Partner Communication

​

As part of our program to keep you better informed, and in addition to these newsletters, we have created a Partner Portal on our website. 

 

Initially this contains useful information (examples shown below), along with our newsletters should you wish to refer back to them. 

 

• What we need from you to Add A Game

• Department contact information

• Newsletter history

• FAQs

 

However the roadmap includes on-demand reporting showing key KPI’s related to the performance of your IP.  This will be iteratively updated with more detailed data over time based on your feedback.

 

More will be shared on this in future updates, but in the meantime we are happy to take requests to add to the portal roadmap, or for topics to be covered in future newsletters.

 

Until next time, happy gaming!
