Putin in town as AskGamblers gears up for second annual awards

The 2018 AskGamblers Awards will share the city of Belgrade with Vladimir Putin this week, as the Russian president visits amid a sea of protest.
With thousands of Serbians taking to the streets in protest against their own president Aleksandar Vucic, national broadcaster B92 expects Putin to be welcomed by more than 70,000 supporters.  
Held in the Serbian capital this Thursday, Affiverse is the exclusive media partner for the ceremony designed to recognise the best online casinos from 2018.
The preceding night will see a charity event held at the city’s Kabinet nightclub, including auction and lavish after party.
AI founder and CEO Lee-Ann Johnstone, supported by Marketing Manager Natalie Lees, will be making the trip to cover the gala event live, which features the categories of Best Casino, Best New Casino and Best Slot.
Johnstone commented: “As an affiliate marketing media partner, we are proud to support this unique AskGamblers initiative. Affiverse is a business purposefully built on and around supporting innovation and affiliate growth in the igaming industry.
“The AskGamblers Awards is a great way for an affiliate brand to help operators and players to work together to deliver unique experiences and improved community values.”
