🎤 CEO of Legalbet Dmitry Zaytsev: "Work Legally, and Everything Will Be Fine"

In today's regular iGaming Heroes column on 3S.INFO, we welcome Dmitry Zaytsev, the CEO of Legalbet. What excites him, and what frustrates him about today's affiliate marketing landscape? Where should you go to stay ahead in this niche? How to minimize scam risks? What is he proud of?

Find out in this interview!

🔵 A classic first question: How did you get started in betting and media? We're eager to hear your story, from your early days to the present?

Before joining Legalbet, I spent twelve years working in marketing and sales across various fields. I have experience working in startups and corporations, as well as managing my own microbusiness.

Eventually, I felt the need for a change, so friends invited me to work in a casino. There, I quickly rose to the position of Head of Affiliate. Afterward, I served as Head of Affiliate in e-commerce on behalf of a direct advertiser.
I joined Legalbet as Head of Sales and, in just over two and a half years, progressed to CEO.

Interestingly, I didn't deliberately aim for a position in media or betting, but I was strongly drawn to the company's culture, values, and business approach.

My current position is a combination of coincidences, accumulated experience, and a perfect alignment with the company's values and culture.

🔵 What was the most important lesson you learned in your first year as a leader? Was there a defining moment that changed your approach to managing a team?

The most important lesson is to listen to your team. Once you take on a serious managerial role, it's easy to get caught up in strategy and higher-level business concerns, accidentally overlooking the fact that people are actually the ones who make the business happen.

People are the most important asset for any company.

🔵 What aspects of the current state of affiliate marketing make you particularly happy or frustrated? Which key problems need urgent changes, and how would you change them if you had the power to do so?

I'm pleased to see how much affiliate marketing has matured over the past few years. There's been a shift toward a more businesslike mindset, with a focus on long-term partnerships. It's no longer just about quick money-making schemes like it was 3-5 years ago.

What irritates me is recruitment. The affiliate sphere is oversaturated with gambling. Nowadays, people with little to no experience demand salaries 1.5 to 2 times higher than the industry average without possessing the necessary skills or qualifications.

🔵 Here's one of our favorite questions: what advice, either received or given, has proven to be the most valuable in managing a team, building a product, or in life in general?

Never be afraid to hire people who are smarter than you.

I firmly believe that experts should teach me what to do and how to do it, not the other way around. Only in this way can teams achieve remarkable success.

🔵 What section or feature of Legalbet are you most proud of personally?
Why is it so special?

I’m proud of that, but I'm not responsible for that myself. Legalbet provides honest and transparent information to users. We don't sell spots in rankings or publish sponsored content. All ratings for bookmakers and casinos are based purely on objective metrics. This approach allows us to maintain our reputation as industry experts.

As for my personal accomplishments, I’m proud to have built one of the strongest affiliate/sales departments in the market over several years. Without false modesty, many affiliates acknowledge that it's very pleasant to work with us. Furthermore, our team members excel at interpreting direct and indirect traffic metrics, enabling us to cultivate mutually beneficial relationships with partners.
