Las Vegas Advisor / Huntington Press
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
Las Vegas Advisor (LVA) is a Las Vegas-based consumer gambling and travel publication that has been published continuously since 1983 by Huntington Press. It is best known for its monthly newsletter, which mixes casino news, blackjack and video poker strategy, hotel and dining recommendations, and, most distinctively, a members-only coupon book used by visitors to get match-play offers, free slot play, and comps at Nevada casinos. The publication was founded by Anthony Curtis, who remains its publisher and public face. Huntington Press, its parent company, also publishes gambling-themed books, Las Vegas history titles, and travel-related nonfiction. LVA runs the Las Vegas Advisor website, which posts daily Las Vegas news, gambling articles, trip-planning guides, and subscription information. The operation is privately held and has kept its editorial home in Las Vegas for more than four decades. It positions itself as an independent advocate for smart recreational gambling and Las Vegas tourism rather than as a casino or wagering operator. Its membership model—subscription newsletters plus coupon books—distinguishes it from most modern gambling media and gives it a rare recurring-revenue stream in the consumer gambling-publishing niche.
The Coin Republic
New Delhi, India
The Coin Republic is a news and content platform serving the global cryptocurrency, blockchain and Web3 audience, with an editorial focus that increasingly extends into crypto-facing online gambling. Founded in 2018 in New Delhi, India, it publishes daily coverage of Bitcoin, Ethereum, altcoins, DeFi, NFTs and related market and regulatory developments through its flagship site TheCoinRepublic.com. The company has grown into an internationally read media brand in the crypto trade space and is particularly visible in the emerging crypto + iGaming coverage niche, where it reports on Bitcoin casinos, blockchain sportsbooks, provably fair gaming and regulatory changes. Beyond its journalism, The Coin Republic operates as a marketing and publishing partner for crypto and gambling brands, offering sponsored articles, press release distribution and audience-building services. Its media partnership with the Sports Betting & iGaming Awards has made the company a familiar name in sports betting industry events. The company is Indian-founded but serves a worldwide readership, and its commercial model is typical of independent crypto news publishers. It should be understood as a media and affiliate-adjacent business rather than as an iGaming operator, sportsbook or casino supplier.
TimesOfAI
London, United Kingdom
TimesOfAI is an AI-focused media and intelligence brand serving the sports betting and iGaming industry. It covers how artificial intelligence is reshaping sportsbook operations, odds generation, risk management, player engagement, and safer gambling. The platform combines editorial journalism with industry research, event coverage, and a newsletter aimed at operators, suppliers, regulators, and investors. It is associated with the Sports Betting Community (SBC) ecosystem, which gives it direct access to some of the industry’s largest conferences and commercial networks. Although a relatively new brand, TimesOfAI has positioned itself as a specialist source for AI-specific news rather than a general gambling trade publication. Its coverage reflects the rapid adoption of machine learning and data analytics by sports betting companies, from real-time pricing and fraud detection to personalised marketing and responsible gambling tools. TimesOfAI’s content also regularly highlights practical use cases, executive interviews, and technology partnerships, making it a bridge between the mainstream iGaming press and the AI/tech community. The brand is most visible around SBC events, where AI is a major theme, and it complements SBC’s other media titles by focusing specifically on the technology layer of the industry.
CapitalBay News is a specialist media outlet covering the sports betting and iGaming sectors, with a notable focus on African markets and emerging betting jurisdictions. It operates under the CapitalBay brand and produces a mix of daily news, industry analysis, and executive interviews. The publication is known in the industry for its coverage of regional conferences and events, including Sports Betting West Africa (SBWA), where it acts as an event media partner. Its editorial focus includes sportsbook and casino operator news, regulatory updates, supplier deals, and product launches, aimed at operators, suppliers, and affiliates. While the company is smaller than global B2B gaming media titles, it has carved out a niche around African and emerging-market gaming news. It also functions as a B2B promotional platform, helping event organisers and sponsors reach a targeted gambling-industry audience. The website serves as the company's primary distribution channel, with a smaller public footprint in terms of corporate reporting. Overall, CapitalBay News offers a regional complement to the global iGaming trade press.
MediaPro
Barcelona, Spain
Grup Mediapro is a Spanish audiovisual and media-services group headquartered in Barcelona, founded in 1994 by Jaume Roures and Tatxo Benet. It is one of Europe's largest independent television-content producers and sports-broadcast services companies, operating across the full audiovisual value chain from creation and production to rights management and technical distribution. The group reports around 6,900 professionals, 50 offices and 16 production centres in 28 countries, and produces more than 25,000 broadcasts a year. Its five business units span scripted and unscripted content, outside-broadcast technical services, sports and entertainment rights, channel and OTT platform management, and live/experiential brand events. Although Mediapro is a B2B media group rather than an online-gambling operator, it is highly relevant to sports betting through its sports-rights and broadcast partnerships with bodies such as LaLiga, ESPN and Movistar. The company has grown from its Barcelona sports-production roots into a global operation with production labels and offices across four continents. Its official website, mediapro.tv, identifies the organisation clearly as an audiovisual group, not as an iGaming supplier.
Legend is an iGaming and sports media network whose public profile is inseparable from its founder and chief executive, Guy Harding. The company first entered the wider industry's awareness in early 2024, when Better Collective announced that Harding would lead its global media partnerships. Trade publication SBC News, reporting on that appointment, identified Harding as arriving from Legend, where he had served as founder/CEO. That coverage places Legend in the sports-betting media ecosystem as a media and affiliate-style network focused on sports audiences and betting-related partnerships, rather than as a licensed gambling operator or platform supplier. Very little else is reliably documented about Legend as an independent company. Its website, portfolio of media brands, founding details, headcount, and current operating status could not be verified from publicly accessible sources. The business appears to have been founder-led and relatively compact, with Harding's move to Better Collective serving as the clearest available signal of Legend's industry positioning. In a B2B database context, Legend should be treated as a confirmed but minimally documented iGaming media network whose operational specifics remain unverified.
EU Gaming Law Group (Groupement d’intérêt économique)
Avenue de la Couronne 224, 1050 Brussels, Belgium
EU Gaming Law Group (Groupement d’intérêt économique) is a Brussels‑based consortium of five independent European law firms – Ulys, Hambach & Hambach, Sinisi Ceschini Mancini, Van Mens & Wisselink, and Asensi Abogados. Structured as a European Economic Interest Grouping (EEIG) under French law, the group collectively owns and operates the portal GamingLaw.eu, a dedicated news and analysis platform covering gambling and gaming regulation across the European Union. The portal functions as a single reference point for industry executives, compliance officers, and legal professionals seeking up‑to‑date regulatory intelligence, event summaries, and legal commentary. In addition to its news service, the group organises industry events such as the Legal Gaming in Europe Summit and offers advertising opportunities for stakeholders in the gambling ecosystem. By pooling the expertise of leading European gaming law practices, the EU Gaming Law Group aims to provide cross‑border legal insight and facilitate networking between regulators, operators, and advisers. Its registered office is located at Avenue de la Couronne 224, 1050 Brussels, Belgium, and the group’s principal digital presence is through the GamingLaw.eu website.
Você Sabia is one of Brazil’s most prominent digital media brands in the facts, curiosities, and entertainment niche. Operating primarily through a massive YouTube channel with over 47 million subscribers and a growing Instagram presence of approximately 6.1 million followers, the brand delivers short, visually engaging content covering science, history, technology, space, psychology, animals, culture, and everyday trivia. The content is published in multiple languages including Portuguese, English, and Spanish, and is also distributed via two mobile apps: a free ad-supported app called "Você Sabia?" and a subscription service "Você Sabia MAX" offering exclusive documentaries and series. Co-created by Lukas Marques and Daniel Molo, Você Sabia monetizes through advertising, brand sponsorships, and app subscriptions. While it has partnered with the betting operator Seubet for sponsorship, it does not operate any gambling or betting products; its core business remains content publishing and audience engagement. The brand's estimated sponsorship rates for Instagram posts range between $74,000 and $172,000 per post according to CreatorDB, reflecting its status as a 'Mega' tier creator.
Northern & Shell
London, United Kingdom
Northern & Shell is a privately held British holding company founded in London in 1974 by Richard Desmond. Originally a magazine publisher, it grew into one of the UK's most prominent media groups, owning the Daily Express, Sunday Express, Daily Star and OK! before selling its entire print division to Reach plc in 2018. Since then the group's commercial identity has centred on gambling through the Health Lottery, a society lottery launched in 2011 under a Gambling Commission licence that uses a network of regional operators to direct part of ticket revenue to health-related good causes. Northern & Shell also entered the competition for the fourth UK National Lottery licence, was passed over in favour of Allwyn, and pursued an appeal against the Gambling Commission's decision. The group remains controlled by Desmond and is headquartered in London, though its corporate web presence is slim; the Health Lottery site functions as its public-facing gambling operation. Its post-2018 scale is far smaller than the newspaper publisher it once was, with a compact holding-company structure rather than mass-media operations.

CasinoNieuws.nl
Netherlands
CasinoNieuws.nl is an independent Dutch-language news portal and review platform focused exclusively on the gambling and casino industry in the Netherlands. Founded by industry insider Frank op de Woerd, the site has grown into a trusted source for daily news on land-based and online casinos, regulatory changes under the Dutch Remote Gambling Act, and enforcement actions by the Kansspelautoriteit.

The platform also runs a weekly podcast, available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, where editors discuss trends and interview iGaming executives. CasinoNieuws.nl monetizes through affiliate commissions and advertising, but maintains a strict separation between editorial and commercial content, earning a reputation for unbiased reviews. With a small team and a niche focus on the Dutch market, it has become a go-to resource for players and B2B professionals alike.
