I'm very pleased to report the fifth edition of the GPWA Times Magazine is now published and is being distributed at the Poker Conference and at CAP Spring Break in Cyprus this week.

GPWA Times Magazine - Fifth Issue Cover
Once again, based on popular demand, this issue continues our interview series with both GPWA portal webmasters and affiliate program managers. Our affiliate interviews feature casinolatte, Fortune Palace, pokertramp, SharBear613 and Tyson. And our affiliate manager interviews include Aaron O'Sullivan of 32Red Affiliates, Dean Bosci of PDC Affiliates, Katerina Milfaitova of AffiliateClub.com, Lee Knott of PartnerLogic, Nadine Cassar of ShareTheChilli.com.
In our cover story Alister Nield of Webscreen Systems enlightens us about some of the ways cyber criminals prey upon online gaming sites, including the use of botnets to launch DDoS attacks. And Attorney's Joe Kelly and Gary Ehrlich give their perspective on America's "Cold War" against online gambling.
On a cheerier note, our own Rebecca Liggero gives us an up close and personal introduction to online poker's top 10 characters, and Gary Trask weights the pros and cons of using freerolls as a marketing tool. Plus, we announce the winning caption for issue 4's captionless cartoon contest and include a new one in this issue as well as another GPWA crossword puzzle.
