MAC AWARDS 2026: When Voting Opens and Who the Industry Will Choose

It’s that time again — we are officially announcing the launch of the MAC AWARDS 2026! This is the industry’s premier award where the market itself decides the winners. Every single vote counts and helps determine who takes the top spot in each category.

And don’t forget, the main event — MAC 2026 — is happening on May 26th and 27th in Yerevan, bringing together thousands of affiliate marketing professionals.

Why Your Vote Matters in the MAC AWARDS

The affiliate market always knows who’s been delivering real results over the past year: who built the most useful tool, offered the best payout terms, or truly went above and beyond in their partnerships. Voting is your chance to recognize those efforts and shape the final outcome.

The MAC AWARDS has also earned a solid reputation for transparency. Our own projects, as well as those of Dats.Team, are strictly excluded from the nominations, and we guarantee that only votes from real, verified users are counted.

Award Categories and Nominations

The awards span the entire affiliate ecosystem — from CPA networks and SaaS tools to media buying teams, influencers, publications, and brands. Here is a breakdown of the categories you’ll see at the MAC AWARDS.

Affiliate Programs by Vertical:

  • Best iGaming Affiliate Program;
  • Best Nutra Affiliate Program;
  • Best Dating Affiliate Program;
  • Best Push Affiliate Program;

  • Best Brand;
  • Best Affiliate Team.

A quick note on fairness: Don’t bother trying to game the system. Our anti-fraud protection worked flawlessly in previous years, and we’ve made it even stronger for 2026.

How and Where to Cast Your Vote

Voting will be open from April 21st to May 18th. During this window, the market will decide the winners of the MAC AWARDS 2026. If you already know who you’re rooting for, don’t leave it until the last minute!

You are allowed one vote per category, giving you 18 votes in total. Once you submit a vote, it’s locked in and cannot be changed, so make sure you’re choosing the nominees you genuinely want to win.

The big change this year: We’ve moved the entire voting process to our mobile app. This makes voting incredibly fast and easy, allowing you to support your favorites right from your phone as soon as the polls open.

But the app isn’t just for the awards — it’s designed to be your ultimate companion for the entire MAC conference.

With the MAC App, you can:

  • View an interactive map of all the booths so you never get lost or miss a key contact;
  • Check the speaker lineup and presentation times to catch the sessions that matter most to you;
  • Get all the details on the official and unofficial parties;
  • Chat with any conference attendee directly and schedule meetings on the fly.

At an event as massive as MAC, having all this in one place is a game-changer. It means no more digging through random chats or relying on word-of-mouth to figure out what’s going on.

The app is already live and ready to download on the App Store and Google Play. We highly recommend grabbing it now so you’re ready the second voting begins.

When Will the Winners Be Announced?

The big reveal will happen at the official MAC After-Party in Yerevan. There’s nothing quite like watching the results come in live with your peers — tickets are already available on the conference website.

A Quick Guide on How to Vote

1. Open the app and tap the banner either at the top of the main screen or in the bottom right corner.

2. This takes you to the main Awards page. Simply scroll down to browse the list of nominations.

3. Find the category and the company you want to support. Check the box next to their name and tap "Vote."

4. A star will appear next to the company, and the button will change to "Voted." That’s it — your vote is locked in and counted (and remember, it can't be undone).
