AffPapa has confirmed Winandyou Partners as a Signature Sponsor for the AffPapa iGaming Awards 2026, a move that underscores the affiliate programme’s commitment to strengthening its brand presence among top-tier affiliates, operators, and B2B providers. The sponsorship places Winandyou Partners at the centre of one of the iGaming affiliate industry’s most prominent annual gatherings, creating high-visibility networking and business development opportunities.
Who Is Winandyou Partners?
Winandyou Partners serves as the official affiliate programme for both Betandyou and Casinoandyou, two brands that have carved out significant space in multiple regulated and emerging markets. The programme differentiates itself through a combination of flexible commission structures, support for over 100 payment methods, user-friendly reporting dashboards, and dedicated personal assistance for affiliates. This operational backbone allows partners to convert traffic efficiently while receiving the kind of hands-on support that builds long-term loyalty.
A representative from Winandyou Partners commented on the sponsorship, stating:
“We are proud to support the AffPapa iGaming Awards 2026 as a sponsor of one of the industry’s key events celebrating excellence, innovation, and strong partnerships in iGaming. For Winandyou Partners, this is a valuable opportunity to stand alongside leading brands, affiliates, and industry professionals who are shaping the future of the market.”
A Milestone for the Affiliate Community
The AffPapa iGaming Awards will take place on May 20, 2026, closing out the AffPapa Conference Madrid. The conference is expected to draw over 1,500 leading affiliates, operators, and B2B providers, making it a concentrated environment for deal-making and knowledge exchange. This year marks the awards’ 5th anniversary, and organisers are introducing “The Test of Time” theme alongside four exclusive categories dedicated to leadership and individual achievement.
Yeva Avagyan, Head of Commercial at AffPapa, reinforced the value of the new sponsorship: “We’re happy to welcome Winandyou Partners as a Signature Sponsor of the AffPapa iGaming Awards 2026. Their focus on building long-term affiliate relationships and supporting industry growth makes them a valuable addition to this year’s event.”*
Why This Sponsorship Matters for the Affiliate Ecosystem
For affiliate directors and operator marketing teams, Winandyou Partners’ Signature Sponsorship is more than a branding exercise. It signals a strategic intent to compete for mindshare in a market where affiliate partnerships are increasingly the primary customer acquisition channel. Here are three actionable insights drawn from the move:
1. Sponsorship as a Relationship Accelerator. Signature sponsorship at a major affiliate awards event places a brand directly in front of the industry’s most influential affiliates. For an affiliate programme like Winandyou Partners, this is a fast-track route to initiating conversations that might otherwise take months to develop through digital outreach alone. Face-to-face meetings at side events and the awards ceremony itself compress the sales cycle.
2. Long-Term Partnership Messaging Resonates. The recurring theme in Winandyou Partners’ and AffPapa’s statements is “long-term relationships.” In a segment where affiliates often chase short-term CPA spikes, a programme that publicly commits to sustainable partnerships can differentiate itself and attract higher-quality, loyalty-focused affiliates. This positioning aligns with broader market trends toward quality over quantity in affiliate acquisition.
3. Leveraging Awards for Talent and Brand Credibility. Participation in industry awards lends third-party credibility. By sponsoring the AffPapa iGaming Awards, Winandyou Partners borrows the trust and prestige of an established event. For affiliates evaluating which programmes to join, this kind of association reduces perceived risk and increases willingness to commit resources to promoting the operator brands.
Connecting the Dots in Affiliate Partnerships
The iGaming affiliate landscape in 2026 is more competitive and compliance-driven than ever. Strategic sponsorships like Winandyou Partners’ AffPapa involvement illustrate how leading programmes are moving beyond standard rev-share offers to build comprehensive brand experiences. For operators and affiliates seeking to navigate this environment with clarity and the right connections, expert guidance can make all the difference.
