And the Winner Is... Bet365 Affiliates

The annual Affiliate Awards held on the eve of the London Affiliate Conference hands out awards in 24 different categories. When one affiliate program collects 4 of these awards, it probably deserves a closer look.

Last year, in the iGB Affiliate Awards 2011, bet365 Affiliates won 2 major awards: Affiliate Program of the Year and Best Affiliate Manager (to Affiliates Operations Manager, James Woods).
