In Russia, capers and affiliates are promoting iGaming operators through the MAX messenger, as noted by the Telegram channel 'Vrednyy Bukmeker'. Among the brands being promoted are Melbet, PARI, Winline, Fonbet, BET-M, 1win, GETX, IZZI, MONRO, BEEF, and others.
Channels selling predictions can be found in the messenger's search by thematic queries. Some of these channels are run by affiliates who place referral links to the operators.
The Telegram channel 'Tri Topora' analyzed a double-earning scheme using one of the betting channels in MAX as an example. The author gathers an audience through videos on the VK Video platform, linking to channels in MAX and Telegram, where they then post predictions with partner links to bookmakers. Additionally, they offer a paid subscription for predictions through a separate landing page.
