[Renee]

Hey there! Even though the weather here in Sydney, Australia is still pretty nice, we can start to feel that cold chill in the air once night hits. The days are shorter since we have gone back to regular, non daylight savings time which means it's light again in the mornings on my way to work, but dark on my way out of the office. I really hate winter All of that doesn't matter though because next month we will be heading to Europe where the sun will be shining, even if for only a few days. I think I'm more excited to be seeing you guys though Let's just hope the volcano doesn't erupt again and put everyone out.. (or rather let's hope that if it does decide to blow again it's while we are all in Prague so we are stuck there together). I hope that anyone who got stuck somewhere has now safely returned home. There isn't much to tell this month as you can tell by the short newsletter, but that's just because we have been working so hard to get some new stuff done behind the scenes.. I can't wait for the next couple of months. They are going to be HUGE for Rewards Affiliates... Have fun guys and hopefully see you in Prague next month! Renee Renee@RewardsAffiliates.com The iGaming Super Show in Prague next month is fast approaching. Can you believe it's less than a month away now? We can't. It feels like the LAC in London was only yesterday. Just in case you're unsure of what the Super Show entails, it's going to be a HUGE conference where both sides of the iGaming Business world come together in one place for one amazingly massive event. Basically like the LAC and ICE combined in one huge expo hall. It looks like the halls are almost full for the exhibition so there will be more than enough people to see and do business with while you're there. This will definitely be the event of the year to attend. A couple of us will be heading to Budapest for a few days before the event, so if you happen to be living in Budapest or will be there between the 21st and 24th of May, please send us an email so we can meet up! We will be arriving in Prague on the 24th of May with a few of us leaving on the 28th, Renee staying on until the 30th. We will all be available on our blackberries via email during this time so if you're not attending and have any issues, please don't hesitate to send us an email. On the other hand, email will be the perfect way to get in touch with us if you can't find us at the event. If you'd like to organise a meeting please send us an email at Support@RewardsAffiliates.com or to our individual email addresses. If you haven't already registered you can do so here: www.iGamingSuperShow.com Attendance is free for everyone! Yet another fantastic reason to come along! Rewards Affiliates has organised some pretty awesome and unique goodies for the show, so please come past our booth and say hello.. You never know, you might get lucky See you at the show! Yes, that's right! The long awaited peel banners are FINALLY here! We have been bragging about some new marketing tools that are coming out and these are just another one to cross off our long list. Peel banners are shown at the top right hand corner of the page and once hovered over, reveal the information that's being hidden underneath it by peeling back towards the page, almost like a page in a magazine. We have put some sneaky little phrases on them to make people want to hover over it, so we're sure you'll start seeing some more conversions with these babies. You can find the new tool under Marketing Tools > Page Peel Banner. If you have any questions about them, please don't hesitate to email Support@RewardsAffiliates.com and someone will get right back to you As you know the free spins promotions are the ones that get the most real registrations by far, so we wanted to make them that one step easier to convert real registrations to purchasing players.. Well, we've done it! Now your players have the chance to "Try Again" when they are playing the free spins.. The only conditions are that the player must have a balance of credit and have not exceeded the 60 minutes.. So if your player has spent 10 minutes playing and only has $20 left in their balance for example, they can click the “Try Again” button and their credits will reset back to the original amount they were given (500, 1000, 1250 or 1500) and the clock will be reset back to the original 60 minutes.. So they are essentially starting the free spins from the start again giving them another chance to make enough money to claim as a bonus. This will in turn mean that you will have more players making their first deposit at these casinos... Pretty good reason to push the free spins and mentioning this awesome feature is one sure way to increase your conversions
