Exclusive interview.- During the latest edition of iGB L!VE, Focus Gaming News spoke with representatives from some of the industry’s leading companies to find out about their latest developments and short-term goals.
In this interview, David Arutinyan, head of affiliates at 1xSlots, discussed the company’s plans in Latin America and his views on changing player behaviour there. He also shared his thoughts on how 1xSlots has managed to maintain a high level of reputation among its partners.
What’s new with 1xSlots, which new GEOs have opened, and what sources are you accepting?
Latin America is very important to us. We’re strong in Argentina, Colombia, and Chile, and now we’re also growing fast in Mexico. Our numbers are rising very quickly there, so it’s our next very important GEO in Latin America. We have big plans there.
Do you think player behaviour in LatAm is changing? What key points would you highlight in this transformation?
Yes, of course, because the generation is changing. Esports are becoming very popular, Bitcoin is coming into our world, and artificial intelligence is coming into our lives very fast. This can change the game directly, changing the style of traffic and the sources of traffic.
A new generation has grown up with smartphones and applications, etc. We are transforming our services to adapt to these new customers and the new generation in the industry.
You mentioned that Argentina is strong for you; what other GEOs in LatAm are you developing, and what challenges do you face in other markets?
Yes, we started to operate in Latin America from Argentina; it was our first market. We also work in Colombia, Chile and Mexico.
As regards the challenges we have in the region, in Argentina, for example, there were many regulatory changes, and a lot of influencers moved to other countries to continue creating content. In Chile and Mexico, the regulations are different, but we have good operations there. Our numbers are rising, and the number of customers coming to our platform is increasing.
We also have important support with the conversion rate in Argentina, which is higher than our competitors. So, if you’re looking for a high-converting brand, you can contact us directly, and we’ll be happy to collaborate.
Your brand is known for its trust among partners; how do you manage to maintain such a high level of reputation for so long?
We’ve been operating since 2017. If you search trusted affiliate programs or trusted brands, you’ll find us. We’ve never blocked a partner or delayed payments. We pay every week, on time. That’s why we’re considered trustworthy.
The history of the brand and our communication with partners make us good at making deals and getting results. That’s why we have a lot of partners and a strong reputation in the industry.
Where do you plan to be at exhibitions? How can partners contact you, and what do they need to collaborate with you?
This year, we are going to be at the SBC Summit in Lisbon. Then, we will be in Rome, at SiGMA Central Europe.
As for collaboration, affiliates with strong traffic sources are welcome. We work with all kinds of models: CPA, revenue share, hybrid, and fixed deals. We accept social media traffic and other traffic types. If someone has good, converting traffic, they just need to write to us, and we’ll support them with the best offers and assistance.
