1win considers Royal Partners acquisition following Maxbit layoffs

Royal Partners, an affiliate network, has faced operational disruption after Maxbit, one of its Belarus-based partner entities, announced it could no longer sustain normal business operations. On June 19, Maxbit informed employees via Telegram that financial constraints prevented continued salary payments and operational continuity.

Staff members were reportedly offered mutual termination agreements with compensation packages as part of the wind-down. The collapse of Maxbit's operations has raised questions about Royal Partners' broader stability and affiliate ecosystem health.

Against this backdrop, 1win is reportedly considering an acquisition of Royal Partners itself. Such a move would represent a consolidation play within the affiliate marketing space, potentially allowing 1win to absorb Royal Partners' network and client relationships. The timing reflects broader industry consolidation trends, where larger operators seek to acquire struggling or complementary businesses. The outcome of 1win's acquisition consideration could reshape the affiliate landscape and determine whether Royal Partners' network survives or dissolves amid the current operational challenges.
