FAQ
How does an Affiliate Manager differ from a Media Buyer?
An Affiliate Manager works with external partners who send traffic in exchange for a share of revenue. A Media Buyer buys traffic directly and spends the company's own budget.
Can I get in without experience?
Yes — it is one of the most open doors into iGaming. English, discipline and negotiation skills matter more than a track record.
