Wow, what a busy month July is turning out to be…To kick the month off 12 of the UK based networks decided to throw some money behind a bar, put on a feast and host a fabulous get together for 300 affiliates, networks and agencies ~ somewhat like a “relaxed A4U” but without the Awards. Just a good old fashioned get together for faces old and new. For a selection of our photos from the night click here.
Then there is the A4U Roadshow that took to the streets of Bristol on the 16th. Representing dgm were Cat, Chrissie and Helen. It was a great success, as all events hosted by A4U seem to be, and it was a great chance to meet lots of new people and once again have a drink with some old faces.
Don’t forget our Summer BBQ on the Lock in Manchester next week (Monday 21st). There are still a few places left so please drop us an email if you would like to come. It promises to be a fun evening with plenty of food and drinks, and of course a chance to meet some of our Affiliate Management team. Both of us and Helen will be there as well as Charlotte, Sheenu, Matt and Carl.
And we had an exciting new launch last week…dgmCompare our new broadband comparison tool. dgmCompare Broadband uses broadband availability information aggregated by postcode or telephone number to return specific broadband deals to the user. Using the robust tracking technology you would expect from dgmAffiliates, you can track all sales made through the tool.
dgmCompare Broadband is deployed using banners and buttons that launch a results table. A variety of sizes and colours are available to download so you can choose one that works with your site. Alternatively you can embed the interactive i-frame directly into a page. For more information please click here.
Happy Holidays

Submerge yourself into the action at William Hill Casino
Jump into the action at William Hill Casino this month, were we’ve got tons of action for you to take part in, plus two brand new games to play.
Sub-Mariner - Dive into the action!
Sub-Mariner, of the first Marvel Comics legends now stars in his own action-packed online slot game. Wager from 1p to £5 per line as you match symbols on up to 25 lines.
Sub-Mariner features a bonus round choice from the depths of the sea. Join and control Sub-Mariner as he defends Atlantis against Torpedos fired from Submarines and Battleships. As If all this action isn’t enough for one slot game, you’ll also benefit from the Marvel Jackpot feature.
This consists of three separate jackpots, beginning at £50 (Hero Jackpot), £500 (Super Hero Jackpot) and £5,000 (Marvel Hero Jackpot). Each jackpot rises as you continue to play, until you are awarded one of them. Even more amazingly, these prizes are totally random and can occur at any time.
Multi - Hand Video Blackjack:
Fans of blackjack, the world’s most popular casino table game, are in for a treat with Multi-Hand Video Blackjack. For starters, you’ve got player-friendly rules: four decks per shoe, blackjacks pay 3-2, and dealers must stand on all 17s. Then MHVBJ puts an incredible new twist on the game by allowing you to play up to 5 hands at a time, against up to 50 dealer hands! Here’s how it works. You choose how many hands you want to play (1, 3 or 5) and then select how many hands the dealer will play (up to 50). You receive your cards, and the dealer receives one face-up card which will be the starting point for all of his hands. Now, you play out your individual hands-hitting, standing, splitting or doubling down-just as you would at a regular blackjack table. Once you’re done, the dealer plays out all of his hands. With a single strong hand, you can beat the dealer up to 50 times in one round! With bets ranging from 25p per hand up to £50, solid blackjack players can rack up wins at an incredible rate. With the click of a button, you can view what percentage of hands you’ve won, lost and pushed; there’s also a tutorial feature which makes learning the game a breeze.
