The Gamblest
Limassol, Cyprus (inferred from AffPapa)
The Gamblest is a B2B iGaming news portal and directory launched in 2025 by AffPapa, a well-established company in the iGaming affiliate and B2B space. The platform serves as a central resource for operators and software providers, offering up-to-date news, in-depth articles, and a detailed directory of B2B suppliers across categories such as casino game providers, sports betting providers, white-label platforms, and turnkey solutions. Advanced filtering tools help operators find suitable partners, while an events calendar and interview section add further value. The Gamblest positions itself as a one-stop shop for industry professionals, aggregating information on providers like Soft2Bet, SOFTSWISS, Evoplay, Altenar, and Slotegrator. With a clean, modern design and a presence on Instagram and Facebook, it aims to streamline vendor discovery and keep readers informed on regulatory updates, quarterly results, and market trends. While still a young project, it benefits from AffPapa's existing credibility and operational base in Limassol, Cyprus, making it a useful entry point for operators new to the iGaming landscape or those seeking a quick overview of provider options.
Coinworldstory is a niche content platform that publishes reviews and analyses of cryptocurrency, forex, and blockchain-adjacent opportunities. Founded in 2018, the company covers topics such as ICOs, HYIPs, cloud mining, NFT projects, forex brokers, and online earning schemes, targeting retail investors seeking guidance. Its primary domain is coinworldstory.com, and it maintains an Instagram presence (@coinworldstory) to promote its articles. The company leaves a minimal public footprint: no official about page, employee directory, or leadership bios are available, and it is not listed on major business databases like Crunchbase or LinkedIn. A ZoomInfo entry confirms the 2018 founding year but provides no headcount or revenue. The site is monetized through advertising or affiliate links, and a Traders Union review describes it as safe and legitimate but limited to third-party opinions. Coinworldstory appears to be a very small operation—possibly a one-person or few-person effort—operating in a crowded field of crypto review blogs without any distinctive products, proprietary technology, or notable industry impact.
Cryip is an independent media and research outlet focused on the cryptocurrency and Web3 sectors. Its stated mission is to deliver 'clarity, context, and responsible analysis' to professionals navigating digital asset markets. The company positions itself as a provider of news, data, and analytical content designed for institutional and informed individual audiences. While the breadth of Cryip's offerings is not publicly detailed, its presence on both LinkedIn and IQ.wiki confirms its role as a niche information service in the fast-evolving crypto intelligence space. At present, no information is available regarding the company's founding date, location, headquarters, employee count, official website, or leadership team. The lack of a published public profile beyond these two sources suggests Cryip operates as a small, focused operation with limited external visibility. The independent nature implies a commitment to unbiased analysis, but its limited online footprint raises questions about its reach and credibility. Nonetheless, for those seeking curated crypto insights, Cryip represents an emerging voice in the space.
