Five minutes with…Paul Puolakka of MetalCasino.com
This month's quickfire Q&A comes courtesy of Paul Puolakka, head of affiliates, MetalCasino.com
Q: What makes Metal Casino a great partner for affiliates?
We’ve worked hard on combining the thrills of rock and the metal scene with gambling and we’re the first and only metal-themed online casino. You can really say that we stand out from the generic online casinos. We have a broad selection of casino games, but also other great content such as our kickass “merch store” and our weekly Metal Casino TV live streams.
Q: What do you enjoy most about your job?
Coming from Finland, which has the most metal bands per capita in the entire world, it’s easy to say that I enjoy metal music a lot and combined with a great team and great product it sure is a winning combo to me. My work colleagues are awesome and I’m looking forward to travelling and seeing them again!
Q: If you could give one piece of advice to an aspiring affiliate manager, what would it be?
Work hard, Rome was not built in a day.
Q: Who would play you in the movie about your life?
I’d say Ryan Reynolds and it would be an action comedy.
Q: What’s your karaoke song of choice?
This is a tough one, perhaps something you can sing together like Wonderwall by Oasis.
Q: Which one thing can’t you live without?
Oxygen.
Q: Who would you most like to be stuck in an elevator with?
Let’s skip this one, I don’t wanna think about that scenario.
Q: Where would you time travel to and why?
Wembley Stadium 1986 to see Freddie Mercury perform with Queen (might also check the correct lottery numbers of the future before travelling there..).
Q: What is your favourite TV programme?
Mad Men.
Q: What is your biggest guilty pleasure?
So many of these, probably a nice pint of IPA and perhaps Ben & Jerry’s.
Q: If you won the lottery, what would you spend the money on?
I would probably buy a nice Lakeview house in Finland and another flat somewhere abroad. If the winnings were big enough, I would buy houses for my family and give something to charity.
Q: Name one place everyone should visit before they die.
Northern Norway is an absolute stunner, everyone should see it!
