I'm pleased to announce that the digital edition of the 37th issue of the GPWA Times magazine is now available online and the print edition be distributed next week in London at both the ICE Totally Gaming (EICE) conference and London Affiliate Conference (LAC). This issue will also be mailed out to our members, so please be sure to provide us with your mailing address if you would like a hard copy (see details below to make sure we mail you a copy).
This issue's cover story tackles a topic that is relevant no matter what time of year it may be. Lorien Pilling of Global Betting and Gaming Consultants looks into his crystal ball and explains why Mexico, Brazil, Columbia, India and Nigeria are the five emerging markets you must keep an eye on going forward.
Elsewhere, SEO expert and self-confessed "serial entrepreneur" Dan Horvat breaks down the essentials for picking the right domain name for your website, a task that's becoming more and more complex as the number of registered names continues to soar. One of the more important industry stories from last year involved Paysafe's acquisition of Income Access, so we grabbed the ear of VP of Business Development & Marketing, Lee-Ann Johnstone, who clarifies some key details of the transaction and tells us what to expect from the company moving forward.
You will likely recognize the author of our opinion piece regarding an immediate call for transparency within the industry. Yes, that's the work of our former editor-in-chief and iGaming conference regular Vin Narayanan, whose work we welcome back to the magazine.
In addition, there are four new affiliate interviews: GPWA member bobbygarg from India, Cat and Freakspin from Germany, and royalbonuses from Latvia now living in Cyprus. On the affiliate manager side we interview David Brabson of Allegro Affiliates and Edward Ihre of Ihre Consulting representing Codeta/Codetaff.
You'll also see some familiar faces in the photo gallery from the recent Berlin Affiliate Conference and get more industry news reading our regular departments: Quotables, By the Numbers, Event Calendar, the GPWA Sponsors roster, and the APCW Hall of Shame.
