Content king as Covid boosts competition in Asian affiliates

The affiliate market in Asia’s online gambling industry is expanding, with Covid giving an additional push, but any website without deep and local content will struggle to survive. As the pandemic forced people to stay at home there was a shift to online in all aspects of daily life, but it proved a mixed blessing for Asia’s affiliate industry. It’s true players shifted online, but there was also a major hit to consumer spending power as companies furloughed workers.“Operators and affiliates had to restructure the way they have been working by sending everyone to work from home and this had an impact on acquisition and payments,” said Dov Allin, CEO of Marketing Cross Media. “Acquisition and player value rose at the beginning as players had more time to play from home. But if your business grew more than 25 percent in 2021, well done.”
