A new partnership between affiliate and advertising compliance experts, Rightlander and business intelligence agency Awin has come to fruition, resulting in a product enhancement that aims to support businesses who are looking to grow in new markets such as affiliate networks and platforms, digital agencies, Forex, telecommunications, and utilities.
This move comes after Rightlander’s successful stint in iGaming, where they proved their hand at dealing with customer challenges, marketing regulations, and partner guidelines. Their perseverance for honest marketing and experience in customer acquisition channels which marketers rely on to get their traffic from, such as websites, social media, search engines, and email.
Along with Awin and the input of other leading brands in the sector, Rightlander has created a new portal which is designed to aid clients in reviewing and rectifying marketing infractions that Rightlander has detected.
The new modular portal allows Rightlander’s clients to not only discover and monitor accurate and compliant marketing continuously across the globe but also compartmentalize and prioritise by business objective and marketing channel, such as website, social media, PPC ads, video streaming, email, etc. The portal will also offer a list of API integrations that will deliver data to the systems of the clients.
The goal is to offer targeted scanning by frequency, either daily, weekly, monthly, etc., or by compliance issues, such as required Terms and Conditions or prohibited text, with technology that is on the very edge of innovation in an attempt to reduce false positives, lower the amount of time spent on checking infractions and streamlining the remediations process.

What does this mean for marketing?
Compliance is an important aspect of marketing that is often overlooked, especially in industries like iGaming where it’s important that the industry is well regulated for the sake of the customer. Ethics around advertising, especially for controversial products like gambling, gaming, alcoholic beverages, etc. are constantly evolving, and it can take an entire team to stay on top of all the changes that could affect your marketing campaign.
But it’s a thorn in the side of every marketing department. In streamlining the concept, making it almost automatic, and a lot easier to inflict changes, businesses can spend less time and money trying to adhere to compliance and regulations. Overall, marketing departments can spend less time and money on regulations and the fines that come with a lack of compliance.
