Affiliates are adopting advanced analytics, user intent modelling and AI-powered content, driven by regulatory expectations and new search patterns shaped by large language models.

Game Lounge has been active in this shift, promoting transparency and stronger data practices across the industry. Through its work on the Affiliate Trust and Data Index and its focus on accurate tracking, the company has positioned itself as a reference point for data quality and responsible reporting.
