RavenTrack Review
6.3/10The fast riser of this category's operator-platform segment: a Manchester shop of about 30 people whose StatsDrone base climbed from 26 programs in May 2024 to 69 in January 2026, with live panel trails on Betfred, QuinnBet, and the Delaware Lottery, Matchbook and kwiff signed inside the last year, and Google Ads parallel tracking that no rival in this roster markets, sold quote-only with no published price to anchor a budget against.
Our read
CPA, revenue share, CPL, CPM, and hybrids are named, but negative carryover, sub-affiliation, and payout rails appear nowhere public, so the engine's real shape only emerges in the sales process.
Real-time server-to-server with pixel and postback, Google Ads parallel tracking that no rival in this roster markets, AppsFlyer for apps, and a two-way API, held back by the absence of any published uptime or telemetry record.
The strongest dimension on dated proof, with Matchbook's three brands moved in November 2025, kwiff signed in May 2026 after a competitive selection, Betfred taken from Income Access, and a parallel-run model that preserves affiliate IDs, short of higher only because no public integration catalog or timeline exists.
The compliance module is the marketed strength, time-stamped documents and T&C acceptance tracked at program and brand level plus Rightlander scanning, while fraud tooling is publicly unspecified beyond a feature mention on StatsDrone's profile.
A 69-program StatsDrone base in the January 2026 edition after a 2.7x climb in 20 months, Betfred running since May 2019, and a US state lottery live, all carried by a team of about 30.
Nothing is priced in public and no SLA numbers exist, so a buyer starts from zero on budget, set against decent support signals like a published UK phone line, account managers, and a free trial without a card.
Methodology. Our own score, a weighted average of six dimensions, tilted toward commission and tracking. Scored on the operator-platform weighting, where the commission and payout engine leads at 0.22 and tracking follows at 0.18, so strong migration proof and the hardest kind of client trail lift the middle dimensions while the undocumented engine mechanics and the dark commercial layer pull the total down. Read the full methodology
- A dated, recent migration record: Matchbook brought Matchbook, Matchbook MX, and easyBet across in November 2025 and said publicly that the platform far exceeds its previous provider, kwiff made it primary tracking provider in May 2026 after a competitive selection, and the parallel-run model with affiliate-ID preservation takes the dead-switchover risk out of the move.
- Client trails of the hardest kind: the Betfred Partners login names Palsar Capital Limited t/a Raven as data controller, QuinnBet and the Delaware Lottery run live RavenTrack panels on their own domains (all live 2026-07-13), and a US state lottery is the strongest regulated-market trail any vendor this size carries in the segment.
- A tracking stack tuned for media buyers: parallel tracking for Google Ads that no rival in this roster markets, AppsFlyer for mobile apps, server-to-server with dynamic parameters, more than 20 configurable reports, and a two-way API that lets affiliates pull stats without logging in.
- A compliance module built for regulated programs: time-stamped document upload, T&C acceptance recorded at program and brand level with automated pop-ups, an encrypted compliance area per affiliate, and Rightlander scanning what affiliates actually publish.
- No pricing exists in public at all, no tiers, no meter unit, no setup fee, and the only contract signal anywhere is a fixed-cost pitch of unlimited campaigns, so budget discovery requires the full sales process.
- The commission engine's fine print is undocumented: negative carryover handling, sub-affiliation, and affiliate payout rails (no named PSPs, mass-payout tooling, or crypto options anywhere public) all have to be pinned down on the call and in the contract.
- No delivery numbers are published, no SLA, no uptime record, and no integration-time figure, where rivals like Cellxpert put a 4 to 6 week benchmark on the table.
- A team of about 30 in one Manchester office now carries an installed base that grew 2.7x in 20 months, and the fraud tooling behind that base is publicly unspecified beyond a feature mention on StatsDrone's independent profile.
A mid-size, UK-lean sportsbook or casino program that wants proven migration craft with parallel running and affiliate-ID preservation, hands-on UK support, and a tracking stack built for PPC and app-buying affiliates.
An operator that needs a self-serve price anchor, documented deal mechanics before the first call, or a big vendor's bench behind a global enterprise rollout, since this is a 30-person single-office shop that sells everything by quote.
Markets & licensing
Nothing in this category is licensable, so what stands in for a register is the paper and panel trail, and RavenTrack's is unusually solid for a vendor of about 30 people. The corporate record is complete: Palsar Capital Limited t/a RavenTrack, UK company 11225046, active since February 2018, with the PSC register showing Palsar Capital Holdings Limited at 75%+ of shares and voting rights since 2024-01-31 and every officer change dated, including Betfred co-founder Fred Done's board seat from 2018 to 2021. The client footprint is as hard as this category gets: the Betfred Partners login names Palsar Capital Limited t/a Raven as data controller, QuinnBet's panel runs at partners.quinnbetaffiliates.com, and the Delaware Lottery routes its referral sign-up to a RavenTrack panel on a state domain, all live 2026-07-13. The independent meter is StatsDrone at 69 programs in the January 2026 edition, seventh in the category. The geographic read is UK core, a heavy South Africa and Nigeria book, Colombia through Yajuego, and US toeholds in Delaware and Colorado.
The Delaware Lottery runs its affiliate program on a RavenTrack panel at affiliate.deilottery.com, with published terms of 10% online-referral revenue and a $50 CPA per new depositing player, and that is the strongest regulated-US trail any mid-size vendor in this segment carries. A Colorado license has been on the vendor timeline since January 2021, and Betfred's US affiliate arm now runs on the platform after years on Income Access. Still, the book is built in the UK and Africa, so a US-first operator is buying a toehold and should ask in the sales process what else is live stateside.
Manchester-built and UK-cored. Betfred has run on the platform since May 2019 with its affiliate API docs published on RavenTrack's own domain, MrQ joined in March 2020 via Lindar Media's white-label casino platform, QuinnBet's panel has been live since June 2021, Jumpman Gaming and Broadway Gaming sit in the book, and kwiff appointed the platform its primary tracking provider in May 2026 for a UK expansion push. For a UKGC-licensed program this is the vendor's deepest reference set, and the compliance module's brand-level T&C acceptance tracking maps onto what a UK compliance team actually gets audited on.

Licensing tier: A vendor with nothing licensable and a stronger trail than its size suggests: a complete UK registry record, three live panel trails including a US state lottery, and an independent installed-base meter that has grown in every StatsDrone edition since May 2024. What is missing is any security attestation, since no ISO or SOC certificate appears on any public surface.
All three panels were live on the operators' own domains on 2026-07-13, reached through the platform's account login route, which is the strongest thing this category offers.
No restricted-market posture is published, and the named book runs on locally licensed operators across the UK, South Africa, Nigeria, Colombia, and Delaware (2026-07-13).
Platform & capabilities
Everything the product does out of the box. If a feature isn't listed, the vendor either doesn't offer it or doesn't say.
Integrations & engineering
One contract and one API instead of a separate deal per studio, feed, or PSP. Here's what connects, how fast, and on what stack.
Everything routes through the platform's tracking layer and a two-way API. Operators integrate over pixel or postback with server-to-server and dynamic parameters, pull player data at brand level, and publish per-client API documentation on RavenTrack's own subdomains, the Betfred set being the public example. Pragmatic Solutions lists RavenTrack in its integration catalog on the PAM side. Migrations run the old and new programs simultaneously with affiliate IDs preserved, which is the delivery model the recent wins were sold on.
No figure is published. The nearest thing to one is the pitch that an affiliate postback is set up in minutes, and the parallel-run migration model removes the hard cutover, but the calendar itself is a sales-call answer.
Products & tools
One operator-platform stack out of Manchester: real-time tracking over pixel, postback, and server-to-server with dynamic parameters, parallel tracking for Google Ads, and AppsFlyer for mobile apps, more than 20 configurable reports behind a two-way API, a compliance module built on time-stamped documents and tracked T&C acceptance with Rightlander scanning on top, a Marketplace for creative, and a migration practice that runs the old and new programs side by side with affiliate IDs preserved.
Tracking & Reporting Engine
Real-time affiliate tracking over pixel, postback, and server-to-server with dynamic parameters, plus two channels the rest of this roster does not market: parallel tracking for Google Ads and an AppsFlyer integration for mobile apps. More than 20 reports run at player, affiliate, and resource level, and a two-way API pushes the same data into operator and affiliate systems without a login.
- Real-time tracking with pixel and postback options, and a postback pitched as set up in minutes
- Server-to-server tracking with dynamic parameters
- Parallel tracking for Google Ads, unique in this roster's public feature sets
- AppsFlyer integration for mobile app tracking
- Over 20 reports with configurable column visibility at player, affiliate, and resource level
- Two-way API so operators pull player data at brand level and affiliates pull stats without logging in
Compliance Module
The piece RavenTrack pushes hardest for regulated-market programs: document upload with time-stamping, a T&C amendment system that records affiliate acceptance at program and brand level with automated pop-ups, an encrypted compliance area per affiliate, and a Rightlander partnership for scanning what affiliates actually publish.
- Document upload with time-stamping per affiliate
- T&C amendment system recording acceptance at program and brand level
- Automated pop-ups that force acceptance of amended terms
- Encrypted compliance area for each affiliate
- Rightlander partnership for affiliate-site compliance scanning
- Marketplace for banners and landing pages, plus an odds banner tool built with StatsPlug
Program Migration
RavenTrack calls migration its bread and butter, and the mechanics back the slogan: the old and new programs run simultaneously during the switch and affiliate IDs carry over, so partners keep their links and their history. The record is dated and recent, with Matchbook moving three brands in November 2025 and kwiff signing in May 2026.
- Two programs run simultaneously during a migration
- Affiliate-ID preservation so partner links and history survive the move
- Matchbook, Matchbook MX, and easyBet all live on the platform since November 2025
- kwiff appointed RavenTrack primary affiliate tracking provider in May 2026 after a competitive selection
- Betfred's program moved over from Income Access, with betfredaffiliates.com now on the platform
- ActiveWin moved 12 brands across in March 2019, the first bulk migration on the timeline
The history
Sales decks get rewritten for every deal. A dated record doesn't.
Warren Jacobs, then managing director of Manchester agency ActiveWin, incorporated Palsar Capital Limited in February 2018 and launched RavenTrack that September as, in his own 2020 words, a bespoke service for a hand-picked group of partners including global operator Betfred. The registry carries the arc in dates: Betfred co-founder Fred Done sat on the board from incorporation until July 2021, Betfred joined as a client in May 2019, and on 2024-01-31 the founder circle resigned in favor of Adam Rowley and Paul Kirszanek while Palsar Capital Holdings Limited took 75%+ control. Read together, the record says the platform was built close to one of Britain's biggest bookmakers and has been run since January 2024 by operating management rather than its founders.

Awards & recognition
Longevity and ownership
Switching vendors is expensive, which makes the company's staying power part of the purchase. What the contract says about your data decides how expensive an exit gets.
RavenTrack vs alternatives
No two vendors describe themselves the same way, which makes their own claims hard to line up. Every name here answers the same fields, so you can see where this one sits against the closest alternatives.
| Attribute | RavenTrack | Income Access | MyAffiliates | Cellxpert |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Founded | 2018 | 2002 | 2007 | 2008 |
| Team | 30+ | 100+ | — | 29+ |
| US market | Available | Available | — | — |
| Pricing | On request | On request | On request | On request |
| Programs tracked | 69 | 170 | 362 | 202 |
| Commission models | CPA | CPA | Flat | CPA |
| Sold bundled | None | Software | None | Standalone |
The take: Income Access is the incumbent RavenTrack keeps taking programs from, Betfred being the marquee example, but it sits inside Paysafe with a network business attached. MyAffiliates and Cellxpert carry larger installed bases and longer enterprise reference lists. Pick RavenTrack when hands-on UK service, migration craft with parallel running, and current momentum matter more than a big vendor's bench or published commercial terms.
Pricing & terms
RavenTrack quotes pricing per project. Here's how the model and the terms are structured.
Quote-based flat license, pitched as fixed-cost pricing with unlimited campaigns and flat pricing across the contract term
Turnkey
Support & account management
You can't demo service before you sign, so what a vendor puts in writing is the only floor you can hold it to.
Frequently asked
The things operators actually ask before signing.
Which operators actually run on RavenTrack?+
Three programs run live panels on the operators' own domains (2026-07-13): Betfred Partners, whose login names Palsar Capital Limited t/a Raven as data controller, QuinnBet at partners.quinnbetaffiliates.com, and the Delaware Lottery at affiliate.deilottery.com. Two more are press-documented, Matchbook with all three of its brands since November 2025 and kwiff since May 2026. The vendor wall adds dated joins including Bet9ja (April 2022), Novibet (March 2022), BoyleSports (July 2022), MrQ (March 2020), and Videoslots. The independent meter is StatsDrone at 69 programs in the January 2026 edition.
How much does RavenTrack cost?+
There is no published price anywhere, no tiers, no meter unit, and no stated setup fee, so the number only exists inside the sales process. The deal-shape signals: the features page sells unlimited campaigns under fixed-cost pricing and the company's PR language promises clear, flat pricing across the contract term, so expect a flat license rather than a per-conversion meter. A free trial without a credit card is available (2026-07-13).
What does a migration onto RavenTrack look like?+
Migration is what the vendor itself calls its bread and butter, and the mechanics are concrete: the old and new programs run simultaneously during the switch and affiliate IDs are preserved, so partners keep their links and history. The record backs it, with ActiveWin moving 12 brands in March 2019, Betfred's program coming over from Income Access, Matchbook moving three brands in November 2025 with its affiliate manager saying publicly that the result far exceeds the previous provider, and kwiff signing in May 2026. No migration timeline or SLA is published, so pin the calendar down in the contract.
Who owns RavenTrack, and what changed in 2024?+
The operating company is Palsar Capital Limited t/a RavenTrack, UK company 11225046, founded by ActiveWin MD Warren Jacobs in 2018 with Betfred co-founder Fred Done on the board until July 2021. On 2024-01-31 the founder circle resigned, Adam Rowley and Paul Kirszanek took the board, and Palsar Capital Holdings Limited became the 75%+ controlling shareholder per the Companies House PSC register. Since then it has been a roughly 30-person Manchester company run by operating management, with the installed base growing in every StatsDrone edition through January 2026.
Can RavenTrack handle a regulated US program?+
It already runs one: the Delaware Lottery's affiliate program sits on a RavenTrack panel at affiliate.deilottery.com, with published terms of 10% online-referral revenue and a $50 CPA per new depositing player, and a Colorado license has been on the vendor timeline since January 2021. That is a real regulated-market trail, and a rare one at this vendor size. It is still a toehold rather than a US practice, since the book is built around the UK, South Africa, Nigeria, and Colombia, so a US-first operator should ask directly what else is live stateside.
