Alfaleads is an international iGaming affiliate network and a core operating division of Alfaleads Group, a holding company founded in 2016. The network operates on a Cost Per Action (CPA) model, connecting over 1,000 advertisers with 5,000+ offers across casino, sports betting, crypto, and other verticals. What distinguishes Alfaleads in a crowded market is its deep, in-house SEO expertise—positioning itself as the only global iGaming affiliate network with such specialised knowledge, while also maintaining proficiency in PPC, media buying, influencer marketing, and mobile app promotion. The company has grown from a 13-person team in 2016 to more than 300 employees as of 2024, with offices in multiple countries, including a registered headquarters in Doncaster, England. Alfaleads has expanded its service portfolio through the creation of several subsidiaries: a media buying agency, a search marketing agency (alfa:search), a mobile app development studio, a legal support service (Alfa Defense), an in-app advertising agency, and an influencer marketing arm (Alfaleads Influence). The network has received multiple industry awards, including 'Marketing of the Year' at the AffPapa iGaming Awards 2025.
Detailed Review
Alfaleads operates as a performance-driven iGaming affiliate network under the Alfaleads Group holding company. Its primary offering is a CPA-based platform that matches affiliates (publishers) with high-converting offers from advertisers in gambling, betting, crypto, and dating. The network claims a global reach, with particular strength in SEO-driven traffic—a capability it has deliberately intensified since 2024, rebranding itself as the only international iGaming affiliate network with such deep, specialised SEO expertise. In addition to SEO, Alfaleads supports other traffic sources including PPC, media buying, push notifications, native ads, and influencer marketing.
Business Model and Ecosystem
The company’s product ecosystem extends beyond the core affiliate platform. Alfaleads Group houses six distinct business units: a Media Buying Agency (founded 2017) offering full-service media buying; alfa:search (founded 2018) focusing on SEO and ASO; a Mobile App Development Studio (founded 2019) that builds and markets mobile applications; Alfa Defense (founded 2020) providing legal support and protection for affiliates; an In-App Advertising Agency (founded 2021) for in-app ad campaigns; and Alfaleads Influence (founded 2022) for influencer marketing across gaming and non-gaming brands.
Market Position and Awards
Clients benefit from dedicated account management, tailored offer matching, generous payout caps, and weekly payments. The network has been recognised by industry awards: CPA Life Awards (Best iGaming Network 2018), Affbank Awards (Best iGaming Network & Most Creative Affiliate Program 2019), and AffPapa iGaming Awards (Marketing of the Year 2025). CEO Roman Manuylov received the 'Leader of the iGaming Industry' award at the Adriatic Web3 & iGaming Awards 2025.
Leadership and Presence
Alfaleads maintains a strong conference presence (SiGMA, iGB L!VE, etc.) and publishes regular market insights via its Newsroom. Its Trustpilot reviews show mixed feedback, but the company actively verifies employee identities to combat impersonation scams. The leadership team includes Co-Founder and Group CEO Roman Manuylov, Network CEO Aleksandra Loginova, and Chief Business Development Officer Alexander Duzhnikov.
