ASACP Names DialXS, TheDatingNetwork as September Featured Sponsors

LOS ANGELES — The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) has named DialXS and TheDatingNetwork.com as its Featured Sponsors for September.

"ASACP’s monthly Featured Sponsors are among the industry’s most respected companies and are prime examples of how responsible business practices, ethical operation and social awareness can serve to protect minors from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials,” explained a rep.

According to Executive Director Tim Henning, the association encourages all companies and organizations to take a caring, leadership role, and join in the fight to keep minors out of and away from adult-oriented materials by sponsoring ASACP and its efforts.

“As 2020 races by and the fall [trade show] schedule goes virtual due to the continuing COVID crisis, the online entertainment industry is embracing a ‘new normal’ where social distancing is becoming a more difficult to deal with ‘business distancing,’” said Henning. “This is a significant challenge for both our child safety initiatives and our fundraising efforts to fuel those initiatives.”

“Without the real-life outreach to industry stakeholders that the association once relied upon, our educational opportunities have been dramatically curtailed,” Henning explained. “Thankfully our existing members and sponsors are stepping up to carry the fight forward and are making a positive difference in preserving the innocence of today’s constantly-connected youth.”

The support that ASACP receives from sponsors such as DialXS and TheDatingNetwork, explained the rep, “enable it to continue its near 24-year record of success and to provide a range of educational and informational resources,” including market-specific Best Practices, and a Code of Ethics for online businesses, app publishers and operators of age-restricted websites.

These are the ASACP descriptions of their September sponsors:

DialXS

An ASACP Title Sponsor, DialXS is a major international payment services provider that has operated since 2000 and is also the association’s exclusive Travel Sponsor.

The company specializes in the processing of trusted European payment methods as an alternative to high-risk credit card transactions and as a proven way to boost conversions in most European nations.

"In many European countries, people do not like to give their credit card details to an unknown merchant. They would rather pay using their already trusted ways to pay online,” DialXS CEO Chris Visser stated. “To optimize conversions, you need to provide the customer a preferred payment method in all targeted countries and with many of our payment methods, there are no options for customers to do an unjustified chargeback."

Like many companies, DialXS has noted significant market changes in the face of the coronavirus pandemic — changes that have benefited many brands in the adult space, but that has hurt ASACP’s outreach efforts.

"DialXS takes online child protection extremely seriously and so we are pleased to provide ASACP with the support it deserves and to help enable its presence at international trade events,” DialXS CEO Chris Visser stated. “The pandemic poses a wide range of challenges, including barriers to travel that make it hard for the association to reach stakeholders, but together, we can make a difference for the children of the world."

TheDatingNetwork.com

For 25 years, TheDatingNetwork (previously known as the SexSearch affiliate program) has provided affiliates with some of the best-converting casual and adult dating offers online.

“We have the best dating affiliate program. We’re one of the pioneers in affiliate marketing as well as the online dating industry paving the way since 1996,” said TheDatingNetwork’s Marketing Manager Junior D’Lab. “Affiliates get access to high-converting and exclusive, casual adult dating offers with the highest payouts in the industry. What else more could a dating affiliate ask for?”

Because of the personal nature and content of casual dating websites, keeping minors away is vital.

“TheDatingNetwork strongly supports and is in agreement with ASACP regarding the protection of minors from age-inappropriate materials and being against child pornography,” D’Lab added. “This is why we’ve been a corporate sponsor with ASACP since 2005.”

“ASACP’s Featured Sponsors demonstrate that despite the evolving challenges of the current marketplace and world beyond, proactive leadership and corporate responsibility continue to make a difference,” Henning concluded. “The much-appreciated generosity of industry leaders such as DialXS and TheDatingNetwork enable ASACP to carry out its vital mission to protect today’s constantly connected youth.”
