Affiliate marketing for the iGaming sector
Affiliate marketing for the iGaming sector is an activity that involves a lot of compliance.
In virtually all regulated markets within all regulated international markets, additional rules are imposed on marketing. Operators are required to adhere to these rules, and so are the affiliates (also known as partners). For operators, it is essential to conduct compliance checks before initiating a partnership. But what if there is an extra incentive for operators to initiate this collaboration? A quality mark can be very helpful in this regard. And that’s precisely what QMRA does:

Experience-based quality assurance services for International affiliates
The concept of QMRA doesn’t come entirely out of nowhere. The organization behind QMRA, the Netherlands-based company XY Legal Solutions, has successfully established a Dutch affiliate quality mark called the ‘Keurmerk Verantwoorde Affiliates (KVA).’
KVA was established in September 2021, approximately a month before the regulated Dutch iGaming market opened. The RAS has proven to be a great success for the Dutch market:
After KVA, a version of QMRA was previously launched for both the UK and Belgium. Several affiliates and providers also joined there.
With the experiences in our arsenal, QMRA is well-positioned to once again become a household name at the European level. Our high-quality compliance procedures and commitment will contribute to the reliability of International affiliates.
For Dutch affiliates: QMRA is not available for the Netherlands, as KVA is available there. Applying for KVA can be done easily on the KVA website.
QMRA is more than just a logo
Behind QMRA, there is a team of legal specialists. Applicants for QMRA can rely on actual compliance checks of their websites. These checks are conducted annually, in addition to random sampling. This demonstrates that an affiliate with QMRA operates in accordance with the applicable legislation within the respective jurisdiction.

Submit your affiliate site(s).
The Affiliate submits the affiliate site(s), through the contact form below. We work according to the ‘per website principle’: the affiliate applies per website. This way we can be sure that we have looked at the site that has our Quality Mark on it.

Improve, get second check.
The Affiliate will process the feedback, after which our legal team will set up another report during the second compliance check. If everything is in accordance with the relevant QMRA code, the Affiliate will receive the second report (which can be shared with operators/partners), explaining in what way the Affiliate works compliant to the legislation. The Affiliate will also receive the QMRA Logo Pack, with permission to place the logo (with hyperlink to the QMRA website) on the Affiliate Website(s).
Step 6:
Step 6:
Display our logo, renew optionally.
The Affiliate can have the logo present on the Affiliate website(s) for a year. After this year, extension is needed. Our legal team will then conduct a full compliance check (with report), for which the going rate is 695,00 Euro as well (595,00 Euro for three websites or more).
