Diving into the world of leading booking platforms, we’ve realized just how much they impact the success of your property. We’ve started listing Aviator Bali across various platforms, and here’s what became clear: every platform has its own leaders and unique features. Yes, direct bookings are always more profitable since there are no commissions. However, if your property isn’t listed on major platforms, it simply won’t be found. Most travelers start their search on these platforms. What’s more, the number of bookings your property receives there determines your ranking. The higher your ranking, the greater your chances of attracting more guests. To manage all these platforms effectively and stay competitive, we use Cloudbeds — one of the leading Channel Managers. It helps us sync prices, availability, and analyze results. This is especially crucial when working with platforms like Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb, and others. Today, we have fantastic news! Our first guests left a review on Booking.com, and our current score is 10.0. This is incredible motivation to continue providing top-notch services and ensuring every guest has an unforgettable experience. If you’re interested in earning with us through real estate, send us a message — let’s discuss potential partnerships! #AviatorBali #Booking #RealEstate #Cloudbeds #Travel #Investments #IncomeProperty #Bali #Hotels

Attracting new players is crucial as an affiliate, but what about keeping them around? 🧐 Typically, affiliates invest all their resources in driving new players but not in helping operators with retention. In my opinion, this is a missed opportunity. It will not only help boost your rev share deals but also help you build deeper relationships with operators. When loyal players return, they generate consistent income. The longer they stay, the more valuable they become. This is common sense. Here are just some ways that we can help operators improve retention: - Highlight those juicy retention bonuses and special offers for existing players - Create content that keeps players engaged and informed about new products or competitions. - Build deeper relationships with your audience so you can offer personalised recommendations Getting someone to walk through the door is great, but making them stay for a cup of coffee (or a few rounds of poker) is even better. Here’s a question for you to ponder: Are you focusing enough on player retention?

Are you ready for the next evolution in affiliation? From comparison sites to AI-driven ecosystems, the iGaming affiliate world has changed beyond all recognition. Gone are the days of straightforward, but let's face it, boring comparison sites. This type of content is not effective in the modern age, where the reader is always demanding more. Today, the best affiliates create rich content that provides players with valuable information and expert insights. The job of an affiliate is to make the decision process for players simple, right? We’re striving to make the process as convenient as possible for casino players. Personally, I'm excited about how AI and advanced tech are shaking things up. Affiliates can now use AI to personalise experiences and manage player groups more efficiently. In Brazil, for example, some affiliates use Telegram channels to connect with players. They are using smart tech to target traffic and build active communities there. This is just one example that illustrates how much our industry is evolving. How are you taking advantage of these advancements to stay ahead?

I never found a good guide on how to run a strategic session. So, we created our own at Fuel. When I share how we do it, many founders are often impressed. We usually spend 2 days on it, but this time we went outside the city. No distractions, just focus. We had two main goals: 1/ Run a strategic session. 2/ Spend quality time together. Since we’re a fully remote team, this time is super valuable. Honestly, the best moments—our dinners, talks, laughs—that’s when the real connection happens. Here’s our 6-step playbook for running strategic sessions at Fuel: 🟢 Before the session 1️⃣ CEO’s Deck: I send out a deck 2-3 weeks ahead. It includes our long-term goals (5-10 years), short-term tactics (1-3 years), and win goals for the next year. I focus on key areas: customers (NPS, retention, etc.), finance (valuation, revenue, fundraising), and sales & marketing. I also include where we are now in each area, along with a list of big questions we need to answer as a team. 2️⃣ Exec Team Decks: Each exec shares their own deck. These cover what we’ve learned from past projects (scale or stop?), analysis of key metrics (plan vs. actual), and decisions we need to make. They also list what info or data they need from each other. 🟢 During the session 3️⃣ Day 1: We go through all the presentations, brainstorming ideas, projects, and decisions. We also make a list of all crazy ideas (without judgements) in marketing, sales, and product. 4️⃣ Day 2: We prioritize those ideas based on how much effort they need vs. the value they bring. We mark each one as High/Medium/Low input/output. Then we add timelines, risks, who’s responsible, and which team members are involved. 🟢 After the session 5️⃣ Two weeks later: We spend the next two weeks finalizing projects, adding details like what resources we need (new hires, budgets) and what outcomes we expect. 6️⃣ Execs & Financial Manager: The execs share their finalized projects with our financial manager, who updates our financial plan. We then review everything together — how the projects will impact our key metrics: revenue, retention, gross profit margin, logos, runway, burn rate, etc. If we’re not happy with the results, we adjust the projects and try different financial scenarios. 🔵 Tips: ▪ Keep decks under 15 slides. Less is more. ▪ Send CEO deck 2-3 weeks ahead for better team focus. ▪ Save prep time with quarterly sessions and an always-updated metrics dashboard. And planning is just the start. We do weekly plan vs. actual analysis to make sure we’re staying on course. Finally, the most crucial piece of the puzzle: the great team!

What’s More Important: Fees or Conversion Rates? In negotiations between merchants and PSPs, much of the focus is on commission rates. Typically, the range of discussion revolves around a difference of about 1%. This is understandable and reasonable, but it begs the question: why do we negotiate so intently over 1% when conversion rates often have a far greater impact? Let’s break this down with an example. For a payment volume of $1 million, a 1% commission equates to $10,000. Now imagine that acquiring a registered user costs $20, and 30% of these registered users go on to make a deposit. This means each depositing customer costs the merchant $66. In the case of an online casino, with an average deposit of $35, generating $1 million in revenue would require approximately 28,571 deposits. To achieve this, the merchant would need to spend around $1.9 million on traffic acquisition. Here’s the key: a 1% improvement in conversion rates at this scale would generate an additional $19,000—nearly twice the benefit of reducing fees by 1%. This calculation primarily applies to first-time depositors. For repeat deposits, the cost per deposit should be significantly lower. Let’s assume that each deposit incurs operational expenses of $10 (including database management, support, and other factors). In this case, a 1% increase in conversion would generate roughly $3,000 in additional value. This means that a 3.3% improvement in conversion rates offsets the cost of a 1% higher commission fee. The takeaway is clear: if conversion rates increase by 3%, it becomes more advantageous for merchants to accept higher commission fees. This shifts the focus from merely negotiating fees to understanding and managing conversion rates effectively. Of course, these numbers are illustrative, but the principle remains valid. What are your thoughts on this? Additionally, what tools and strategies would you recommend for improving conversion rates?

Here are the top 5 things you should know about scaling your credit check process for a new platform: 1. You're starting with manual checks. For startups, it's often best to begin with manual credit checks using web access. You might think this is inefficient, but it actually helps you get up and running quickly with minimal upfront costs. 2. You're worried about the breaking point. As your business grows, there comes a time when manual checks start slowing things down. You're probably wondering when this will happen. Here's the truth: when you're handling hundreds of checks each month, it's time to change things up. 3. You're not taking advantage of API integration. API integration offers several benefits you're missing out on: - Automating the credit check process - Speeding up processing times - Cutting down on manual errors - Handling high volumes more easily 4. You think switching over is a hassle. But it's actually simpler than you might expect: - You'll get API documentation and a sandbox to play around in - Our team checks in weekly to help during integration - When you're ready, just swap out the sandbox credentials for live ones 5. You're letting manual checks slow you down. Keep in mind, growing often means changing how you do things. Don't let manual checks become a roadblock as your startup expands. TAKEAWAY: It's fine to start with manual credit checks. But here's what I'm wondering... As your startup keeps growing and processing more checks, how long are you going to let manual processes hold your business back? Reach out to our team at CRS‎ if you have any further questions on this.

I'm so excited about this new experiment we're running with SwimOutlet.com. We might be on the verge of a massive customer acquisition unlock for wallet passes: First things first, just want to say it's been awesome working with SwimOutlet. In just 4 years of operation, they've reached half a billion in revenue. They're a great brand to bring Wallet Passes into mass adoption with. All credit to Alexander Sienkiewicz from SwimOutlet who had this idea for an experiment. Off the jump, SwimOutlet has used SMS post-purchase to drive wallet pass installs. It showed some success, but there was room for improvement. Now, they're experimenting with MMS, including images or gifs, in the post-purchase flow. I love this approach for a couple of reasons: 1) SwimOutlet wants to try new post-purchase messaging. Instead of going all in from the jump, they want to ideate and find edges to optimize the post-purchase flow without diving into the convoluted deep end of email. 2) This can lead to a key unlock for customers well beyond SwimOutlet. We can bring these findings to other Wallet Pass adopters and potential customers. PS: I'll drop the link to the SwimOutlet Wallet Pass below, go download it before you go summer shopping.

How can you maximize your chances of developing a market-fit product? What should you do to acquire your first users/clients and generate revenues? To raise an investment, the entrepreneurs have to present a plan, according to which you, your team, and the investors can understand market requirements and assess the economic feasibility of the product. A goal without a plan is just a wish!

Founders - when fundraising becomes slower, you need to extend your runway. Here is a guide from Sequoia. 🌿 𝗥𝘂𝗻𝘄𝗮𝘆 = 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗿𝘂𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗵 It’s your cash balance divided by your monthly burn. For example: → you have $10M in cash → you spend $500k a month → $10M / $500k = 20 months It gets a little more complex than that. Sequoia recommends calculating cash balance as: → 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 = 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗵 - 𝗱𝗲𝗯𝘁 Because debt is borrowed money. It comes at a cost. And you have to repay it. 𝗘𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗵, 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘁? You should calculate it every single month. Once it comes close to 12-18 months, start fundraising. Especially in the current market where closing takes longer. The good thing is: it gives you a target. Investors are waiting for the next milestones. Runway gives you a timeline. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝘄𝗮𝘆? The deck explains it well, the main idea is to: → understand your current spend → break it into components → prioritize the reduction in the matrix (slide 18) → set a goal and execute on it Credit & Thanks to Hugo Rauch
