doing so.

Our Complaints Manager has a wealth of experience in this field and as such understands the minutiae of the issues players may find themselves experiencing. The quality of the service has been recognised by the Malta Gaming Authority, who currently approve ThePOGG.com as an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) provider. Under this remit ThePOGG.com currently provides ADR provision to close to a hundred MGA licensed operators.

The regulatory based remit that ThePOGG’s complaint service fulfils makes it unique within the affiliate sector complaint management outlets, reflecting our service’s experience and professionalism.

It has been a privilege to assist so many players recovering funds to date and we sincerely hope that the money returned has made a significant difference to the lives of the player’s and their families. We take great pride in having helped so many people and look forward to helping many more in the years to come.

Finally we want to remind players of our free Responsible Gambling app BetBlocker. If you are struggling to control your gambling or feel that it may be time to take a break, BetBlocker put the control back in your hands by allowing you to restrict your device from accessing over 6.5k gambling websites.

How to maximize results from event-driven traffic

The summer month offers affiliates working with N1 Bet, RollXO, and Lucky Hunter through N1 Partners a strong environment to attract new players, increase FTD volumes, and scale existing campaigns across Tier-1 GEOs, supported by consistently high audience demand. With N1 Sport Promo running until July 20, affiliates still have time to maximize higher CPA rates while sports engagement remains at its seasonal peak.

Top promos for N1 Partners projects in July

This July, partners can take advantage of exclusive seasonal campaigns for players across N1 Partners’ leading brands, designed to drive stronger performance and help them get more from every visitor they refer.

Road to Riches Lottery (RollXO, N1 Bet)
Period: 01.07–25.08
Prize pool: €500,000

Road to Riches is the biggest lottery campaign in the project’s history, featuring a €500,000 total prize pool, 8 weekly stages, and 700 winners. With weekly prize drops and increasing stage prize pools, the promotion is designed to boost player engagement, retention, and repeat deposits—helping affiliates maximize traffic value throughout the campaign.

 Winning Tips for July Sports Traffic

  • Treat the World Cup as a sequence of conversion peaks rather than a single final, as each knockout round has its own performance window under the promo.
  • Shift budgets dynamically between sports instead of overfocusing on one event: Wimbledon, F1, UFC, and esports often perform better once football CPMs peak.
  • Build creatives that reflect tournament progression (for instance, “Quarter-finals pressure” and “Road to the final”), not static team messaging.
  • Combine Sports Betting and Prediction Markets on N1 Bet to capture different user motivations during the same event cycle.
  • Reallocate traffic during promo weeks, as in the N1 Sport Promo timing can impact revenue almost as much as volume.

Join N1 Partners

N1 Partners at iGB L!VE 2026: Bringing Together Affiliates, Art and Innovation

Published

on

N1 Partners team has wrapped up its participation at iGB L!VE London 2026. Over the course of the two-day conference, the company unveiled its new N1 Duality booth concept, presented exclusive art collaborations as part of a capsule collection created with fashion illustrator Clym Evernden, launched the first drop of custom designer toys in collaboration with Yoomoota, and introduced the limited-edition SPLIT: London merch collection.

Special attention was also given to N1 Sport Promo — a campaign for affiliates working with sports traffic and the Prediction Markets vertical.

Over the two days, the conference served as a platform for hundreds of meetings with partners, conversations with industry media, and presentations of new opportunities for scaling affiliate businesses.

N1 Duality: When Art Becomes a Part of Networking

Throughout both days, N1 Partners’ booth remained one of the busiest destinations at iGB L!VE London. N1 Duality concept brought together business networking, contemporary art, and interactive experiences, transforming it into a space for meetings, new connections, and discussions of future collaborations.

The experience centrepiece was a live art performance by British artist Clym Evernden, who has collaborated with global luxury brands including Hermès, Prada, Tiffany, Diptyque, and others. Throughout the exhibition, he created a large-scale artwork directly on the booth walls using his signature continuous-line illustration technique.

Visitors were able to watch the creative process unfold in real time, receive original sketches, signed postcards, and exclusive merchandise from the capsule collection designed specifically for N1 Partners by the artist, including a tote bag, T-shirt, scarf, socks, and scented candles.

Another major premiere was the collaboration with designer and creator Yoomoota, whose works have been exhibited at PAD London, Art Miami, and the Red Dot Museum and featured in Forbes, Hypebeast, Vice, Elle Decor, and Designboom.

Exclusively for the conference, Yoomoota created a collectible designer toy that became part of N1 Partners’ limited-edition gift collection and quickly turned into one of the most talked-about pieces of the brand’s exclusive drop. 

And this is only the beginning — new exclusive designer toys created by N1 Partners and Yoomoota are already in development for SBC Summit Lisbon and SiGMA Europe Rome.

The interactive DICES game, branded giveaways, and an atmosphere of open communication made the booth a natural meeting point for affiliates, clients, and industry professionals throughout the event.

iGB L!VE London 2026 Highlights

iGB L!VE London provided an excellent opportunity to reconnect with existing partners, meet new industry professionals, and discuss future cooperation opportunities.

Among the key outcomes of the conference for the N1 Partners team:

  • Presentation of the N1 Duality concept and the new SPLIT: London merchandise collection;
  • Exclusive art collaborations with British fashion illustrator Clym Evernden for the capsule collection and designer Yoomoota for the custom collectible toy series;
  • Presentation of N1 Sport Promo for affiliates working with sports traffic and the Prediction Markets vertical;
  • 300+ meetings with existing and prospective partners;
  • 10+ interviews and media productions with leading industry publications;
  • More than 2,400 pieces of exclusive merchandise and branded gifts distributed by N1 Partners.

iGB L!VE London 2026 has been one of the most exciting and productive exhibitions of the year for us. We held dozens of meetings with partners, explored new opportunities for business growth, and received an outstanding response to N1 Sport Promo.

I’d also like to highlight our creative collaborations with designers Clym Evernden, who developed our exclusive capsule collection, and Yoomoota, who created our custom collectible toys. Together, we succeeded in bringing affiliate business, art, and creativity into one shared experience.

We’re grateful to all our partners for the productive meetings we had during this event in London. Face-to-face communication is what lays the foundation for new projects, stronger partnerships, and long-term growth,” said Alexa Bond, Head of Affiliates at N1 Partners.
