Affiliate Disclosure
Gaffg website contains affiliate links, and we may earn a commission when you sign up through these links. It never affects our reviews or ratings, and has no cost for you.
Why Trust Us
Gaffg has operated as an iGaming industry portal since 2010. For over 15 years, our audience has been B2B: affiliate managers, webmasters, and operators using the site to evaluate and join affiliate programmes. That is where our authority comes from.
We are now expanding into B2C, publishing player-facing casino reviews and category pages for players across international markets.
The two sides feed each other. We know exactly how these bonus terms are drafted before they are published on the bonus page. We know why a withdrawal request which should take ‘1–3 days’ to process can remain in the ‘manual review’ stage for a whole week. We are aware of what goes on behind the scenes when you receive a KYC alert.
That is why, when we review a casino, we don’t just look at its homepage. We also scrutinise the small print. We read through the entire terms and conditions and the cashier section, as we know the summary rarely tells the whole story.
On every page, you will notice we hold ourselves to the same standard. We answer your questions directly. We state findings, not opinions. And we don’t sugarcoat anything just to make a casino look good. We call out limitations that could catch you off guard.
Whichever side of the industry you are on, we hold every page to the same standard and we don't sugarcoat anything to make a casino or a programme look better than it is.

ThePOGG.com Network has just launched its 3rd property, POGGWebmasters.com. Over the last 4 years ThePOGG.com has established a strong reputation for their thorough and professional approach to the management of player complaints, recently becoming the only affiliate model operation to receive Accreditation from the UKGC as an Alternative Dispute Resolution service. POGGWebmasters has been set up to extend this complaint service to affiliates.
“ThePOGG.com has done a great job of establishing itself as a very credible mediation and review service within the remote gambling sector. So much so that we became aware via forum posts and private communications that a significant number of affiliates were checking with our operator reviews on ThePOGG before selecting which program to work with. As time has passed we started to feel that there was a distinct gap within the marketplace for a resource that allowed affiliates to see at a glance how affiliate programs treated both affiliates AND players and another big gap in terms of a service where affiliates could gain help if they’d been mistreated. POGGWebmasters is our answer to these gaps.”
POGGWebmasters is the first site to offer a dedicated affiliate complaint service. Building on their success and experience running ThePOGG.com’s player complaints service, POGGWebmasters provides a full complaints infrastructure to allow affiliates to submit a complaint, the complaint to be managed in the private manner which ThePOGG.com has demonstrated is most conducive to a positive resolution and finally a complaint report to be published to allow other affiliates to see the nature of the complaint, how it was managed and the actions that have ultimately been taken to remedy the situation.
POGGWebmasters is also the first affiliate community to reject the ‘paid for placement’ model for operators. To ensure that affiliate complaints are always managed with appropriate impartiality and that POGGWebmasters is free to take whatever actions they deem appropriate without restriction the site will not tie itself into ‘sponsorship’ type agreements. As such, instead of paying to receive premium advertising positions, featured program positions will be given to those programs that maintain an active representative within ThePOGG forum, contributing and improving the community and resources available to both players and affiliates.
POGGWebmasters aims to cover all types of gambling affiliate programs and for launch the majority of reviews tend to cover casino, sportsbetting and bingo and more will be added to cover lottery and poker. Out of about 300 affiliate programs reviewed upon launch, only about 50 have made the grade for being recommended.
Affiliates will also be able to gain links by posting on ThePOGG Network’s message boards, which will be significantly updated in the coming weeks. Three levels of Affiliate Membership have been set up allowing those affiliates that choose to work with stronger status programs to more easily gain rewards and incentives. Only affiliates choosing to work with Blacklisted programs will be entirely restricted from receiving links (and submitting complaints).
The driving purpose of POGGWebmasters is to help affiliates make more responsible choices in whom they choose to work with, both for themselves in terms of ability to earn money and for the players they send to the various operations they work with.
The launch of POGGWebmasters completes over a year of preparation that has seen ThePOGG Network extend its coverage of the gambling markets to include casino game strategies (POGGStrategies.com) and Affiliate Program reviews. The high quality information and wide coverage of various topics within the marketplace has turned ThePOGG Network into one of the most useful industry resources on the market today.

Detailed Affiliate Program Reviews
Alongside the management of affiliate complaints full reviews have been posted of over 250 affiliate programs, with another 100 programs to be added in the coming weeks.
