"Understanding what aspects of the gambling experience lead to customer satisfaction is potentially a very interesting area of research. Negative experiences, such as addiction, lead to dissatisfaction, but we must also recognize that gambling can be a fun, positive part of people's lives. Exploring how utility or satisfaction is derived from gambling could provide valuable insights. This new perspective on gambling theory would be extremely useful, focusing not just on the negative aspects, but also on how gambling can contribute positively to a person's well-being." - Prof. Dr. Kahlil Philander, member of the scientific Advisory Board     👉 Note to all scientific institutions in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland: The application phase for the 2025 German Innovation Awards is open.

Time to Clean House: Why We Must Eliminate MFA to Protect Legitimate Publishers in Our Supply Chain! Andrew Casale calls for a collective action and clean up the supply chain. Ban MFA:  It's crucial to remove Made for Advertising (MFA) sites that compromise the integrity of our digital ecosystem. These sites not only dilute the quality of our advertising environment but also mislead consumers and devalue legitimate publishers. Clean Up Our Ecosystem:  By focusing on transparency and quality, we can enhance the overall health of our digital advertising landscape. This involves rigorous scrutiny and the exclusion of entities that do not contribute positively to our ecosystem. Strategy Shift:  Transition from the reactive approach of blocking domains to proactive engagement with quality publishers through established standards like sellers.json. This standard helps in identifying and doing business with reputable publishers, thereby fostering a more secure and reliable marketplace. Let’s go beyond merely cleaning up the marketplace. Let’s reinforce the foundations of a digital advertising ecosystem that values authenticity and penalizes deceit. ~ Andrew Casale | Index Exchange AdExchanger #AdFraud #AdTech #BanMFA
