Marketing Guidelines

These guidelines are extension of the agreement between Affiliate and Superfly Partners to make sure that advertising of our brands under MGA, UKGC and AGCO regulations is carried out in a manner that respects the limitations and principles outlined. It is imperative that you read these Guidelines carefully and in full. As an affiliate, we rely on you to exercise the correct level of control over your marketing communications. While we appreciate that you are an integral part of our business, this needs to be balanced with the increasing regulatory pressure being applied to operators. We aim to ensure that our business and partnership with you develops sustainably. This can only be achieved with your compliance and continuous assistance in ensuring that all facets of affiliate marketing are being carried out in accordance with the applicable regulations.

In these Guidelines, reference to “communication(s)” includes any marketing, promotional, and advertising activity which is used to encourage customers to sign-up to one or more of our participating brands as partnered with you.

Critical Points and Tips

Media Buying and Newswire Distribution:

Any media buying activity and the utilization of newswire services to distribute communications to press agencies is only to be carried out with the express approval of the Marketing and Affiliate Compliance Department. The Department will require full specifications of the campaigns being planned, including duration and target placements, and may require a full report outlining the complete list of placements which would need to be submitted by no later than 48 hours after a campaign goes live.

We reserve the right to request immediate removal of any ads on any sites which we might deem to pose significant regulatory risk. Failure to comply with such requests will result in termination of the Affiliate relationship.

SMS and postal Marketing

Affiliate SMS and postal marketing is strictly disallowed. Any affiliates found to be promoting (directly or otherwise) any Superfly Partners brands via SMS and/or postal campaigns will have their Agreement terminated immediately. Postal campaigns include the submission of any leaflets, flyers, letters, or other material mentioning or promoting any Superfly brands.

Email Marketing

As a rule, we do not allow our affiliates to send out their own email marketing campaigns. If you would like to do so, then you must obtain our prior written consent to do this, subject to the conditions within these Guidelines being met. This does not include any email campaigns if they do not promote, mention, or reference (directly or otherwise) any of our brands.

In approving any email campaigns, we will ask you to provide assurances on how you will mitigate against targeting potentially self-excluded customers (e.g., by ensuring that terms relating to newsletter distribution lists are clear).

Should an email marketing campaign be carried out in breach of these Guidelines, you will be instructed to cease all future marketing campaigns until there is an effective process in place.

Social Media

If you choose to use social media for your Communications, you must:

You may not use social media to promote any of our brands without our prior consent. While affiliates may use social media for generic purposes and/or for generating traffic to their own websites in accordance with all applicable laws, you must not publish anything on social media that promotes, mentions, or references, directly or indirectly, any of our brands, unless we have specifically given our prior written approval to do so.

In addition, before using social media, you must disclose to us, in writing, which platforms you intend on using, along with URLs to all relevant profiles. This applies to any platforms that you might choose to use in the future as well. Failure to inform us of these details now, or as they change, will lead to immediate termination of your Agreement. We require these details to continually review and monitor your communications via social media.

SEO and PPC activity

While SEO and PPC activity may be allowed (subject to pre-approval on an ‘ad-hoc’ basis), affiliates must steer clear of engaging in any ‘black hat’ activity which would generate considerable risk and reputational damage with search engines. ‘Black hat’ practices seek to surreptitiously generate a higher ranking for a website through the use of unethical tactics. This includes activity such as:

Furthermore, any PPC activity must be subject to a granular review and pre-approval. All display ads must carry ‘18+’, a safer gambling message (e.g., ‘Gamble Responsibly’), as well as the Gambling

Therapy URL. Furthermore, whenever a PPC campaign is promoting an offer, the words “Terms Apply” (or similar arrangements) must also be included.

Disallowed claims

As an affiliate, you must not be using the COVID-19 pandemic in any way to promote our brands and/or to drive traffic to your promotional sources. We take a zero-tolerance approach with respect to any breaches of this rule and will terminate any agreements in case of non-compliance therewith.

Any claims which imply quick pay-outs, no verification, a ‘risk-free’ (or ‘low-risk’) experience, and/or which similarly seek to portray any Superfly brand as not following all applicable rules are strictly disallowed and will lead to immediate termination of any affected affiliate relationships. We have deployed automated checks for several keywords which are disallowed and will take immediate action should any use thereof be identified.

Data Compliance

Any data that you hold relating to an individual must have been collected, processed, and stored in accordance with applicable laws (in particular, the GDPR). You should keep clear records of what a person has consented to, and when and how you got this consent, so that you can demonstrate compliance in the possible event of a complaint. We reserve the right to view such records to satisfy ourselves of your compliance.

If you send an email or other form of Communication (when expressly authorized), you must ensure that the commercial intent is made clear and obvious to the recipient, together with your true and real identity. In addition, any Communication that you send out must include a link to “opt out”, “unsubscribe” or similar measures, and you are obliged to honor such requests. You must not make this opting-out process difficult or at a cost.

Additionally, any email should make clear reference to you in the “From” field. In other words, there should be no confusion as to the true identity of the sender of the email. The Subject must refer to the email content and must not be misleading. It should not be written in such a manner as to constitute “click-bait”.

Remember, you must only use creative media only that we supply for email campaigns, and they must not be altered whatsoever unless you have received our prior written consent to do so.

Do not spam recipients or send unsolicited emails. You must prove that you have received express and specific consent from your intended recipients, mailing list etc. If you don’t have this consent, then immediately remove the recipients from your database. Upon our request, you must be able to substantiate how your database of email recipients has been obtained, in addition to your general obligations pursuant to applicable laws relating to data privacy and security.

Key Requirements

Do not create or amend any creative media supplied to you unless you have received our prior written consent to do so. Any amendments to our creative media or creation thereof would be in breach of your Affiliate Agreement with us. This includes promotional banners, images, or other assets. This is to ensure that your communication(s) are always legally compliant. If you wish to use text or other material that is not supplied by us to describe, advertise, or promote any of our brands, games, offers or services, then you must obtain our written approval prior to publication. Similarly, you must not repurpose any material aimed at non-GB jurisdictions for a Great British audience.

Do not change promotional landing pages. These landing pages are crucial given that they often contain the full terms and conditions applicable to your communication. Any changes to these links will result in the communication itself no longer being valid or compliant. The links must not be changed, and customers must not be taken to alternative pages. If you are unsure about which landing page to use, please: a) contact us; and b) do not enable the offer to be live until we have confirmed/approved the landing page.

Do not display or place digital adverts (including pop-ups and pop-unders) on copyright infringing websites, such as movie streaming or piracy websites. These are websites that contain illegal content, such as a Torrent Download webpage, or those that enable you to illegally stream ‘Live TV’ or movies, such as Putlocker.

Do not display, direct or place Communications anywhere there is gambling advice or corrective behavioral content.

You must ensure that you keep an accurate record of websites, media accounts, channels and other platforms on which you are sending or displaying communications. We will require continued access to review such records to ensure that we can satisfy our regulatory obligations. You can therefore only display or submit communications via platforms which you would have disclosed to us and which we would have not rejected. Any changes to such arrangements must be sent to us for review and approval prior to being implemented.

At any point, you must be able to disclose to us a complete list of URLs wherein you submit or display our communications. If you are unable to acceded to such request, we shall be left with no option but to terminate our Agreement with you.

Any communications must not be displayed, target, or be appealing to those under the age of 18. This includes the form and content of your Communication, such as including child-like imagery, bright colours, or choice of wording. Please note that certain games are ‘age-gated’ across the WHG network to mitigate this risk. Such games and any ancillary promotional assets may not be utilised in affiliate material. This also applies to any content of your website or online presence.

Should you wish to promote our brand(s) via recorded videos, kindly get in touch to acquire the relevant Guidelines.

Media Buying

Media buying activity by third parties is allowed, subject to a number of strict requirements. By its very nature, media buying activity will lead to a number of ads being placed on a variety of websites, which carries a considerable inherent risk. The following rules must be followed with respect to such campaigns:

o The target categories of sites that will be used for the campaign; o The duration of the campaign; o The offer/s that will be promoted; and o The landing page/s that will be used for traffic redirection.

No approval shall be provided to media buying activity without such assurances being provided.

We request that you do not use social media to promote any of our brands. In other words, we only accept affiliates who use social media for generic purposes and/or for generating traffic to their own websites in accordance with all applicable laws.

Affiliate-run promotions and campaigns

Any affiliate-run promotional campaigns (e.g., prize draws, exclusive offers, leaderboard tournaments etc) must be submitted to us for review and pre-approval prior to being made public. Any such requests must include the full details of the offer / promotion, a draft set of Terms and Conditions, and any imagery or other promotional assets that will be used in relation to the campaign.

Superfly Partners has a comprehensive set of internal guidelines concerning the proper running of such promotions which shall be applicable in full to any affiliate-run campaigns wherein a Superfly brand is featured. Affiliates are expected to be able to comply in full with these requirements, and must ensure that any promotions are run fairly, and that participants are provided with full, clear, and non-misleading details.

CMA Compliance

Given the numerous changes required by the CMA, we request that, if you are not targeting the Great British market, you ensure that all offers and promotions do not feature monetary values in GBP/£. Please use Euros, Dollars and/or other currencies, as required. Different Marketing Guidelines apply should you wish to promote our brands in other jurisdictions outside of Great Britain. Should you be interested, please get in touch.

However, if it is your desire to target the Great British market, where your offer/promotion contains GBP/£, this must either:

  1. Use pre-approved creatives which have been specifically amended and created to comply with

GB regulations; or

  1. be approved by the Marketing and Affiliate Compliance Department.

Should you display any other offer or promotion with GBP/£ that has not been approved, we will be left with no option but to terminate our Agreement with you, in view of the level of importance placed on this by the Gambling Commission, the ASA, and the CMA.

Disallowed claims

As an affiliate, you must not be using the COVID-19 pandemic in any way to promote our brands and/or to drive traffic to your promotional sources. We take a zero-tolerance approach with respect to any breaches of this rule and will terminate any agreements in case of non-compliance therewith.

As credit cards are no longer accepted in Great Britain, you must ensure that any references to such form of payment are removed from your promotional sources that promote our brand(s).

Any links between Superfly brands and “buy now pay later” service providers (e.g., Klarna, Clearpay) are strictly disallowed. We do not make use of such service providers in Great Britain, and therefore any such mentions would be incorrect and pose an unacceptable regulatory risk. Failure to comply with requests for changes/corrections to such content may result in termination of any agreements.

Any claims which imply quick pay-outs, no verification, a ‘risk-free’ (or ‘low-risk’) experience, and/or which similarly seek to portray any WHG brand as not following all applicable rules are strictly disallowed and will lead to immediate termination of any affected affiliate relationships. We have deployed automated checks for several keywords which are disallowed and will take immediate action should any use thereof be identified.

The Subject must refer to the email content and must not be misleading. It should not be written in such a manner as to constitute “click-bait”.

Remember, you must only use creative media only that we supply for email campaigns, and they must not be altered whatsoever unless you have received our prior written consent to do so.
