In light of recent industry events, operators decided to come together and form Gambling Affiliate Programs.

“CAP and PAP have great affiliate communities, which have been a pleasure to work with, so this was a difficult decision to make,” stated Affiliate Director Shaun O’Neil of Wager Profits back on March 5th, 2009 when the popular online poker and casino affiliates decided to yank their PAP/CAP certifications. “Unfortunately, we believe it is questionable to think that CAP and PAP will be able to operate effectively without a management team that has proven integrity, and until this rift is dealt with and all the facts are known. Perhaps what the industry needs is an independent non-profit organization providing certification and related services, along the lines that Microgaming spearheaded with Ecogra for Operations Certification, i.e. an organization funded by the operators with common pricing and clear rules and a code of conduct. We would certainly be interested in participating or being in the forefront of such an initiative.”

This alliance is a group of operators proactively joining forces to discuss ways in which they can create unification within the industry; to foster the development of relationships between operators and affiliates. The member programs have agreed upon an agenda for the general meeting, and intend to arrive at a consensus on the major industry issues, which include events and conferences, affiliate communities, certification and the role of GAP itself.

“The formation of GAP is a proactive step forward for the respected members of the online gaming affiliate industry,” said one of the Program Members. “The General Meeting will help attending programs to establish industry goals and standards, ensuring professionalism, accountability and transparency in this ever-growing sector. We at are looking forward to the meeting and the great potential it provides.”

Programs not yet registered are invited to do so at www.gamblingaffiliateprograms.org. GAP’s mission is to ensure that the online gaming industry will be managed and networked professionally and effectively in the future, and that operators, gaming affiliate programs and the affiliates themselves have a resource in place that best represents their needs and those of their business partners.

This first GAP General Meeting is being held in advance of the Casino Affiliate Convention 2009, in Amsterdam. CAC is taking place from March 30th until April 1st at the the NH Grand Krasnapolsky Hotel.
