Platinum Play Bingo makes way for Giggle Bingo
Posted by Anthony in Bingo, Gambling industry, Games on February 8th, 2010
Further to our last email communication Platinum Play Bingo will be redirecting all traffic to the new brand “Giggle Bingo” as of today.
All tagged traffic sent to Platinum Play Bingo is now recorded and redirected to the new Giggle Bingo site, so Affiliates will still be credited for all players sent to either Platinum Play Bingo or Giggle Bingo.
Why the change?
Giggle Bingo’s thriving, secure bingo community is already making big waves in the bingo world.
Giggle Bingo has sky-rocketed in popularity since its successful launch on 14 September 2009 and has completely over-shadowed Platinum Play Bingo. The decision was therefore made to focus all our affiliate efforts on Giggle Bingo which we believe from early indicators will be a winning Bingo site for our partners.
As before, Giggle Bingo features all the same bingo rooms you would find on Platinum Play Bingo, including 90 Ball and 75 Ball Bingo PLUS the one of a kind Bingo Ball for Life promotion.
How does this effect me?
Affiliates who are still pushing Platinum Play Bingo should rather focus on Giggle Bingo as the brand response and the higher conversion rates is providing much higher revenues for any given amount of exposure given.
There are a range of banner options available for Giggle Bingo on the affiliate system.
Please contact your relationship manager if you need any assistance.
What’s news on Giggle Bingo?
Giggle Bingo recently launched a UK (http://www.gigglebingo.co.uk) and a Canadian (http://www.gigglebingo.ca) site to cater for the specific needs of these markets.
The Giggle Bingo site also recently received second place in the coveted WhichBingo.co.uk New Site of the Year award category.
Don’t miss the bingo craze – Giggle Bingo is riding high into 2010.
Customisable Casino .exe’s For Affiliates
Posted by Stiggy in Fortune Affiliates, Gambling industry, Partners, Promotions, Search Marketing, Technical on January 29th, 2010
Greetings webmasters! I trust you all fared well in the festive season 
Somewhere in all the mad winter rush we added a nice new feature to our casinos download process. Partners are now able to customise the name of the casino executable directly from their websites.
For the most part this does not effect any the normal traffic into our main brand sites, however for those guys and gals that like to link directly to our downloads and want a little more customisation.
Here’s how you do it!
The standard URL variables for a direct download
http://www.7sultans.eu/btag-yourtag/download.casino
When the download launches, it looks something like this.
This directly launches the download wraps the banner tag “btag-yourtag” into the software.
Visually : The standard executable for 7Sultans reads “7Sultans.exe” to the user.
The custom variable coder
An additional variable can now be added to the direct download that now re-names the exe while wrapping the partner tag on the fly.
The variable is called ‘filedisplayname’ and you can use any name to rename any EXE.
Here’s an example where we used “MySlotsSite” as the customised variable.
http://www.7sultans.eu/btag-yourtag/download.casino?filedisplayname=MySlotsSite.
Custom executable usage on your site!
How can a custom named .exe help me?
There are a number of circumstances where a custom named executable is handy to have, other times it’s a nice to have option for perfectionists.
- Co-branding | It looks like a casino, feels like a casino but is Your Own Casino
- Promotions | Any promotion you can dream up “Ipad casino download“
- Content Relevance | Download Hellboy Slot Game Now!
Possibilities are endless, boundless, great!

US players can only play the waiting game
Posted by Anthony in Gambling industry on June 29th, 2009
It seems that online casino operators hoping for a quick return to the US market will need to wait a little longer – Rep. Barney Frank, the chief proponent of legislation to legalize and regulate online gambling, is also the head of the US House Financial Services Committee. It seems that in the current climate of global economic woe his attention is focused on economic matters and the debate around online gambling legislation is set to resume only in September 2009. This is a blow for those online casino operators who were hoping for resolution.
Rep. Frank’s support for his online gambling legislation has grown recently, from both sides of the political spectrum. Lawmakers seem to be more understanding of the public’s desire to have the right to gamble online.
As for the outcome of the legislative process, only time will tell.

Mega Moolah Online Progressive Slot Machine sets new record
As a Fortune Affiliate you will be pleased to know that the Mega Moolah Online Progressive Slot has reached a massive $6,318,533 this week. This is a great opportunity to market the Fortune Lounge casino brands where players have a chance to win this life-changing jackpot.
Mega Moolah is a four-tier progressive jackpot that includes an exciting jackpot wheel feature that increases wins exponentially. The theme is set in the wild African jungle with lions, giraffes, zebras, elephants and monkeys representing the payline and bonus symbols.
Remember, you can find Mega Moolah marketing material by going to the “Marketing Material” section of the Fortune Affiliates site after you have logged in.
eCogra report on URL structure
You may recall that recently the Fortune Lounge sites changed over to a new URL structure in order to accommodate improvements to affiliate reporting.
The change was implemented and received the stamp of approval from eCogra (e-Commerce and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance) after a thorough audit was conducted to verify that the changes implemented did not impact on affiliate tracking information.
The New URL Structure
Posted by Anthony in Search Marketing, Technical on March 5th, 2009
Fortune Affiliates are making improvements to their reporting. Unfortunately, this requires you to make some changes to your media. Every piece of media pulled from the Fortune Affiliates website after the end of March will already reflect the new structures.
Changes to your old media items must be made after the following dates:
- Platinum Play Bingo – 5 March 2009
- Royal Vegas, 7Sultans, Poker Time and Vegas Palms – 17 March 2009
- All remaining brands – 31 March 2009
Now you may ask why the different dates? Simply because a staggered, careful approach will minimise the errors. Fortune can’t make money if you don’t send players and you can make much more money if you have better reporting and more accurate funnel analysis (which banners in what places work for me). So we have to work together on this. Fortune have also assured me that they will do everything in their power to make sure this process goes smoothly.
So why this change? It will allow FA and you to track your campaigns better in terms of optimising a campaign, or running a tiered affiliate operation, or even just looking at the full funnel.
So what if I don’t change? Well, Fortune will still track your players to you but they won’t be able to report on the players. Your players will still earn you revenue because Fortune have implemented a step that will map the old tags to your account.
I’ll be writing an article that will take you step by step through the processes of changing the old media you have. Don’t forget you can contact your relationship manager directly for any help or contact support@fortuneaffiliates.com
