Crypto casinos and other iGaming companies that send press releases through PlayNewswire now have a new route to editorial coverage. The press release distribution platform has named Gamblers Connect, an independent B2B iGaming media platform, as a media partner.
The partnership was announced on November 5, 2026. It builds on a relationship that started in 2025, when Gamblers Connect began publishing releases distributed through PlayNewswire.
Until now, Gamblers Connect was one of more than 100 news sites in the PlayNewswire network. The new partnership moves that relationship beyond distribution and into editorial coverage, case studies and newsletters.
What Gamblers Connect Will Offer
Gamblers Connect will give PlayNewswire a company profile in iHub, its directory of B2B iGaming companies. It will also feature PlayNewswire in its B2B newsletters on LinkedIn.
The media platform may also cover PlayNewswire news and new additions to its network in its news feed. Its audience includes operators, suppliers, affiliates and regulators.
For PlayNewswire clients, the partnership adds a path from distribution to coverage. Campaigns run through PlayNewswire can be featured in Gamblers Connect case studies.
Results in those case studies will be credited to both the client and PlayNewswire. Gamblers Connect also publishes news, interviews and market analysis for the B2B iGaming sector.
How the Crypto Casino Route Works
PlayNewswire is a self-serve platform for iGaming, betting and casino companies. Its clients include crypto casinos, sportsbooks, affiliates and suppliers.
A crypto casino submits its press release to PlayNewswire, which sends it out the same day. The release goes to both iGaming trade publications and crypto news sites.
The company accepts payment by card or PayPal. It also accepts cryptocurrency, including Bitcoin, Ether and USDC.
Sign-up on the platform is free. Every release goes through editorial review before it is distributed.
PlayNewswire’s network includes more than 100 news sites. More than 30 of them are dedicated iGaming and betting publications, while the rest include crypto, finance and technology outlets.
Releases sent through the platform have led to more than 3,500 articles on partner news sites. The company describes itself as a newswire built for gambling content.
It accepts press releases from online casinos, crypto casinos, sportsbooks, poker rooms, affiliates and iGaming suppliers. Accepted topics include game launches, partnerships, integrations and affiliate program launches.
Licence news is also accepted, including announcements tied to the MGA, UKGC and Curaçao. Regulatory and compliance updates, as well as mergers and acquisitions, can also be distributed.
Under the new agreement, Gamblers Connect will list PlayNewswire in iHub and include it in its LinkedIn newsletters. Client campaigns run through PlayNewswire are now eligible to be featured in Gamblers Connect case studies.
