PlayNewswire has named Gamblers Connect as its media partner, and the alliance converts the relationship the two companies have had since 2025 into a formal media partnership. Gamblers Connect, an independent B2B platform, will move from publishing PlayNewswire-distributed releases to offering editorial coverage, case studies and newsletters for operators, suppliers, affiliates and regulators.
What the partnership includes
The partnership formalises several concrete actions. Gamblers Connect will give PlayNewswire a company profile in iHub, its B2B directory, and will include PlayNewswire in its B2B newsletters on LinkedIn. In addition, Gamblers Connect will be able to cover PlayNewswire news and network additions in its news feed.
PlayNewswire clients therefore gain an additional route from distribution to editorial placement: campaigns sent through PlayNewswire can become case studies on Gamblers Connect, with results attributed to both the client and PlayNewswire.
PlayNewswire's publishing network
PlayNewswire distributes releases across a network of more than 100 news sites, which includes over 30 publications dedicated to iGaming and betting, as well as cryptocurrency, finance and technology outlets. The platform counts more than 3.500 articles generated on partner sites from distributed releases.
PlayNewswire also distributes crypto-casino releases both to iGaming specialist outlets and to cryptocurrency news sites.
Types of announcements accepted and editorial review
PlayNewswire accepts releases about gaming, casinos and sports betting: game launches, licence news (MGA, UKGC, Curaçao), partnerships and integrations, affiliate programme launches, regulatory and compliance updates, and mergers and acquisitions. Each release undergoes editorial review before distribution. For regulatory and compliance updates, Gamblers Connect may link relevant content in its coverage.
Submission and payments
According to the platform, releases can be submitted via free registration; after editorial review, PlayNewswire distributes the release the same day. For crypto casinos, PlayNewswire accepts payment by card, PayPal or cryptocurrency: BTC, ETH and USDC.
"Extending into editorial coverage and case studies gives our clients a direct route from distribution to visibility," said a PlayNewswire source.
PlayNewswire describes itself as a self-service platform for press-release distribution in the iGaming sector, including crypto casinos, bookmakers, affiliates and suppliers. Gamblers Connect publishes news, iHub profiles, interviews, case studies and market analysis for its B2B audience.
