DOWNLOAD REPORT REPORTS ARCHIVE OUR SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAMMES Responsible Gambling Better Collective views betting and gambling as entertainment and strives to ensure that users and employees experience iGaming as fun and entertaining. In the long run, most players will not earn money through betting. Therefore, players should only set aside a stake that one is willing to lose for the sake of entertainment. We acknowledge that some individuals are susceptible to gambling addiction. All of our products promote responsible gambling and provide further educational content on preventing gambling addiction and underage iGaming. Promoting Responsible Gambling At Better Collective, we want to make sure that our users’ iGaming experiences remain as a form of fun and entertainment and we strongly endorse responsible gambling. This entails making sure that our users are aware of the legal gambling age in the areas they operate, and are aware of possible negative effects of gambling that could lead to addiction, and how to prevent these effects. Also, we have co-founded the trade-organisation Responsible Affiliates in Gambling to help raise standards in the sector, particularly in respect of responsible gambling. Fighting Gambling Addiction To prevent potential users from succumbing to addiction, all of our products promote Responsible Gaming. For users who have moved into an unhealthy relationship with gambling, or feel that they are developing symptoms of Gambling Addiction, we provide extensive content on how to recognise the problems of addiction, how to prevent them, and who to contact for any support they need. Transparency We aim to educate our users to make the most well-informed decisions and increase the level of entertainment by creating more transparency; from which operators to trust to where to find the best odds. What transparency means for our products bettingexpert.com is a third party tipster platform where we reward the best tipsters based on their positive performance. By letting them interact and compete in our closed sandbox, their tips are not influenced by any external incentives from bookmakers and other personal agendas. SmartBets uses SmartFacts that is based on data driven algorithms that show real sports trends, and how those trends relate to valuable bets. It also openly presents the percentage payout of every bookmaker, so each user knows how much commission bookmakers take from their actual winnings. BetBehind is the only automated betting platform that is supported by a proven community of tipsters. BetBehind utilises bettingexpert.com’s objective and transparent performance algorithms, ensuring that when it claims “top tipsters”—the claim is supported by the stats. What transparency means for our customers A Nielsen study of the German sports betting market revealed that transparency and trustworthiness were both key drivers, but currently also lacking elements, for users selecting bookmakers. Our transparent approach fulfils this user need. Market & Partners Our products provide leading online bookmakers and casinos with targeted user acquisition and increased user engagement and retention. Our partners include companies such as bet365, Coral, Matchbook, Unibet, and many others. Business Model The majority of our group revenue is generated through affiliate marketing. The model entails that we are commissioned in one of the following ways; either by getting a share of the operator revenue generated by the player losses from the acquired customer for as long as this customer is active with the operator, this is also known as “revenue share”. Or by getting a single Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) fee – a fixed amount of money per customer we send to the operator. In some cases, it is a mix of both. This structure allows us to give the majority of our products away for free, and thus enriches the online betting and casino experience for as many players as possible. In addition to this, we generate revenues through sales of subscriptions, picks and ads display (CPM). Crowd Sourced Betting Tips We create communities that invite and incentivise expert tipsters to prove their betting knowledge by sharing tips with all of our users. Compare Odds Across Bookmakers We make the market transparent by comparing odds across bookmakers, ensuring our users get the most value from their bets. Gambling Guides & Strategies We create in depth, educational iGaming guides so that our users can gain insights and be confident that their betting is supported by knowledge. Commission From Business Partners Through all of our platforms and tools, we earn commission by matching users with the right iGaming operators that suit their personal needs. Affiliate Model The basic affiliate model is very common in the digital marketplace. Fundamentally, it facilitates single affiliate journeys, where a user arrives at the affiliate platform, activates the affiliate link, and signs up with the end partner – earning the affiliate commission in the process. Better Collective’s Affiliate Approach Since Better Collective’s technically superior platforms are built around our users and their unique preferences, Better Collective products become a part of our users’ day to day betting experience. Our approach differs from the standard model as it invites individual users to come back to our platforms—facilitating multiple affiliate journeys per single user, allowing us to increase both the retention rates on our platforms, and leads to our partners.
