The global gambling industry moves fast, new markets open, regulations shift, companies merge, and entire strategies change overnight.
We launched CasinoNews.io as a dedicated industry news platform to follow those changes closely and explain what they actually mean for the sector. Our team has spent more than 17 years working with casino operators, tracking regulation, market expansion, compliance changes, and the business decisions shaping casino markets around the world.
Over time we realised something: despite how large and influential this sector is, there are very few websites that cover it thoroughly. That’s the gap we created CasinoNews.io to fill.
We are a privately funded digital news publication focused exclusively on the global gambling and iGaming industry.
We’re researchers, writers, players, and industry observers who have spent over 17 years working with or at gambling operators, covering industry developments and tracking regulatory frameworks, market expansion, compliance changes, corporate strategy, and product innovation across multiple jurisdictions.

Our reporting is grounded in verifiable facts and real events. Every story we publish is based on identifiable source material that allows readers to understand where the information comes from and how it was obtained. You can read more about our approach in our editorial transparency guidelines.
Depending on the subject, our coverage may rely on a range of primary and official sources, including:
Whenever possible, we link directly to the original documents so readers can review the source material themselves.
When a story is based on developing information, we make that clear. As new details emerge, we update our reporting and note the changes to ensure the article reflects the most accurate and current information available.
Gambling industry coverage often falls into two extremes: promotional noise or surface-level reporting.
We started CasinoNews.io because we wanted something different.
CasinoNews.io provides:
We prioritize primary documents over second-hand reporting.
When covering regulatory or legal matters, we rely on official government publications, regulatory authorities, and formal enforcement notices.
When covering financial or corporate activity, we reference earnings reports, investor presentations, market disclosures, and executive statements.
If we make an error, we correct it.
Updates are reflected in the article, and material changes are acknowledged transparently.
Readers are encouraged to contact us if they believe something requires clarification or correction.
CasinoNews.io is currently privately funded.
There is no monetization during our beta phase.
No ads. No sponsored placements.
If our funding model changes in the future, we will explain how and why.
