ADVERTORIAL The new site comes with a completely new design and content, a new front end and gives our customers a seamless crosschannel experience. When creating the site, we’ve aimed for it to be revolutionary and not an evolution of the current site. This has given us the possibility to really come up with something new and unique while also making sure that it has been architected and designed to support continuous evolution and improvements. Our customers will notice a responsive, personalised, exclusive and thrilling gaming experience with the new site. The Maria brand is historically a female-oriented one. How will the relaunched Maria.com reflect and cater for the rapidly changing tastes and behaviours of this audience? We have recently launched a completely new and exclusive bingo client which has been really well-received by the majority of the very important female segment that prefers to play bingo with us. Maria Casino will always be a brand with a feminine touch, but we believe that with the brand repositioning we are giving both our male and female target audience a better gaming experience. The new Maria Casino site will allow us to give an even better, wider and more relevant product offering to our customers compared to today. Whether “Affiliates are a core part of our business and we [...] work with each partner to optimize and maximise the business for both parties.” the customer’s preferred product is casino or bingo, they will get an improved experience thanks to the personalisation and dashboard functions to name just a few very cool and new features. All in all, we strive to deliver extraordinary service and anticipate our customers’ needs. Affiliates have a huge choice in terms of the brands they can promote. Why should the relaunched Maria be of interest to them? With the repositioned Maria Casino brand, we offer a seamless, personalised digital gaming experience that’s both robust and responsive. We build trust amongst both our customers and affiliates by consistently providing a reliable platform, attractive campaigns and sales promotions and a unique brand that has been around since 2007. The Maria Casino brand is already in the top 3 in terms of brand awareness when it comes to online casinos and number 1 position amongst online bingo brands in most of our key markets, which means we’re front of mind for a lot of potential and existing customers. This saves affiliates both time and resources to acquire and convert new customers, and means that we have a high retention rate for affiliates who benefit from the lifetime revenue share which comes as standard at the Unibet Affiliates program. In the coming months we’ll be investing more to push the brand, whether that’s through our generous welcome offers for new players, digital and offline advertising, or potentially enhanced deals for our valued affiliate partners. Affiliates are a core part of our business and we don’t take anything for granted, but work with each partner to optimize and maximise the business for both parties. With everything coming up in 2016, I strongly believe that Maria Casino will continue to grow rapidly and steal market shares, and we invite affiliates to join us on this journey and share in our future success! The new Maria Casino site will be launching across various markets in February 2016. For more information, visit www.unibetaffiliates.com or speak to your Unibet Affiliates account manager. The new Maria Casino site is fully responsive and offers players a customizable dashboard to quickly access their favourite games.
