The phaseout of third-party cookies is not a limitation, but an evolutionary step that opens new opportunities for media buyers through more accurate tracking, transparent payouts, and long-term growth. Server-to-Server (S2S) postback technology, promo codes, and API integrations provide more reliable attribution than ever before. They work across devices, do not depend on browsers, and provide a complete view of player behavior.

Drawing on eight years of experience working with thousands of affiliates, the experts at N1 Partners explain how to use these new tools to scale.

Why iGaming Benefits from New Tracking Methods

In iGaming, the player journey is more complex than in other verticals. Days may pass between clicking a link, registering, and making a first deposit. A player may review an offer on a desktop, register on a smartphone, and make a deposit from a tablet.

New tracking methods are effective in these scenarios:

• End-to-end attribution. The Click ID is stored on the server and follows the player from the first click throughout their LTV.

• Cross-device analytics. Conversions are attributed regardless of which device the player uses.

• Transparency for all parties. The affiliate and operator see the same picture through analytics.

N1 Partners works with CPA, RevShare, Hybrid, and spend models. Top affiliates can access CPA commissions of up to EUR 700, RevShare of up to 55%, and individual terms. Tracking makes these models as effective as possible.

S2S Postback: The Foundation of Reliable Attribution

Server-to-Server postback is the direct transfer of data between the operator's server and the affiliate platform. This technology provides maximum attribution accuracy without data loss.

How it works:

1. The affiliate link generates a unique Click ID.

2. The Click ID is stored on the operator's server.

3. When a deposit is made, the server sends a postback containing this ID.

4. The conversion is attributed accurately.

N1 Partners provides data-driven support through daily analytics and expert recommendations, helping affiliates configure S2S tracking for maximum efficiency.

Promo Codes as a Tool for Specific Channels

Promo codes are a solution for channels where traditional links do not work effectively. Each affiliate receives a unique code. The player enters it during registration, and the conversion is recorded at the server level.

Benefits:

• Reliable tracking for streamers, influencers, and social media.

• Consistent functionality across all devices and browsers.

• Full compliance with data privacy requirements.

• Easy to use.

How to Adapt to the New Reality

Moving to modern tracking methods is a strategic decision for growth. Follow this step-by-step plan:

1. Audit your current tracking. Determine which events can be moved to S2S.

2. Implement S2S postback as the primary method to ensure attribution accuracy and build trust with the operator.

3. Start with the most valuable event. The first deposit (FTD) should be the priority.

4. Run a parallel test. Launch S2S alongside your current tracking. The target discrepancy should be less than 3%.

5. Use promo codes for specific channels.

6. Separate registration and first-deposit data in your reports to see the full picture and optimize the funnel.

7. Choose payment models that grow with you. RevShare of up to 55% and the spend model allow you to scale without limits.

8. Scale successful solutions.
